Question 3 • Social Media: Our Connected World (IS)
Summer is researching the Crusades. She finds a video by PBS on YouTube, which she thinks is probably a good source. However, when she looks at the comments, she finds that there are a lot of statements criticizing the video. She is a bit confused because she knows that PBS produces a lot of educational content. What is the BEST advice for Summer?
Answer
A
If the comments are negative, she should not use it.
B
She should instead use videos from the accounts who posted the negative comments.
C
Comments are never a good way to evaluate the quality of a YouTube video.
D
Since she knows it is a reliable source and the comments are obviously biased, she should ignore them.
