YouTube seems to me (in comparison with Facebook) to be more focused on the author's creativity. YouTube gives the authors, who can be anyone with a YouTube account, freedom to post (almost) anything that they would like to share with the world. YouTube seems to be about what YOU (YOUtube) as an individual want to share with the world. The freedom in this is that, what you share with the world doesn't even have to be about you. It can be about anything in your life, your sister, your high school, a concert you went too, a class project homemade movie, UFO sightings, Christmas with your family, or even that bum you saw pass out on the street. Whatever an author decides that he would like to share with the world, is what YouTube is about.
The "Tube" seems to be referring to 'watching' part of it (how some ppl call a television a "tube") this end is the receiving end I think. On YouTube, within your account, you can personalize the types of videos you like to watch and search.
