Media Reflection Entry 1: Internet Socialization Thorey .

This entry is a reflection on ads and the socialization of the media on this YouTube video: Story Time: Club Fight We Met With AaliyahJay. First of all, I love watching story time video's on YouTube I find them really interesting on how people tell their stories on a certain events that happened in their lives. These story time video's seem to be the norm that many youtubers  have and in a way it is socialization from each one. You get to learn from many of their stories and understand that you shouldn't be doing what they might have made a mistake on.  However, I clicked on this video and I was surprised because there were two people introducing themselves and only rarely two people tell their stories. Also, going through the video I started to notice that they have heavy New York Accents.

Once getting into their story in the video these two friends basically talk about the time when their ex-best friend got into a fight with both of them;only because the ex- best friend lost their phone. Of course I was drawn in but all of a sudden there was an ad I was so upset because on many YouTube video’s you can skip ads but of course because I  was actually liking it I had to have the ad that can't skip. So I literally sat through the entire ad that was talking about how great the Ford dealership was. Later on, however, once the ad was done and gotten back to the video another pops up on the screen on the bottom. So, the entire time i’m just exiting out ads. I hate the fact there is literally advertisement everywhere I turn especially on YouTube. Viewers are forced to watch it and it could be very distracting for everyone.  

It sucks that each time I get comfortable and watch a video any where on the internet I really like I get bombarded with silly little ads that I have no choice at all but to sit through it.  I could also understand that YouTube on and on any other website uses  advertisement to gain money from whatever sponsor that they could gain, but not every six minutes a ad has to be shown. I feel that advertisement defiantly gets pushed on a lot of viewers and we have know choice sometimes ,and I feel that it won’t stop anytime soon. I also feel as though ads could also socialization because it is in the norm of our culture to have so many ads in so many places on websites, billboards, and even in stores . Once everyone see's a ad on YouTube any other website its only normal to wait or even wait for a skip ad button. However, I do recommend watching story time videos because they could be really funny and engaging just like this video.
