Abstract
People
will be experiencing various types of engagement with videos and one of the
most popular medium or website is YouTube which is also known as a public
video-sharing website. This article investigates how by manipulating physical
and interpretive access to the videos influence the participants to develop and
maintain their social network. The analysis tells how difference in social
relationship is reflected by circulating and sharing videos among teenagers.
There are two categories of “publicness” in video-sharing which are “publicly
private” and privately “public”
Introduction
As
we are concern, as a platform of video sharing, YouTube also offers personal
pages for users called as “channel page”. The ultimate goal of this article is
how the teenagers and young adults project their identities by using YouTube’s
videos sharing and commenting characteristics which correlate with meticulous
social groups. The researcher began the research by demonstrating theoretical
blueprint that shows the relationship between media exchange and the process
whereby online and in public is negotiated by social network. The second
argument is how technical features and social device are being manipulated by
youngsters and young adults in order to attain different level of visibility in
their video sharing activities.
Literature
review
The
theory of social network is hard to justify. According to Welman (1996), a
social network can be described as relations among people who deem other
network members to be crucial or applicable to them in certain way. In keeping
with this theory, (ellison et al. 2007; Gross& Acquisti ) 2005, they
claimed it is accessible to examine how different social network are developed,
maintained and discussed via media by studying social and technical choice that
candidates make on social network sites. It is probable to know essential
social dynamics among the people who use the media by scrutinizing a media
circuit. For instance, on YouTube,
various types of videos will a person may create and share with one set of
allies, whilst making and sharing the other category of videos with different
set of friends. This article also investigates the public and private both in
terms of what is physically or emblematically more or less visible and what
counts as crucial or socially related for community network members. To add it
up, exploring the fractalization of video-sharing practices consequently grants
a valuable lens through which to analysis how social relations transfer and
sub-divide contained by the context of unseen media sharing.
Method
All
the data are based on semi-structured interviews, field notes on observation
and conducted several times a week analyzes of posted videos and comments and
examination of subscription. For the interviews, there are 54 participants has
been selected and the interviews has been carried out in few different ways.
There are 29 candidates has been conducted by phone, 15 candidates via instant
messaging and 10 candidates by face to face. The questions are included such as
“Are you a YouTuber?” why and why not? “Do you know all the people who have
posted comments to your videos? And next is, watching the main YouTube page is
one of the activities which were collected during the field note observations.
Results
Here
are the results based on the interviews and observation that have been
conducted with the candidates. In the interviews, one of the participants say
that she posted a video comment on the videos that her nephew has created and
upload it on YouTube. This is one way for her to keep the family social network
since she rarely got a chance to meet them in real life as she lives so miles
away. By posting the comments, its somehow complete the media circuit which
means the boys will read it and they know that their aunt is participated from
far and supported with what they have done.
Another
candidates also claimed that they share experiences like posting the videos
actually are broaden their relationship with other people. Due to that, they
become friends and meet up and finally they produce another video project and
upload in on YouTube. This evident shows that by posting video sharing in
YouTube will develop the social network within other people.
Next,
the other participants reported to those who watched their videos and leave
comments may prompt the video maker to counter the poster of the comment.
However, on YouTube some participants televise wide information about their
identity. This is what we called as public video maker.
Then,
according to the other interviewees that have been selected Anjin, he uses his
YouTube’s name commercial for his videos. As for Anjin, although there are
numbers of viewers who watched the YouTube but most of them do not have an
account so by making the videos publicly makes it is more convenience to other
people. Compared
to other participants, who are better with privately public when posting their
videos on YouTube said that they make it private because they don’t want to
reveal their identity and keep them safe. One of the participant said he
maintained a mysterious persona in a guy Fawkes Mask and vigilante character
named “V”. For him, he does not permit posted comments that recommend that
wishes to bring down a government. He also added up that he does not subscribe
to other’s channels or initiate friend request.
Discussion
Many
participants are suggested in this research paper. Profile linkages are not the
main way of supporting a social network via Youtube. Posting videos that
fellows and relatives could see and respond to is an ordinary practice among
the participants. People are free to articulate their feelings of attraction
for the video or the video makers by posting comments on it. The interviewees
reported closer social correlation will be the stimulated by the intelligent
commentary on a video. According to Nissenbaum (2004) argues that some privacy
is needed for individuals to self-actualize. For advancing the self and
protecting the honor of affiliation, privacy is required.
The
question also comes up likes “why do people involve in “publicly private”
behavior? There are two main reasons that have been studied in this article
paper. First thing first, there are weaknesses in technical option for defining
media circuit as implemented at the time of the research. Many interviewees
want to share media with meticulous buddies and family members but did not
fancy using friends-only viewing option because it required watchers to have an
account. Some candidates encountered difficulty of sharing in public by using
limited tagging. In addition, viewing counts and comments systems as a way of
gauging viewership is also used by the participants in order to resolve their
videos were not “super public” if they did not gather much response.
This
article exposes that what comprises how “public” a media circuit is differ,
depending on participants’ display of information about themselves and the
content that they produce. Dissimilar communications dynamic reflects
dissimilar media circuit types. The study has shown that the public and private
fractalize in multifaceted way in video making and sharing on YouTube. It also
holds what the previous scholar that claims that watching media is not a merely
a inactive exercise but rather that film or video viewing in general occupies
active understandings that shape response of media messages (Friedman, 2006).
On YouTube, the center constituent of participant on the site is frequent
dealings between video makers and viewers.
Conclusion
This
article shows how technical and symbolic device are used by YouTube
participants to attempt to define different social network. In keeping with
this focus, a new category of different nuanced behavior types have been
proposed. To add it more, design implication also has been introduced in this
article. It is very essential to be careful to fractalization touch points
where the bigger quantity of publicity or privacy may be needed because there
areso many social groups and professional organization added their website with
social network site constituents.

here is the reflection of the article :)
Based on this article journal, we found out that different people give different views on social networking. one of the mediums which is famous for time being is YouTube. YouTube is the channel for people to upload and posting any videos that they want either for publicly private or privately public. In addition, we know that the social networking site is invented to make social relationship with other people. Somehow we can make friends with stranger through this advanced technology. However, as educated people we might know the pros and cons of it. by this it means we have to ensures what we do is right and do not give harmful to other people. Thus, from this article we can say that some people like to make their videos in publicly private and some others like to make in privately public. All of these give various of reasons. from our point of views, we think that, making videos in publicly private would be better because from that we can know what other people views about the videos. Actually, it can build our self-consciousness. the viewers are free to drop and leave any comments either in positive or negative way. If the comments are negative, we will take it as a platform for us to improve it.
THANK YOU :)
