Review-Youtube(Upload the one you agree with most to your blog commenting on what it is that you agree with)

Quote 2
“…Through their many activities – uploading, viewing, discussing, and collaborating—the YouTube community forms a network of creative practice. In his book on the social worlds of art, music and design, Howard Becker (1982) described this kind of formation as an ‘art world’—’the network of people whose cooperative activity, organised via their joint knowledge of conventional means of doing things, produces the kind of art works that art world is noted for’ (Becker, 1982: x). He argues that the construction and negotiation of aesthetic values and ‘proper’ techniques is not confined to academics or experts, but involves everyone who contributes to the process of cultural production, including audiences. Similarly, on YouTube, aesthetic values, cultural forms, and creative techniques are normalised via the collective activities and judgements of the entire social network—forming an informal and emergent (and by far from homogeneous) ‘art world’ that is specific to YouTube”.


Those hightlighted words are what i really agree with.
i agree that Youtube can be regarded as "art world".
The nature of Youtube is neutral amd it's just depends on how people use it.
If we use it wisely and properly, it can be a free platform for exchanges of ideas, culture and opinion.
People can use Youtube as a tool to create their artworks by their imagination and innovation.
And someone's videos and works can become the inspiration of others' works.
And everyone can involve in the activities on Youtube.
