Three Programmers Turned A Dating Website Into A $190 Billion Dollar Product (YOUTUBE)



YouTube is a video-sharing platform that was created by three former PayPal employees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim.


 When they started building Youtube, they wanted it to be a dating site. They were only focused on boys and girls who wanted to use a website that could help them get dates.



The idea for the YouTube you know and use today, came about in 2005, when the three friends were having difficulty sharing videos from a dinner party they had attended. They realized that there was no easy way to share videos online, and so they decided to create a platform that would make it possible.


The first video ever uploaded to YouTube was a 19-second clip of Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo, entitled "Me at the zoo." It was uploaded on April 23, 2005. Over the next few months, the founders worked to improve the site and make it more user-friendly. They also reached out to friends and family members, asking them to upload videos and share the site with others.


In November 2006, Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion. Since then, YouTube has grown exponentially, becoming the second most popular website in the world after Google. It is estimated that more than 2 billion people use the site every month, watching over a billion hours of video per day.


Today, YouTube is a platform that is used by people all over the world to share their thoughts, ideas, and creativity with others. It has become an important part of modern culture and a powerful tool for communication and entertainment.
