However, if you&#8217;re trying to watch YouTube in South Korea, you may face some problems. For starters, if you&#8217;re not from South Korea, you&#8217;ll need to enter your IP address to get access. These geo-restrictions are usually implemented by streaming platforms. They do this to prevent foreign users from accessing content that&#8217;s only available to people within their geographic location.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 2019 Plan for Pursuing Key Tasks doesn&#8217;t specifically target Google. Instead, it targets foreign Internet service providers, including YouTube. The government wants to control access to content it considers illegal. They&#8217;re also concerned about the censorship of political speech, which is why the Moon government is trying to block access to social network services. Those voices aren&#8217;t heard in mainstream media, which is owned by the ruling Deobureo Minju Party. YouTube also allows South Koreans to express themselves through content other than politics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"South_Korean_artists_can_post_videos_to_YouTube\"><\/span>South Korean artists can post videos to YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>South Korean artists can post videos to YouTube if they meet the requirements of the site. This site allows South Korean artists to share their work worldwide. The website also offers free distribution options, while premium distribution costs a fee. In either case, South Korean artists keep 100% of their revenue. In addition, it&#8217;s imperative that the site be free and open to everyone, without paywalls. Here are some ways South Korean artists can post their videos on YouTube:<\/p>\n<p>Among the most popular South Korean artists, BTS, has had a string of viral hits. Their music videos have surpassed the one billion-view milestone twice. These videos are usually reserved for the biggest and most popular artists, and only a handful of other acts have achieved multiple billion-view milestones. In fact, BTS is the South Korean musical act with the most number of hit videos on YouTube. The number of views on BTS&#8217;s videos are increasing every day, and the number of views per video is soaring.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_impact_on_the_local_market\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s impact on the local market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a Times reporter ordered views from six vendors, the videos were posted on YouTube. They received less than 5% of their total views, but that was still a lot better than nothing. As a result, YouTube has developed processes to protect itself against these tactics. These tactics include automated traffic and pop-under videos on unsuspecting computers. In the process, the company has been able to improve its local advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Some politicians have tried to ride the YouTube tiger. Some have risen to the highest office in the world, while others have been eaten alive. When Gordon Brown made his call for reform on YouTube in April 2009, he was caught in the crossfire. In his video, the former Prime Minister wore a glazed smile, as if to reassure the public that his actions were genuine. As a result, many people believe that YouTube is replacing journalists.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_influence_on_the_alt-right_movement\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s influence on the alt-right movement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>New research has found that the internet has become a critical recruiting tool for far-right extremist groups. A recent study by Bellingcat looked at messages in far-right chat rooms and found that YouTube was cited most often as the reason that individuals &#8220;red-pilled&#8221; &#8211; converting to a far-right ideology &#8211; by watching far-right videos. Another study by VOX-Pol found that more than thirty percent of alt-right Twitter accounts linked to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>One such YouTube user, ContraPoints, has over one million subscribers. She satirizes far-right creators and videos about cryptocurrency trading. The videos feature far-right conspiracy theories and inflammatory language. Her channel is far-right in its message, yet its subscribers are relatively small in comparison to the far-right creators. Other YouTube videos feature far-right creators whose views are often criticized as being &#8220;extremist,&#8221; but which do not use dog whistles.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"220\" width=\"394\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wHw7Aa7lhhw\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is YouTube Available in South Korea?
