YouTube is a website that allows users to upload and share videos worldwide. Launched in Febuary 2005 by three former members of paypal, YouTube has seen immense success, and as of March 2006 roughly 20,000 videos are uploaded daily.
-YouTube, "Broadcast Yourself."

I made a video blog on YouTube.
I found Audioslave concert videos on YouTube.
Parents should be aware of what their children post on YouTube, as there are many perverts and perverted comments.

Arm-pit of the Internet
Videos
The videos are decent quality. Some are completely pointless and piss-poor quality though.
Comments
Home to some of the most vile and venomous comments you'll ever find.
Comments are usually written by people who shouldn't have never been given a keyboard.
Opinions
Don't even think of trying to post your opinion. People will try to argue with you with their simple-minded grammar-poor idiocy.

Josh: Hey man, have you ever been on YouTube?
Louis: Yeah, isn't that the website that changes itself every fucking day and forces you to sign up for Google+?

A website that encourages its users to "Broadcast Yourself," and allows people to upload videos of nearly anything. Though it was announced in October 2006 that the site was going to be taken over by Google, the REAL takeover is already occuring, under the radar, by the following groups:
1.) Overcaffeinated fifteen-year-olds with camcorders, Windows Movie Maker, and way, way too much free time.
2.) Anime fanatics who believe that virtually every song sounds better when remixed with completely random clips from their favorite episode of Naruto.

Omigod! So, like, Ashley and I uploaded the sweetest video of ourselves dancing to the latest Fergie song onto Youtube!!

The most popular video-hosting site. Millions of users upload their videos on virtually any subject out there (although nudity is not allowed).
Each video can be rated and commented on, which is not a good idea at all. Most of the comments in almost ANY video consists of 12-year old kids with no spelling or grammar skills; 30+ year old pseudo-intellectuals who try to tell everyone else how they're right and the others are wrong; racists; or people who just like to pick fights for no reason. If for whatever reason you feel like losing a few brain cells and want to look at the comments, be prepared to see a lot of "noob", "faggot", "gay", "Republican/Democrat", or "nigger" being used.
Aside from the comments, Youtube used to be a decent place, until the following started happening:
1. WMG started deleting music videos and muting videos with ANY piece of audio by any of the music artists under their labels
2. Viacom sued Google, which Youtube is owned by, having them delete many videos of TV shows
3. The majority of the user base became 14-year old tween girls obsessed with Twilight and the Jonas Brothers
4. Fred became the most popular user. Seriously, that alone is reason to avoid this place like the black plague.
Now, there is almost nothing left worth watching on Youtube, except for maybe some Failblog videos, Youtube Poops, or music videos of bands NOT owned by WMG. And even these can be ruined just by looking at the comments. It can be the most non-provoking, non-violent, socially-acceptable video ever, and you'll still see someone flaming the holy hell out of someone, whether it be the author, or another commenter.

*sees whole lot of Fred and High School Musical videos*
"Uhh... ok... lemme just do a search for a band I like"
*sees a video, clicks it, finds out it was deleted by WMG*
"Aw fuck! ... well it's ok... I'll just search for some funny stuff now... maybe someone slipping off a diving board?"
*finds video, reads comments*
"Geez... can I find some peace ANYwhere?? Ah, I know!! I'll look at a video of a cute puppy! Surely no one will have anything bad to say there!"
*finds video, reads comments*
"WHAT??? He said he wants to kick the shit out of that dog??? How dare he?!? And then he called the author a faggot?!? That's it... I'm DONE with Youtube!! DONE!!!"

Fantastic website for viewing videos it is loved by all the world. Except Viacom they hate it for some reason....
Watch and enjoy the videos on youtube but remember, no matter how much you want to, NEVER read the comments people have made. Especially those on videos that have a political connection i.e. Iraq. It may start of as an informed discussion but the comments will soon boil down to 1 of 3 basic premises.
1. 'We won world war 2 you Hitler appeasing bastard'
2. 'I suppose you would rather Saddam Hussein was still in power'
3. 'Thats typical conservative/liberal distortion of facts'
All served up with a healthy dose of abuse and words like 'bitch' 'whiny' and for some reason 'faggot' seems to be a very popular word.
Seriously it can happen on the most innocent of videos such as one for Cat Stevens, a singer who converted to Islam (uh oh), and then changed his name to Yusef Islam. I think you can see how that one got off topic!
Videos = good , comments = bad
