Youtube is an online video-sharing platform owned by Google. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, three former PayPal employees, established it in February 2005. The website allows users to upload, view, rate, share, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It provides a wide range of corporate and user-generated media videos.
It is one of the most popular websites in the world, receiving over 30 million visitors per day. The site has also become a source of income for many content creators and has been used as a promotional tool by musicians, filmmakers, and other individuals. Youtube also allows users to create their channels and upload videos and live-stream events.
In addition, users can watch videos in a variety of formats, including standard definition, high definition, and even virtual reality. Youtube is an excellent platform for content creators, allowing them to share their work with audiences around the world, and for the public to access a range of content.
