The main reviewer is an idiot
Reviewing this site is pretty dumb, the material on this site is whatever the other users wish to put up with the exception of nudity. There's nothing to stop users from using profanity but there is a profanity guard available in video options so that isn't a problem. There's pedophiles on the site so don't let your children run a blog.

a bit of EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's hard to know wether it's inapropriet or not for sertane ages sense there are so many different types of videos. If your child is under the age of 17 keep an eye on what they see, do and watch on youtube. because in youtube theres a bit of everything : bad language, fighting, drinking, smoking EVERYTHING!

No.
Youtube should be a restricted site for anyone under the age of 18! They have users that swear a lot, people drinking and smoking, access to brainwashing documentaries like Zeitgeist: The greatest story ever sold, many users are atheist, and there are so many porn videos, anyone could view if they fake their age. Teenagers these days are so out of control.

Can't lump YouTube into One Category
It's too difficult to lump YouTube into one category. It is a video tool, with lots of choices. Sure, there are things my kids aren't allowed to watch there, but there are plenty of videos that have merit. I would not want to outright censor their usage, but be mindful about what they are choosing.

It has some crude videos about violence and sex, but some videos are age appropriate for 9 year olds as long as they use the site responsibly and know what;s appropriate for them to watch.

Use with caution, discretion, and in your presence! I block it on my kids computers.
As a mother Youtube is blocked in our home except on MY computer. If my 11 year old wishes to view it she must come to me. There are many great things on Youtube but it isn't very well moderated and nearly anything goes but full out hard core porn and nudity. But the comments are just about a total free for all. So, if you don't care how many times your kids see the F word, then by all means let them go. If you don't care if they hear it, see videos that are offensive to many adults, violence, hatred etc. then let them go. While they will find the warm fuzzy cute videos (we love them) they will also find some horrific things....I have many times! and why would I allow my kids to watch it without my knowledge....NOT! Must weigh the entertainment factor with the negative... they can be entertained elsewhere without the trash. However as I said, I'm there often.....but I know what i'm looking for and don't go looking randomly.

There no way to restrict what you kids a watching
Although there are appropriate video's to watch for kids. There are highly inappropriate video's as well and if your kids aren't supervised who knows what they're watching.

The melting pot
YouTube is a great site for viewing, but with a 12-year old, I won't let him browse it without me sitting right next to him. My biggest concern is the swears that a significant number of the comments include. As far as the videos itself go, the quality varies a lot, but there are some absolute gems on YouTube (especially the singer/songwriters).

For No one.
This website is THE most dangerous website for kids. Most videos give kids ALL the wrong messages. I give this advice too ALL parents DO NOT allow you're children on this website, and you yourself limit the using of this website.

A Mature Community
Not at all suitable for younger kids. People can post virtually anything on YouTube, even illegal, although there are measures taken to remove such content. Some videos can be educational. By searching for one particular video, you can come up with incredibly horrible videos. Filled with cursing, and/or inappropriate content. You can find good videos, and it can be entertaining, but don't rely on moderators to take away all the bad content, with a community this big, unless every submission is moderated, there's a whole lot of bad things that can get through.

just ask your parents to look at it first and if parents are reading this then look at it!
well it can get very dirty with language,sometimes violence,and other things. i dont think kids under 12 should use it because people on youtube like "shanedawsonTV" makes very dirty videos sometimes and "forrestfire101" can get pretty dirty. if you look at those channels you will see what i mean.

Very good website
I love this website! This is like one of the best websites! Plus, it's world wide. You can chat with other people from around the world. But if kids become a member of this website, then there parents need to become members to so they can be friends with there kids.

Unsupervised, this site is not for anyone under 18. Supervised, this site is iffy for ages 14+.
Unsupervised, this site is not suitable for anyone under 18. I have run into R-rated videos (from either swearing or drug content), and many PG-13 videos that push the content. Supersived, this site would be iffy for ages 14+.

YouTube is basically a mix of everything you can think of. Highlights encourages creativity can find great, funny videos Non-highlights Bad content - usually cussing, which is very offensive to some people Cyber-bullying Porn... if you have an account. Also, a growing trend for weird people is "screamers," which are seemingly pointless videos, usually about 15 seconds long, but at the last second, a scary picture or startling sound pops up. In the end, it's all about the maturity of the person logging on. Sadly, the iffy videos are usually flaunted and the good videos are tucked away deep into the bowels of YouTube.

Brilliant, Just Be Careful
It is a brilliant site and it's free and legal. Almost anything can be found there - which is good and bad. But videos can be flagged so people under 18 can't view them. You can lie about your age but it's likely that the people it would offend, mainly under 10's won't understand it and leave it. If you don't want to end up on youtube don't let your friends video you. Simple :) Language can be a problem and sex references. So basically it is great for over 13's you understand that if they don't like it thet can simply switch the video off and understand how to flag videos that offend them. You don't usually get violent videos or sex one unless yo type that in specifically. So as long as your carefull youtube is a great site for over 13's and under but only if their parents know what they're watching and if it's bad thay can simply say don't use youtube. :)

Good for all kids ages 10+
YouTube is a very popular website that many people use and much of it is appropriate but unfourtunately, alot of it is not, because it is user generated alot of them have bad language, some with sexual content and not all of them send out a positive message,but on the positive side there are many many appropriate videos of pets, music, and many more age appropriate stuff so I think it's okay for kids ages 10+

PARENTS THIS IS FOR YOU
Youtube is a good site if your child is appropriat and mature. If you do not have mature kids or kids who look at innapropriat stuff for there age then no. All in all it can be good or bad not that educational but if you search up a video chances are you'll find it. EX I was doing a extinct animal project for class and I searched it up on youtube and found facts about it.
