By: Blayde Biacan\r\nFreelancer<\/pre>\nDo you want to become a hero? A YouTube hero, that is. The YouTube hero program is something YouTube has come up with to encourage users to make it a better place and to make the entertainment process unhindered. When I say encourage, I mean there will even be rewards to encourage users to be a part of the YouTube hero program.<\/p>\n
The actions that help users earn points towards rewards for these incentives also help to improve YouTube overall. At times when you click the \u201cclosed captioning\u201d button, it doesn\u2019t align with what is said in the video. You are now able to edit the subtitles in videos and doing so will earn you a point towards rewards. If you\u2019re watching a video and hear excess swearing, which takes away from a video, giving it a flag warns YouTube that the video may violating YouTube\u2019s new guidelines which were recently set on Sept. 1. If you wish to reap the most points, answering questions on the YouTube help forum will not only help you, but help others with their inquires as well. However, answering inquiries will only get you points if you have the best answer.<\/p>\n
These everyday actions can help get you into the YouTube hero community, get closer to the YouTube staff, allow you to to get special sneak previews and even test new products that come out before release.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re interested in becoming a YouTube hero, all you need to do is search \u201cYouTube heroes\u201d on Google and click on the top link to sign up. All you need to provide is an email to sign up and you\u2019re on your way to being a hero. Like any hero, \u201cwith great power, comes great responsibility.\u201d YouTube asks for these actions to be used appropriately in order to make it a better place.<\/p>\n
