MyTube

 All of us love to hate the social media. That, at least, is the lip service we pay to social face saving. Yes, we all pay lip service to how addictive the social media are, and yet we crave for using these, too.

Well, in my opinion, not all forms of social media are bad though. WhatsApp chat is inevitable now, even professionally. As most all are quite busy, hardly do we get time to spend time on the WhatsApp. Moreover, it is downright boring. Yes, the WhatsApp is almost a university online, and it appears to vie with the Wikipedia as far as democratic distribution of information goes. I find it hyper boring though. The same messages, full of wrong information often, get forwarded ad infinitum. In fact, most often these messages are extremely partisan, quite ill-informed, and rather awfully hate-mongering.

That is not quite the case with the YouTube. May be, because making a video is both time consuming and quite expensive as a process, the YouTube videos are much better in information generation and distribution. Practically there is not any issue under the sun on which there would not be a YouTube video available.

Most useful are the 'how to' types. I use them quite often to sort out all sort of fixtures. And they seem very popular, too. Why, people have apparently made fortunes through such "subscriptions", it seems, when they are the rage of the internet space. 

Money need not matter much to these enthusiasts, i suppose, at least not in the initial stage. The best example of the proof of this statement of mine would be the pet videos. The YouTube (bow-)wows the viewers with  many such cute, loving videos. These loving masters make mushy reels of their pets which enrich the pet pal feel in a great way! Quite necessary, i would say, for humanising a self-obsessed world full of multiple Cruella's of all sorts!
