The First Youtube Video Ever Uploaded Is 15 Years Old Today by Prodigee: 11:00pm On Apr 23, 2020 |
The first ever YouTube video was uploaded on April 23, 2005 -- exactly 15 years ago, today. YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim posted the 18-second video, titled "Me at the zoo." It has since garnered over 90 million views. To this day, it is the only video on Karim's channel. Upon clicking play, the screen fills with a young Karim's face, his disheveled hair taking up the screen front and center. "Alright," Karim begins. "So here we are, in front of the elephants." "The cool thing about these guys is that they have really, really, really long, um, trunks," he continues. "And that's, that's cool." Unlike many YouTube creators' videos these days, Karim's video does not include what's considered the more traditional sign off: "Subscribe to my channel!" or "Like, rate, comment!" He ends the video simply by stating: "And that's pretty much all there is to say." A year after "Me at the zoo," Karim and fellow co-founders sold the platform to Google for a whopping $1.65 billion. Now, the platform boasts more than 2 billion logged-in users visit each month, according to YouTube. YouTube says one billion hours of content is watched daily. And it all began with Karim, at the zoo. Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/23/tech/youtube-first-video-jawed-karim-trnd/index.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw 1 Like |

It will turn 16 soon, as well as this gutter of a forum. At least the administrator here can live off the site, hence why he sees no need to improve. |
