In a moral sense? No
Quality-wise, my experience has been more bad than good.
I'm fine with people posting anything and everything on it, I just don't want to see most of it. Usually, I will only follow a link that's been posted by someone else, and then usually only if enough people have commented about it to make it sound worthy. (I generally also do this for posted links to websites.)
The problem I have with You Tube, is I haven't discovered how to easily skim the content as I would a blog or other textual document. Sure there are plenty of long winded boring blogs out there, but the nature of the written word makes it east for me to skim through the paragraphs to pull out any of the content I might enjoy. I can't seem to do that with video - or haven't figured out an analogous behavior yet.
I just wish people would describe links better so I knew whether I really wanted to click on it - "This is funny" doesn't work anymore. But that's my issue and no body else's - clearly people are cracking themselves up over these things and some is even making it to network TV. Honestly though, I confess this delivery method is much better than getting a "funny" video in an email.
I find still images easier to digest, rarely use the video feature of my camera, and when I do it's usually for one viewing before I delete it. Maybe if YouTube had porn I'd be more interested.
