YouTube success
YouTube came out in February 2005.when three former employees of the Paypal company – Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim – came together and created it after they experienced difficulties sharing a couple of videos with each other after attending a party.
The domain was activated on February 14, 2005 and almost a month later, on April 23, the first clip was uploaded to the platform called “Me at the Zoo”. It was a matter of time before everyone started uploading content and sharing the links through other social networks like MySpace.
One of the big companies that saw the potential of YouTube was the Nike brand, which uploaded an advertisement starring Ronaldinho, which made other big companies look at YouTube and feel attracted.
Such was the great reception of Internet users on YouTube that by December 2005 the platform went from 50 million visits a day to 250 million views after a channel uploaded the music clip Lazy Sunday, originally broadcast on Saturday Night Live.
Since it was launched, YouTube was a site that came to make a revolution not only on the internet, but also in the way users watch content. Example of this the recognition that Time magazine gave him in November 2006 when he was named the “Invention of the Year”.
Having become the best means of dissemination, enjoying such popularity has also put its owners in trouble, such as when hosting school fights or where there is bullying, clips related to terrorism, drug trafficking or other topics considered sensitive due to their intimate content or to be shown. crimes like murders and more.
For the United States, one of the more sensitive issues It is that of school shootings, which is why YouTube has been in the eye of the hurricane more than once for hosting content filmed by the attackers, as was the case with the Virginia Tech massacre, when Cho Seung-Hui, the attacker, previously uploaded a speech to the facts.
More recently, following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns have also been raised about how the platform enables the content monetization which can be misleading and risky for the population.
Although not everything is bad, because through this platform many people have been able to be recognized for their talent, as was the case with Susan Boyle, who participated in the Britain’s Got Talent program whose excerpt uploaded to YouTube made the woman become a a complete stranger to one of the most viralized, famous and acclaimed people on the internet.
