Youtube Origin Story:
-500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute worldwide. That's 30,000 hours of video uploaded every hour. And 720,000 hours of video uploaded every day to YouTube.
- Who acquired Youtube and how much was spent?
-It was originally founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim in February 2005. It was then bought out by Google in 2006 for $1.65 Billion.
- How was allowing people to monetize channels, a major shift in the industry?
- It allowed people to earn money for uploading content and has allowed a lot of creators to build lucrative carriers, which has allowed for people to make millions of dollars a month from content.
- How were algorithms used to Youtube's advantage with subscribers?
- It allowed for people who get user-generated content based off of what people have watched or searched and gives recommended content so people can view what they like most. This then makes a better overall experience for viewers because it is easier to find the content they want to enjoy rather than scrolling for a long time before finding something they enjoy.
- Name some of the ways Youtube has changed and added aspects to their channel to increase audience/subscribers?
- Youtube has now added paid subscriptions that allow things such as offline viewing, Ad-free services, and other features which are more appealing to viewers, which makes people more attracted to the service and its comfortability.
- Why is content moderation hard for Youtube?
- Since there are so many people constantly active on the platform it makes it hard to moderate all of it as well as new content being uploaded every second, it is pretty much impossible to monitor all of it.
