Youtube, broadcast yourself is establish to allow uploading, viewing and sharing of videos by many individuals. It is a site where people can visit for entertainment and information. Anyone can create an account for free in youtube, and this allows them to upload video,post comments and rating.The range of video available in youtube, varies from drama series, real-life video, speeches, cartoons, animation and many more.
Youtube has done certain measures to stop inappropriate video from spreading in the Internet. Viewers of inappropriate video can flag the video as inappropriate and the youtube committee will suspense the account of the person who post the inappropriate video, removing all video which were posted by the person. Whether, the inappropriate video is being flagged as inappropriate, it depends on the viewers whether to flag it a not.
However, this is not a fool-proof measures to stop unethical video from spreading in the Internet. As the saying goes, 'prevention is better than cure'. The youtube committee should review all video being uploaded before approving to post the video over the Internet. In this way, unethical video will have no chance to reach to any viewers. With this, the unethical video cannot be downloaded by anyone when it has no chance to reach the viewers.
Apart from issue of unethical video post on youtube for entertainment, there is this issue of youtube is established for the purpose of making money. Making money from the Internet is very common. Advertisers want to post advertisement on youtube proof that youtube is a success website. Advertisers won't just pay to post advertisement on any website. Youtube was a success thus it is reasonable to earn money from it when the youtube committee has put in effort to make the website a success. Thus, earning money from their own effort is absolutely a reasonable things.
Youtube has taken measures to stop unethical video from spreading over the Internet. It is just that the measures taken was not a perfect one. Thus it is unfair to say that youtube has no ethics. On the other hand, it is absolutely reasonable for youtube to earn money from their own efforts.

I think YouTube has certain ethics but it might not be as ethical as well. cos I have seen silly videos on YouTube and they're a really bad influence on others. :)
