YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in
San Bruno, California. The service was created by three former PayPal
employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—in February 2005. Google
bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as
one of Google's subsidiaries.
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to
favorites, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It offers a
wide variety of user-generated and corporate media videos. Available content
includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films,
audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, and other content such as video
blogging, short original videos, and educational videos. Most of the content on
YouTube is uploaded by individuals, but media corporations including CBS, the
BBC, Vevo, and Hulu offer some of their material via YouTube as part of the
YouTube partnership program. Unregistered users can only watch videos on the
site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of
videos and add comments to videos. Videos deemed potentially inappropriate are
available only to registered users affirming themselves to be at least 18 years
old.
YouTube earns advertising revenue from Google AdSense, a
program which targets ads according to site content and audience. The vast
majority of its videos are free to view, but there are exceptions, including
subscription-based premium channels, film rentals, as well as YouTube Premium,
a subscription service offering ad-free access to the website and access to
exclusive content made in partnership with existing users.
As of February 2017, there are more than 400 hours of
content uploaded to YouTube each minute, and one billion hours of content are
watched on YouTube every day. As of August 2017, the website is ranked as the
second-most popular site in the world by Alexa Internet, a web traffic analysis
company.
Madam, I would like to add on another important information to your post on YouTube. the first you tube video uploaded was "Me AT the ZOO" in April 23, 2005. This video shows the co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo.
