There are several possible answers to this question. In 2004, it was conceived at a dinner party in San Francisco, California. The founders of the company were frustrated by the difficulty of sharing video clips over the internet. The beta version of YouTube came online in May 2005. It was launched with the first video, &#8220;Me at the Zoo,&#8221; featuring Karim at the San Diego Zoo. The video soon reached over a million views. The Nike ad that launched the site&#8217;s popularity soon followed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2006\"><\/span>2006<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube started in 2006. It is an online video service. The founders wanted a simple and easy way to share videos and to search for clips on the site. In November 2005, Sequoia Capital invested $3.5 million in YouTube. They invested $8 million in the service in April. The service experienced rapid growth in its early months. Google bought YouTube in October 2006 for $1.65 billion in Google stock. Since then, it has become a major part of the Internet&#8217;s culture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2007\"><\/span>2007<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has been around for a long time, but it really didn&#8217;t become popular until 2007. This is a brief history of the video sharing site. In 2007 it launched its first monetization service, which featured advertisements that would pop up at the bottom of videos for about ten to fifteen seconds. In 2008, YouTube introduced video analytics and added audioswap, which allows users to upload their own songs. By 2011, the video sharing website was generating more than a billion visitors per day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2008\"><\/span>2008<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has evolved from its humble beginnings in February 2005. In 2007, the site became available to more users and began to offer new features. YouTube began offering ads, which appeared at the bottom of videos and lasted for ten to fifteen seconds. In September of the same year, YouTube introduced pre-roll advertising, allowing users to place ads before certain videos. In April of 2009, the site began testing HTML5 video player experimentation. As of October 2009, YouTube was tracking one billion video views a day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2009\"><\/span>2009<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube launches a feature film rental service in January 2010 in a gamble to compete with Apple and Netflix. In March, the site launched a thumbs rating system and enabled users to upload 4K videos. YouTube also played a pivotal role in the Arab Spring, allowing activists to spread messages of hope and defiance, which accelerated the movement. Several other big changes are made to YouTube in 2009.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2010\"><\/span>2010<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When YouTube came out in 2010, it was a different world altogether. It was mostly used by male teenagers and accounted for 65% of the total audiovisual content market on the Internet. But YouTube didn&#8217;t have much of a business model to speak of; the company had been sued for copyright infringement and had no physical infrastructure. And the content it produced captivated the world. It quickly became a massive force in the entertainment industry, outpacing the internet&#8217;s mainstream culture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"T-Series_becomes_first_channel_to_hit_100_million_subscribers\"><\/span>T-Series becomes first channel to hit 100 million subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>T-Series has become the first Indian music channel to hit the landmark of 100 million YouTube subscribers. This follows months of competition between T-Series and PewDiePie to become the largest YouTube channel. Both channels reached tens of millions of subscribers and achieved global recognition. Though PewDiePie has not commented on the loss of the record, T-Series&#8217;s success shows that Indian music channels are still very popular.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Usher_introduces_15-year-old_Justin_Bieber_via_a_video_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Usher introduces 15-year-old Justin Bieber via a video on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first time Usher heard of 15-year-old Justin Bieber was when he discovered him posting videos on YouTube. The young singer soon shot to superstardom. Usher&#8217;s manager introduced him to Usher, and the pair started working together to get Justin Bieber more exposure. In December 2009, Bieber sang for President Barack Obama at the White House.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_ad_offerings_beat_out_customer_experience\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s ad offerings beat out customer experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most appealing features of YouTube&#8217;s advertising platform is the number of ad formats available. Display ads are not videos, but instead are simply text messages that are shown across Google&#8217;s Display network. In order to make them more effective, you must name your ad, enter your budget amount per day, and select a country. Depending on your niche and brand&#8217;s message, you can use a combination of formats to reach the target audience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Gets_Better_campaign\"><\/span>It Gets Better campaign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When YouTube came out, the It Gets Better Project was launched. The goal of the project was to save the life of the next queer teenager who experienced bullying and adversity. Now, this campaign has grown into a global network with affiliates in 17 countries. The It Gets Better Project videos feature stories of people who are struggling and have overcome their circumstances. Openly LGBTQ celebrities have contributed stories about their personal struggles and successes. Out employees of major corporations have also participated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PewDiePie_investigation\"><\/span>PewDiePie investigation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The latest controversy involving PewDiePie is centered around the fact that he claims he was banned from China for his YouTube videos. However, that wasn&#8217;t the only controversy involving PewDiePie. YouTube itself was the first to remove PewDiePie from the Google Preferred advertising program because of his prank involving anti-Semitic rhetoric. But PewDiePie has since bounced back and announced an exclusive live-stream deal with the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Did YouTube Come Out?
