This paper looks at YouTube, a video sharing website, and aims to discuss whether the site is more about political and cultural aspects as apposed to technology. The paper begins by providing background information on YouTube and identifies the different participants that use the site, some of which include marketers, filmmakers, politicians, the general public and artists. The way in which politicians use the site to promote their parties is discussed and the paper also looks at the rewards users get for creativity. The concept of ‘culture of hostility’ is then evaluated in reference to YouTube.
