YouDanger: Get YouTube To Ban Stunt Videos
The Issue
You’re watching a stunt video on YouTube about a grinning boy with a basketball on fire. He’s trying to make a three pointer shot, but before that happens, his clothes catch on fire from the ball and he runs away yelling. You laugh and think, “Hey! That was hilarious!” But do you ever stop to think about what actually happened to the boy on fire? If he is okay? If that fire and pain were real? Many stunt videos that go wrong seem like planned comedy to us, and after watching it we don’t give them and the people in the video a second thought. But those videos are real, and so is the danger and damage. No one plans for their clothes to catch on fire. But it happens, just like it happened to real 15-year-old. The boy ended up being hospitalized, with many severe burns. Stunt videos like that cause problem in many ways to many teens and its influence spreads wherever the is YouTube. YouTube should ban stunt videos that influence teens and kids to do dangerous and seemingly mindless activities. 180,000 people die because of accidents each year in America, and 14,000 of the are kids, all under 19 years of age. That means that a kid dies every three minutes because of reckless stunts and behavior. Stunts are not only hazardous to teens all around the world, but they can also be fatal. YouTube is used by billions of viewers all around the world, and stunt video becomes more and more popular every day. With so many people on the website, and with most of them being kids, how could the influence of stunt videos not spread? YouTube’s stunt influence and idea spreads with it are popularity and viewing, and today YouTube is one of the world’s most popular and viewed website or app for kids to watch and use. Research shows that kids are more likely to choose YouTube than TV, and it has become popular for even little kids. And even though there are filtered sections for younger kids to use instead of the real thing, kids still prefer the original than the new. But is it really YouTube’s fault that kids follow and try to repeat these videos? Critics might ask. Isn't it the kids’ guardian's’ responsibility to keep them safe? But if YouTube stopped showing stunt videos, fewer kids would know and learn about stunts. If kids don’t learn and see stunts, they won’t be encouraged to try them out, guardian or no guardian. People laugh at dangerous situations that happen in disastrous status without thinking about if people were harmed. Accidents aren’t planned, and we know that in the back of our minds, but we choose to ignore it. But not anymore. YouTube’s stunt videos encourage and influence kids and teens alike to do dangerous and possibly fatal stunts without them think about it. Thousands of innocent kids lose their lives to hazardous stunts they see on YouTube. Sign now to save kids from the danger of YouTube stunt videos.
