The idea of sharing videos of long and short duration was a revolutionary idea that became a reality in April of 2005. This is when the first Youtube video was uploaded to this social media browser. The name of this video was called "Me at the Zoo" which was an 18-second clip of one of the co-founders, Karim, talking about elephant trunks at the San Diego Zoo. In May of 2005, the first beta version was launched for public use.
As of this year, it has been 15 years since the birth of this life-changing and influential media outlet. This platform has over 2 billion subscribers, me being one of them. It also helped launch the careers of individuals like "PewDiePie" and the sketch comedy channel "Smosh".
In October of 2005, the first viral video to hit 1 million views belongs to a commercial promoting Nike soccer (or in Brazil would be called football) shoes. Later in December, the website is officially out of beta and the public can use this freely.
Jumping the timeline to August of 2015, Youtube Gaming was introduced to video gaming streaming channels in order to placate to a live and interactive audience.
2016, in January Adele's "Hello, was the first video to hit over 1 billion views which was previously held by PSY's Gangnam Style in 2012.
