In terms of distributed participatory design, YouTube and their content creators, or YouTubers, incorporate many of these elements into their website designs and planning. Video pages contain a 'share' function that allows for individuals to circulate a link to a video through various social media sites to increase exposure and possibly redirect people to other sites content creators use for circulating media and for receiving reactions. Additionally, feedback can appear in the form of comments and ratings. Each video has separate comment sections for users to leave input and ideas in. YouTube also uses a rating system of thumbs up/thumbs down to provide the content creators with a statistic on how well a video was received. Many popular YouTubers use social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+ to announce video updates and any information on external projects. Through managing social networks, website, and YouTube channel, the content creators can manage the distributed participation effectively and maintain their fanbases as well as update them on any changes in the design or content creation process.
Participative design will only be accepted if it has greater efficiency or satisfied/productive employees, because it will not be applied if it only helps employees, as it must be shown to help the whole company. However, this method is like other ethic methods as it allows employees into the design process. Employee influence can enhance skills, allow judgements and take decisions that matter. This method increases control by reducing frustrations which can help again multiple change problems. Mumford also states academics and trade unions encourage this approach. This is considered business re-engineering which in its day eventually started to show problems and high-turnovers, however due to new technology being introduced this approached is on the rise. <ref>Mumford, E.
