After attempting to get in touch with YouTube themselves and actual popular YouTube and not really getting response, I decided that the best way to try and get the information I wanted was to create a survey and post it around my Facebook, twitter and comment on YouTube videos so YouTube users could complete the survey them selves. In total I got 72 participants to fill in my survey, I talk more about this in my next post.
