No. but however, it is to a large extent that youtube is created by the 3 men as a way to make money when companies use it as a channel to publicise their videos or whatsoever. It is a milestone for videos entertainment. As youtube is considered as a mass media, it is undeniable that its sole purpose is to provide entertainment to the public. Many a time, entertaining video dramas are posted on youtube. This actually allows us to watch certain dramas without us having to waste money buying the entire set of CDs. Music videos broadcasted on youtube also serve as a form of entertainment. Nonetheless, youtube could serve as a way to provide information and also for educational purposes. In a particular clip, a comedy troupe from Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, tries encouraging women to do a monthly self-exam for breast cancer by putting the message to a popular hip-hop song. This serves as a way to entertainment the mass while informing them about the important of health screenings at the same time. To add on, Larry Kaplan, executive director of the recently founded US Autism and Asperger Association, says that parents are eager for videos showing how to do behavioural interventions with their autistic children because health funds rarely cover medical visits designed for this purpose. Thus, besides entertaining, youtube actually prove to be more important than what it seems to be. Therefore i can safely conclude that youtube is not created merely to entertain and to make money.
