YouTube
YouTube is an online video platform owned by Google. It was created in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees. The platform allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It offers a wide variety of user-generated and corporate media videos. Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, and other content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.
History
YouTube was created by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. The trio were all early employees of PayPal, which left them enriched after the company was bought by eBay. Hurley had studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
Content
YouTube content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations, and organizations. It includes music videos, TV show clips, documentary films, movie trailers, live streams, video blogs (vlogs), and educational videos. YouTube has also become a platform for individuals and companies to make money through YouTube Partner Program.
Impact on Society
YouTube has had a significant impact on pop culture, internet culture, and society at large. It has been a platform for launching careers of many musicians and has been a source of news, entertainment, and education for millions of people worldwide.
Health and Medicine
YouTube has also been used as a platform for sharing health and medical information. Many health organizations, hospitals, and individual healthcare professionals have channels where they share informational videos on a variety of health topics. However, the quality and accuracy of health information on YouTube can vary, and it is important for viewers to evaluate the source and content of health information shared on the platform.
