We all have experienced the following scenario. You are looking for a particular video let’s say a video about a certain type of dog. You have found your video and really enjoy watching it. After you’ve finished watching you want more and search again for the same type of dog. You will see the video you’ve just watched in the search results together with numerous videos you haven’t watched yet.
You click on one of the videos you think you haven’t watched and find out that this is the exact same video you’ve watched before. The only difference is another title and that’s it. The rest is all the same.
This is a bit of a downside on youtube, there are so many videos to choose from and still you run into duplicate videos on a regular basis. Well, I guess we have to live with it, because I think is impossible for youtube to remove all the duplicate videos. Just pay attention to the thumbnail. If the thumbnails are similar, changes are the video is a duplicate one.

The YouTube tutorials
You will know what I’m talking about in a few sentences from now. Sometimes you want something to know. For example how to fold an airplane from a piece of paper. Most of you will probably know how to achieve this difficult goal. But if you don’t you’ll end up searching on Google or YouTube to find out how it’s been done. Let just assume you’ll use YouTube. You’ll start your search on the YouTube site and in the results you’ll see tons of tutorial videos explaining you how to fold an airplane. It’s likely you’ll just click on the first result. Now you’ll see a video with some hands a desk and a piece of paper. A lame man’s voice tells you how to fold an airplane and folds on as he speaks. This is so boring to watch, it just makes such videos useless. In most cases it is better to use a search engine instead of YouTube. Most people just can’t make a good tutorial video. They just extend it too long and most of them are like watching paint dry.

The YouTube hype
Do you know one of those movies which are being watched a million times. Those weird or funny movies? I know a couple of those and I always wonder why they have gotten so popular.
It must be something like this.
Some guy uploads a funny video of someone who is falling from a staircase. A lot of people find it funny to see someone getting hurt.
After the guy uploaded the video he’s going to tell to his friend to watch the video both online and offline.
If the friends like the video they will tell their friends to watch it. It is like a snowball rolling from a hill covered in snow, it will get big at the end of the hill.
And after numerous views, the video will be on the homepage of YouTube.
Even more people watch the video and tell their friends. So that’s basically how a hype starts on YouTube. Of course there are different scenarios thinkable, but this is the most common one.
