Sean Cubitt makes the critique that what makes a YouTube video good is the quality of the images and the clearness of the sound. He states that when the video has a high keyframe rate, a abundance of vibrant of colors, and is original is what makes YouTube videos intriguing. I agree with this because I personally am more attracted to the videos that have these attributes. Keep in mind that humor also has a large part to do with video choice.
Geert Lovink on the other hand states that even though the technology was present in 1997, it wasn’t until 2006 and the launch of YouTube that videos and video chatting became tremendously popular. The internet has so much information available and you have the ability to post pretty much anything you please as long as it does not infringe on copyrights. This is big issue with YouTube videos. But on the computer people rarely have just one window open but rather multi tasking. A word processing program as well as several internet windows, maybe even a video chat with a friend hundreds or thousands of miles away. This is very true and a large part of a lot of peoples everyday life. Social networking cites are also commonly frequented. YouTube is just so distracting. You watch one video and then you see another one in the recommended videos that seems interesting and it just continues on.
