Conclusion


In conclusion, we have observed that majority of the blog entry are about people, or the video is intended for blog purposes. It is noticeable that more than 50% of the 'uploaders' of the videos are below the age of 40. In addition, English is the dominant language of the users and most of which come from Western countries.

Therefore, based on our experiments, we could conclude that YouTube is a popular resource for streaming videos especially those in Western countries, as well as majority of the "uploaders" are below 20 years of age.

When it comes to security, YouTube is trying to enforce responsible content sharing to its users ass they block or delete explicit or offensive videos.
