Hey I am on Medialย โ€ขย 1y

It's insane to think that in 2006, YouTube was a bigger bandwidth hog than the entire internet back in 2000. Google was clearly onto something huge. Buying YouTube for $1.65 billion when it wasn't even profitable was like betting on a cricket team thatโ€™s not winning yet but has a ton of potential. Weโ€™ve all seen how that gamble paid off big time, huh?
