Youtubes History
In today's presentations I found Youtube's story to be the most interesting. They started out as a small platform that enabled anyone to post random content that didnt have to fit a certain criteria. It birthed hundreds of talented content creators and let them use a platform that wasnt playing by the rules when it came to video streaming. The rise of Youtube didn't surprise people, videos would go viral in the matter of minutes. Youtube is not only a great platform for public media but a website that establishes its niches determined by the users. The users of the platform dictate if the video will succeed in the algorithm by providing comments, likes, donations, and subscriptions.
Youtube is a safe space for content creators to develop a community around there personality and possibly become a celebrity by uploading to a free website. The amount of potential is immeasurable on Youtube. Theirs no limitation when it comes to creativity. I personally grew up on YouTube and became found of the personas and people I watched daily. Its also a great educational platform if you let it be. Millions of guides and tutorials are uploaded daily. You can teach your self anything on YouTube if you give yourself the time to replicate what you see in a video. I have spent days on this platform and am amazed by the categories of content that is free to access. Out of all social medias Youtube is one of the only apps I engage with on a weekly basis.
