𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲: 𝗔 𝟮𝟬-𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻! In 2005, Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim launched YouTube from a San Francisco garage, aiming to simplify video sharing after struggling to upload a dinner party clip. The first video, Jawed Karim’s 19-second “Me at the zoo,” debuted on April 23, 2005. By 2006, viral hits like “Lazy Sunday” propelled its fame, leading to a $1.65B acquisition by Google. YouTube pioneered the creator economy, empowering stars like PewDiePie and Smosh through its 2007 Partner Program, which shared ad revenue. It transformed culture with trends like Gangnam Style and activism during the Arab Spring, but faced challenges with misinformation and moderation. Evolving from Flash to AI-driven features, YouTube introduced Shorts, 4K, and live streaming. By 2025, with 2.5B users, it offers YouTube Music, TV, and creator tools, competing with TikTok while navigating global regulations. Celebrating 20 years, YouTube remains a platform where anyone can share their voice, reshaping media and society.
