Im Sorry its so late!

The useage of video sites has had many positive effects for people in the world. By utilizing sites such as youtube, break.com and various other sites people can now broadcast themselves to the world and use it to their benefit. People with disabilities can use the internet to show just how truly normal they are. And the saddest thing is that we watch it. Although we dont laugh at them in a malicious way, we still laugh and that means that in some way, they have made their point. This serves as a healthy outlet for all people with conditions that they may get made fun of for. Break.com, although a site predominantly for men is also a great way for people to get themselves noticed. On break people get paid to submit there videos, and they are oftenly videos of people expressing themselves in ways not normal to us.

Break.com pays money for users to submit there videos and that helps to encourage people to submit videos because everyone wants to make some money. The content of the videos is usually things that are gross, or involve partially naked women or people getting hurt, but millions of people still sit at their computers for hours watching these videos (i myself am guilty). People can sit and watch these videos, laugh and send them to friends which only makes break.com's user field grow. People watch these videos to see what other people around the world are doing, and then they try to do something bigger and better. They also show us things that other people normally dont show. For example, they have short clips of a TV show that airs in England, where they play jokes on people. That cant be shown in america due to the harsh censorship rules. The site gives us the ability to see whats going on in the world outside of our backyard.

Although many people would argue against the stand that im taking, people only see things with a certain view. You can judge a book by its cover, and you can judge a phenominon by the age and gender of people. Break.com is a site that is beneficial to all, its viewers, its users and its staff. It helps many people do things they would never imagine doing.

Break.com is a video website, but seems to have a different purpose than the popular youtube, as well as a different type of audience. While youtube consists of various types of videos, break.com has videos that are supposed to be “funny.” The videos are mostly violent and full of practical jokes. The videos attract mostly men since it is geared toward their sense of humor and interests, such as falling off a bike and breaking many bones. This is different than youtube, which has a bigger variety of audiences that range from young kids to adults.

i think break.com is a very interesting site even if it is almost like youtube.com. I don't like the fact that its geared more towards men then woman but still its a site that i probably will use in the future. I think its cool that users get paid to submit a video. I think its a good idea to get more users to join. I think these video websites are amazing. It helps you to learn about people from all over the world, constantly learning new things, being entertaining 24/7, etc. It also helps get the messaged across because there are millions of users.

OMG!!! Break.com is way better than YOUTUBE. This website, although aimed toward the male audience, has funnier, disgusting, and crueler videos than Youtube. Break is a newer version of Youtube in the way that it has more features and that it came out after Youtube. You get to watch videos of almost anything from your home with the click of a button 24 hours a day. In just moments you will be rolling on the floor laughing or disgusted to death. This website will continue to grow and it probably would do better if it became a website generated for all audiences.
