I find Youtube both user-friendly and fun to use, both for uploading my own videos and for browsing and looking at music or comedy videos. What's great about Youtube (as opposed to Flickr) is that anyone can go on the site and look at or listen to the videos. One only has to open a Youtube account in order to upload videos, but not to view them.
Flickr, on the other hand, has the disadvantage of limiting access right off the bat. I did set up a Flickr account just now but deleted it once I discovered the need to "invite" my contacts to a list, in order for them to look at my photos. That, and the long list of options that required selecting or de-selecting in the privacy settings put me off fairly quickly.
I think if a person wanted a way to organize hundreds or thousands of photos then Flickr might be a useful tool. For myself, regular e-mail or Facebook are the best options for photo sharing at the moment.

Anyone can look at your photos on Flickr if you make them public. Public photos can even be found in a Google search. People on your contact list can view your recent uploads in a timely manner. The contact list only restricts who can comment on your pictures. If I want friends to look at my Flickr photos I just send them an email.
