If I want to watch a particular video, I’ll go to YouTube. Undoubtedly, it is the biggest and the most popular video platform that has shaped the way we consume online content. Having about 2.1 billion users worldwide, it is a daily source of entertainment for many users and a source of income for content creators. However, while watching videos on it, have you ever thought about its journey, transformations, etc.? If not, then think about it now and read our article that speaks everything you need to know about YouTube. Enjoy reading!

“MeattheZoo”

Though the rst-ever video was uploaded on YouTube in April 2005, “Me at the Zero”, its journey began three months back with Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. They wished to create a simple landscape for users that can reach up to the global level, as before YouTube there was no viable video-sharing platform. One of its three founders, Jawed Karim created a video of 18 seconds, shot in the San Diego Zoo, named “Me at the Zoo” and received 240 million views. Five months later, an advertisement from Nike was uploaded which depicted Brazilian soccer star Ronaldinho collecting his Golden Boots. The advertisement resulted in the potential growth of both YouTube and Nike.
