YouTube was released in February 2005.when three former employees of the Paypal company – Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim – got together and created it after they had trouble sharing a few videos with each other after attending a party.

The domain was activated on February 14, 2005, and almost a month later, on April 23, the first clip was uploaded to the platform called “Me at the Zoo”. It was only a matter of time before everyone started uploading content and sharing the links through other social networks like MySpace.

One of the big companies that saw the potential of YouTube was the Nike brand, which posted an advertisement featuring Ronaldinho, which made other big companies look up to YouTube and feel drawn in.

The reception of Internet users on YouTube was such that in December 2005, the platform went from 50 million visits per day to 250 million views after a channel posted the music video Lazy Sunday, initially broadcast on Saturday Night Live.

Since its launch, YouTube is a site that has not only revolutionized the Internet, but also the way users watch content. Example of this the recognition it received from Time magazine in November 2006 when it was named “Invention of the Year”.

Having become the best medium for dissemination, enjoying such popularity has also put its owners in trouble, such as when hosting school fights or bullying, clips related to terrorism, drug trafficking or other topics considered sensitive due to their intimate content or crimes such as murders and more.

For the United States, one of more sensitive issues It’s the school shootings, which is why YouTube has been in the eye of the hurricane more than once for hosting content filmed by the attackers, as was the case during the shooting of Virginia Tech, when Cho Seung-Hui, the abuser, previously uploaded a speech about the facts.

More recently, following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns have also been raised about how the platform allows the content monetization which can be misleading and risky for the population.

Although not everything is bad, because thanks to this platform many people have been able to be recognized for their talent, as was the case of Susan Boyle, who participated in the Britain’s Got Talent program whose extract uploaded to YouTube has makes the woman a complete stranger to one of the most viralized, famous and acclaimed people on the internet.
