Alternatives Considered:
Royal history
Comments: My overall experience as been very good. Its is east to upload and use the studio. As well as find a community.
Pros:
Everybody used youtube so it's easy for me to find my community. The studio as easy to use straight off the bat.
Cons:
I find the censorship and copyright to be confusing. I know of a few youtubers who have been cancelled with no reason. So I feel its not a long term place to be. I also feel I must create a backup plan for when I get cancelled. I feel cancel culture as gone too far
A great platform to create, learn, interact
Pros:
YouTube offers a multitude of features for creators (pros or beginners) and simple users and they can engage based on the content uploaded that can have a variety of themes. It always keeps up with the user's needs and digital, and social trends.
Cons:
Although, I love that YouTube introduced Shorts (short-form videos), most times the feed is not refreshed in a day, showing the same videos even after multiple reopenings of the app throughout the day.
