You tube videos are filled with more craps than useful ones.

If one thinks to search for an useful video that is important to him/her from youtube, one will get more craps and junk videos and end up searching a lot and still not finding the right one useful. It is a severe issue in You tube, which I think should be solved quickly. There should be some grades on the video whether it suits the search or not. These happens because you tube can be used by anyone and more craps are uploaded than by useful ones. For example, yesterday I was searching for a Semiconductor chip video on youtube and I ended up to a video which depicts some marriage ceremony!!! I was amazed and also unhappy as I typed the name of the IC and then it ended up there!!! I think you tube needs to improve, not for business, as it already is earning a lot, but for user help and care of users.

I totally agree with you .. It has become a habit to post anything and everything they wish to put it on the site ..YouTube is dynamic and its working to find a remedy:)

Yeah, it is irritating to not find a video you're looking for, also, people spam unrelated keywords in their summaries too.

Yes, I do think that Youtube really needs on working at making their site more useful and friendly to other people. I just don't like being directed to a completely different videos from the ones that I am searching for because the writer wrote a tag that matched with me. But I still like to use Youtube anyways even with their problems.

I definitely agree with you. That is the major problem of Youtube.I'm burn out seeing this kind of stuff,They should solve it. Sometimes its really getting in my nerve. There are several useless videos there, The major hit vlogs contributes to junks too. Many people make nonsense videos of themselves just to be seen or recognize. This people wanted to gain attention. But hat worries me is that children might have seen this kind of videos and most of them will likely fail to distinguish what is useful and what is nonsense.

Youtube bases its search results off of keywords that you search. Unrelated material is bound to come up depending on unrelated tags or keywords in the video titles. But in order to avoid this problem I would advise that you use a different video sharing site when searching for "Semiconductor chip" or other science related terms. There are video sharing sites specifically geared toward scientific material. I would recommend sciencestage or dna tube. If you're looking for educational material but not necessarily scientific, definitely go for teacher tube. I hope this helps with your future searches and prevents youtube frustrations!
