YouTube launched in 2005 and founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. It was initially created as a simple way to upload videos. Google bought it for 1.65 billion. Went from being a simple video uploading platform to a place of work for thousands of people. The highest paid youtuber makes $24 million. It has 2 billion monthly users and over 1 billion videos watched per day. It is the 2nd most visited website in the world. 37% of all mobile internet belongs to YouTube. It has 2,000+ employees. 51% of people over 75 watch videos on YouTube. Most channels get back %0.5 per 1000 video views. YouTube pays $18 per 1,000 ad views on average. Gangnam Style was so popular that it broke the YouTube video counter. 62% of businesses use YouTube.
YouTube changed the game for sure. It brought a lot of lessons, comedy, and more to the world. Before YouTube, there was nothing like it. No place to help with instructions or clips to watch or influencers to be seen and heard. It truly is one of the greatest sources of all time. It was so hot in the early 2010’s and it still is today. It is a valued source a lot of people can go to for almost anything.
