YouTube as a Value Transmission Platform

YouTube is a platform with a massive capacity for value transmission. This value can be divided into two categories: intrinsic value and production value. Intrinsic value of a video can be educational, entertaining, or inspiring, regardless of its production quality. On the other hand, production value refers to the video's high quality and professionally produced elements. While videos with high production value tend to leave a lasting impact, they require significant time, effort, and resources. Conversely, videos with low production value but high intrinsic value can still attract an audience due to their raw and authentic feel.
