Youtube is an excellent example of participatory culture, but as many people have already mentioned, the scope of the topic is enormous. Try and narrow down your discussion to just one facet. You will find the content that you find more focused and much less intimidating.

I feel like the angle of "Youtube celebrities" (users making Youtube a career) and "average Joe's" (using Youtube strictly for entertainment and interaction purposes) is a striking one. You could continue your motivation discussion whilst contrasting and comparing the two. But of course that is just a suggestion. If you do decide to take on this angle, consider using this source:

Schepp, B., & Shepp, D. (2009). How to make money with YouTube: Earn cash, market yourself, reach your customers, and grow your business on the world’s most popular video-sharing site.

The method of your study needs to be explained in more specific terms. I recognize that this draft is very preliminary, but I think it's worth mentioning. Clarify exactly what you will be looking at and how you will be logging the outcome. Perhaps an interview with an active Youtuber would provide you with more tangible explicit detail.
