This may sound like a no brain question to many.. But here goes.

What advantage is there to signing up for membership on youtube ?
Do you get better quality video ?
I Haven't a video camera so will not upload video is that the only advantage ?

Signing up for account just means you can upload videos, there is other little stuff like commenting on other videos & having favorites etc but I'm pretty sure theres no change in video quality

Right, you can comment and rate videos if you sign up. That is the only reason I did at this time as I have no videos to share right now, but love to rate and sometimes comment. I watch a lot of Music and Guitar Player videos and when someone is really talented I like to let them know.

Another good reason to get a membership is you are able to view more videos.. Some videos you have to be 18+ to view.. A good example is I wanted to view some videos on piercing and you have to verify you are 18+ via your membership because they feel that piercing videos are inappropriate to some users.
