Youtube VS Televisi

Hi, comeback to me, Now that we're no stranger to hear the words "YouTube" "watch on YouTube" "learn from YouTube" even "see the world from YouTube", and according to a survey I did myself to my friends in the environment lectures, many of them say that they are more likely to watch content that is in YouTube than on television, Why is it like that ? whether there is something wrong with the existing content on television ? Does YouTube better than television ?

First of all, we need to know “What is YouTube ?”, according to History of YouTube on Wikipedia, YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karin who were all early employees of PayPal, YouTube began when PayPal employees created a video-sharing website where user can upload, share, and view, then YouTube make a lot of the latest innovations every year , after that YouTube has developed very rapidly in the following years.

Then, we also need to know “What is in YouTube ?”, according to YouTube.com, we can find so much contents and categories on YouTube, there are music channel, gaming channel, discovery channel, tutorial channel, programming channel, modeling channel, etc, and, we can search some contents what we looking for, besides we can enjoy a lot of content that is in YouTube, we can become a partner of YouTube, does not work in the office of YouTube, but we can work wherever we want, only with a camera and microphone we can be a partner YouTube, and revenue from partner YouTube this is fairly promising, according to Google, Indonesian YouTuber called Agung Hapsah (which is he was a filmmaker), he can generate $1.200/month until $18.800/month, is great right ? but, if you want to successfully become a YouTube partner, then you should have a unique and interesting content, and do not forget the quality of video that you create must be satisfactory, because one of the biggest votes when we saw the video on YouTube is the video quality, and the other thing which is the best for many people is they have the freedom to upload anything what they want, even YouTube also have rules that must be obeyed by YouTube partners.

And then, “How YouTube works ?” the first resource in YouTube is YouTube partners, YouTube its self really need they partners to always upload some interesting videos, because they realize this thing, I think we should not be surprised if YouTube provides "pay" high to their partners, and the second resource in YouTube is their user/viewer in YouTube, and the third is company who put their advertisement product in YouTube (which is they still put their advertisement product in YouTube partners videos, of course by YouTube License), and the other thing, they (YouTube) give the report feature, if YouTube users discover video content that intersect with those of YouTube, the user can report the video, if the report was indeed proved to be contrary to the rules of YouTube, the video will immediately delete and even YouTube was able to suspend the channel of the video uploader.

Second, we need to know about “What is Television ?”, for myself, television is a media that has a lot of content, According to Television in Indonesia on Wikipedia, in Indonesia, the television into Indonesia in 1955, and the first television station in Indonesia is TVRI until 1989, and RCTI (Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia) debuted in the television world as the only private company and got permission from the state in 1990, and until now the world of television in Indonesia has been progressing very rapidly, there are still many new firms that enter into the world of television in Indonesia, even now I get confused to watch on television, and do not forget, television in Indonesia not only local broadcast, but the International was already there and we can watch (though we have to pay some amount to be able to watch channels International), and of course because they are set by regulations that exist within their country.

Then, “What is in Television ?”, in Indonesia, television have so many content, they have news, music, entertainment, tutorial, etc, In general, television programs are divided into two, the first is an event that is both direct (live), and the second is an event that is not directly (recorded), which allows us to always get the information real-time (live) and also we are presented with some of the recorded content to be discussed continuously, and these days, if we subscribe to some service cable tv, we are presented with repeat feature, so we can repeat events in tv with the event does not exceed the limitation period for the repetition that has been specified (1 week), in other words we can still watch the show / content if we fall behind / not had time to watch the show / contents, and with those set by the regulations, then they can not display the content as they are, they also must obey / obedient to the existing rules, for in Indonesia, recently a lot of rules in the world of television began to run and repair as well as tighten up, such as racial content, pornography, etc.

And then, “How the Television works ?”, television works for each contect from their creative management, they didn’t open a lot of people to be able to sign in to create content, but they do it themselves, that way they can better control the amount of show / content will be displayed, and they also control the show / contents are at what time to what time, they also determine the duration of each slide and the content they display, as well as YouTube, they may be the largest revenue through advertising, because it was, in each show / content to have a break and at every turn of show  / content may also be a break, the contents of which are ads.

            Then, “Why YouTube and Why Television ?”, in this case, we have to compare between these two media, YouTube and television is equally media for displaying an show or content, they both had the same shows and content, they both also have a source of income the same, namely through the ads in each show / content or on the sidelines breaks and between the turn-view or content, they both have a very good rule (although the rules are managed by the government or by the company itself), and they also have a feature rating or report (although there is little difference in ratings features existing rating in YouTube as well as in the television), but they both also have some disadvantage.

The first one we can see on YouTube, YouTube has a lot of YouTube partners are where they actually free up for YouTube partners to be able to upload video they have made, but because of this, a lot of shows / content in the YouTube becomes too free, why? according to a survey I did, many YouTube partners uploading videos they contain bad words to others God, there are many words that are not appropriate in the shows / content available on YouTube, remember, YouTube users not only the young or adults, lately a lot of small children (elementary school) are already viewing / content in the YouTube, and on the other hand, a lot of shows / foreign content on YouTube, it caused, many cultures that are outside the country to come in and packing into a displaying / content is very interesting, it is true if in their opinion (people overseas), things that they upload to YouTube is a natural thing, but the truth is, the shows / contents are unnatural thing in the culture of the people in Indonesia, especially considering the number of YouTube users who are in the age of 5 -17 years old, they can imitate foreign cultures while unsuitable to be in our daily lives in Indonesia.

Then, we can see on Television, in Indonesia itself, a lot of shows / content very unattractive and inappropriate for example, some of the shows / contents exemplifies the things that are not good for the kids and even young men, and some shows / content nature has been comforting, even becomes shows / content really is not entertaining at all, and sometimes they present some shows / content that invites debate and discord, sometimes they also serve some shows / content mean less good but they pack it in a good and interesting

But, despite all the disadvantages that exist in them, still, we can not remove all their advantages, YouTube and television, both have advantages that are equally unique, YouTube has advantages in their system, which is where they give full control to the user to be able to look for impressions / what content they want to see, when and where YouTube users want to view / watch / listen, and they also provide an opportunity for anyone (without exception) to be able to work and join the YouTube partners and of course , any work they produce, YouTube appreciates very well, YouTube provides "some" of "income" them to YouTube partners, on the other hand television also gave impressions that have been certified and indirectly already quite fit in with the existing culture in Indonesia, they are bound by government regulations, so inevitably they must continue to give a good impression and not contrary to the laws that are made, in other words show / content available on more television not so worrying, and of course, thanks to YouTube or television we can see the places and events that are near or in the other parts of the world, because they both provide information in the pack as possible that allows us to fill our free time

YouTube is better than television ? the answer is in you, both these media has its advantages and disadvantages, they had the same impressions / interesting content, they have a lot of impressions / content, they have rules that must be obeyed, and remain, both these media has the same function , which is to share information based visual and audio, they both strive to provide the best, trying to provide suitable for all ages and all human characters including existing cultures, so whether YouTube is better than television? it's up to you to choose the answer.
