These music videos have been created using the Sims 2 with the video closely mirroring either the song lyrics or what happened in the original video (if there was one made) by YouTube users. YouTube itself is “a free online video streaming service that allows anyone to view and share videos that have been uploaded by our members". Using YouTube you can upload videos that are up to 10 minutes long to share in a horizontal network. This is replacing the conventional method of having to email a video or having to have people round to view it on TV; you can simply upload it to YouTube.
This ability to stream videos around the world has allowed the biggest reach possible, often making stars out of the people behind the videos. The site allows the greatest access to those viewing with easy navigation and the ability to search the videos to speed up the process. There is a greater choice every day as more people upload their videos. The service is able to provide immediate satisfaction to the viewer who has to wait only a matter of seconds for the page to load and video to start. This satisfaction is vital for a user to return to YouTube again.
The audience for YouTube is huge, each using it for a different purpose, some to catch up on TV shows, some to watch comedy clips and some just to pass the time of day. The time-shift element involved with YouTube allows the videos to be watched at a viewer’s convenience as well as allowing democratisation with anyone being able to become involved. The diverse nature of YouTube’s content allows a large reach however within this scope there are many niche audiences which leads to narrowcasting and then fragmentation of the audience. There is also an element of online surveillance with YouTube, there is a list of similar videos or other related links to the video you have chosen to watch which may also introduce the viewer to a new are of interest.
