The story of YouTube… a 20 year journey through YouTube’s different eras.
From being a dating site on the edge of bankruptcy to becoming the 2nd most viewed site in the world. YouTube’s rise is a wild underdog success story.
But this video is also a journey through the different eras of YouTube, from the rise of the creator economy, to the adpocalypse, to all kinds of scandals and drama. This is a business story with plenty of twists. It all begins with three early PayPal employees: Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim.
We'll cover many historic YouTube moments: from YouTube's first video, to early viral videos and YouTubers, to the most disliked video in YouTube history. Welcome to the insane history of YouTube by MagnatesMedia (home of business mini movies & crazy true business stories / business documentaries).
I hope you enjoy the rise of YouTube!
