Updated: Apr 7, 2020

As you already know, YouTube is a website that allows users to upload, view, rate, share, report, comment and subscribe to other users. There is a wide variety of content, such as video clips, TV show clips, music videos, documentary films, live streams and much, much more. Last but not least we must mention video blogging.

YouTube's has grown as a platform for self-expression for young people looking to have real conversations about topics that affect their lives, to share their experiences, to be able to talk fearlessly about their everyday lives and their own stories.
