A movie with a political agenda masquerading as a documentary. I was hoping for an interesting dive into the details of YouTube's history, along with thoughtful commentary about the problems it created. This was not it.

Unfocused, but important, 'The YouTube Effect' can't get its arms around a vast subject other than to demonize it. Documentarian Alex Winter briefly touches on issues that need a longer look, while not breaking a lot of new ground. The connection of Google and YouTube is barely broached however in a way that it needs to be. It's fine and interesting and fear stoked. Where are we going? Who knows. Final Score: 5.3/10

I am an avid YouTube viewer - it's

I am an avid YouTube viewer - it's on every evening while I'm cooking and working in the kitchen. I appreciate the short-term commitment to ten-minute videos that don't require my full attention while doing other things. My interest in YouTube, however, doesn't extend my usage of it. So this documentary did nothing for me. Those more interested in the origins and growth of this phenomenon will likely be more enthralled. For me, it was a combination of things I didn't care about and things I already knew. It talks about the dangers of "fake news" and false representation as if we didn't know it already existed. And, I have to be brutally honest, I am so over-saturated with Trump right now that the several scenes detailing his misconduct and insurrectionism just turned my stomach. I know that's not the fault of the filmmakers - it's just what happens when you watch certain movies at certain times in your life. In the end, I don't feel like I learned anything new or anything significantly important. And that's the one thing I count on when watching documentaries such as this. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook)
