Overall, YouTube as a platform has definitely shaped my life. I've been able to watch different kinds of videos, from movies about cats to learning materials on different topics. My life has really changed due to YouTube, which is an opportunity for content creators from all over the world to reach their audiences. YouTube remains the platform I constantly turn to for entertainment, learning, and motivation, significantly changing my relationship with media and globally.
Pros
There are so many things to like about YouTube. The variety of content is mind-blowing, from entertainment to sports to news, these content make me open my YouTube app everyday. Some features I like about the platform is the ability to download, save and like videos and the different kinds of engagement I can have with my subscribed channels. I also love the recommendation algorithm which seems to know me more than myself...haha. YouTube has so many adorable features.
Cons
YouTube gets better with every update though one problem I have is the ads. Sometimes the ads are long and most times it interrupts me when I'm watching a video. I would really like for YouTube to update this so that ads won't display in the middle of videos.

Pros
What I like most about youtube is that you are able to post videos and make them into ads for your company which is very good.
Cons
What I least liked about youtube is that when you tried to use their editing software it would lag out a little too much which made it hard to upload videos.

I use YouTube both as a major tool for the organization I lead, as well as personally with my avocation. In addition, as a consumer, I am generally viewing YouTube more than any other website and often I use YouTube to search something before I search through Google.
Pros
Ease of creation and publishing and access to such a treasure trove of content
Cons
At this time, I do not have any cons that are worth mentioning. In the past, I have run into issues of needing to appeal a decision that was made regarding copyright that was inaccurate, but those have been resolved.
