Tips for watching movie videos on YouTube
1. Keep an eye on your data usage if you aren’t watching exclusively at home.
If you’re streaming YouTube videos on-the-go, be careful of how much data you’re using on your mobile device. Watching videos can take up quite a bit of data, so try to watch them while you’re at home or connected to a public Wi-Fi network to avoid going over your data limit or ending up with high data usage fees on your phone bill.
2. Watch out for illegal stream scams with spam links or dangerous viruses.
Some people will post videos with thumbnails and titles that may lead you to believe that you’ll be able to watch the full movie for free on YouTube. However, because of copyright issues, it is highly unlikely that you will actually be able to do this.
For example, if you were to do a search for something like “Looper full movie” you will see results that appear to be legitimate at first glance. The video title, length, and thumbnail look appropriate for the movie you want to watch.
However, once you click on videos like this, you will likely come across something along the lines of “click here to watch the full movie” and a link to lead you away from the YouTube website. Our advice to you is to NOT click these kinds of links. They could result in you getting a virus on your computer, being hacked, or someone could be trying to scam you.
3. Remember that everyone has their own opinion – and they all should be respected.
When watching movie reviews and other movie-related discussion videos, you’ll likely find that some people have different opinions than you on certain topics. Although it may be tempting to get into a discussion in the comment section or tell them why their opinion is incorrect, try to remember that not everyone is going to agree on everything. While most channels welcome and appreciate honest feedback, leaving hateful or overly negative comments isn’t very nice. Just click out of the video if you don’t enjoy watching it.
