look at some of the most surprising and
inspiring facts pertaining to this
all-powerful video hosting site from the
scope of its data use to its occasional

pizza for you pizza for me many
companies start from humble places and
YouTube was no different said to have
started in the garage of co-founder Chad
Hurley the company soon set up shop in
San Mateo California it was really just
a combination of me and my friends
getting together talking about what we
could create specifically YouTube’s
early headquarters was an office in
Silicon Valley located above a pizzeria
and Japanese restaurant
despite the offices potentially odd
location it said that about 20 workers
were hired from this spot and served as
YouTube’s first employees and it’s clear
that the locale didn’t adversely affect
its eventual success cool thing about
these guys today is a
really really really long
number nine name is the same almost same
say same same but different but did say
when striking out on your own a lack of
foresight can be a tricky thing case in
point
YouTube ran into trouble when their
sites domain caused problems with
Universal tube and roll form equipment
owners of youtube.com with a you as it
happened many users had sought out
YouTube with a why but had typed in the
similar-sounding web address for
Universal tubes site causing it to crash
after receiving 68 million hits people
sometimes make mistakes yes I do in
October 2006 Universal Tube filed a
lawsuit against YouTube over the
confusion before apparently settling and
purchasing a new web domain oh god they
only wanted for the initials that domain
name yeah they do I move we so what yeah
so so number eight reward the users
let’s just feel like three stimulus
you know it’s a tough road to success
and the site’s owners know it this would
be why any channel on YouTube that
secures ten million subscribers is sent
the Dimond YouTube play button which
contains a giant diamond rock for those
channels that obtain 1 million
subscribers the 24 karat gold play
button award is YouTube’s reward and
don’t fret if you haven’t reached those
numbers those who attain 100,000 user
subscriptions are granted the silver
play button for their efforts number 7
Kareem at the zoo alright so here we are
one of the elephant big things come from
small beginnings as they say so it was
with the rollout for YouTube’s video
hosting commencing on April 23rd 2005
with a video courtesy of co-founder
jawed Karim titled me at the zoo this 19
second clip shows Kareem at the San
Diego Zoo talking about the tusks of
elephants directly behind him despite
its short length and limited production
quality it has nevertheless been viewed
millions of times and received over
160,000 comments quite impressive for
the site’s first video number 6
foolish April
Roo’s and sir
you can’t say YouTube doesn’t have a
sense of humor from 2008 onward the
company started a tradition of pranking
their users on April Fool’s Day April
Fool’s would hit shit YouTube’s original
prank was to redirect all video links on
its main page to the music video for
Rick Astley song never gonna give you up
a practice called Rick rolling
later pranks included turning pages
upside down
pretending to celebrate its 100th
anniversary and even teaming with the
onion to put on a 12 hour livestream
announcing winners of a supposed contest
after eight amazing years it is finally
time to review everything that has been
uploaded to our site and begin the
process of selecting a winner
they are certainly dedicated to their
jokes will say that much I encourage
everybody to watch as many videos as
possible before YouTube deletes
everything tonight number five the
interest of advertisers this is the
greatest advertising opportunity since
the invention of cereal ads crop up in
all major facets of popular culture so
it isn’t a surprise that YouTube would
embrace them what is surprising is that
in 2013
advertisers reportedly spent 5.6 billion
dollars on YouTube growth has been the
trend ever since
reports in 2015 detailed that the number
of advertisers had risen by 40 percent
with top advertisers spending 60% more
than the previous year or Google the
owners of YouTube this has meant
billions of dollars in profits and a
widespread sense of satisfaction with
their efforts number four all the
bandwidth possible given its size it
makes sense for YouTube to demand a lot
of resources for example a 2007 report
estimated that YouTube used the same
amount of bandwidth as the entire
internet circa 2000 just as
interestingly in late 2014 various news
outlets and noted that YouTube along
with Netflix accounted for about 50% of
all bandwidth usage on the web all of
this gives credit to one idea YouTube is
very much rooted in the world of the
Internet
number 3 control over entertainment
YouTube is really incredible because in
a way it’s given the every man every
woman a voice talk about pop culture
power according to various sources
YouTube’s content makes up about 1/3 of
the broadcast entertainment in the
United States this gives weight to
reports that the site apparently draws
in over 15 billion
visitors per month and is the world’s
third most visited site as of 2015 I can
help it that I’m popular with its
introduction of features like a video
rental service and the YouTube gaming
platform the potential for further
cultural influence is hard to ignore
whooping Gundam star number two PayPal’s
influence coincidence is more than a
small factor in the creation of YouTube
co-founders Kareem Chad Hurley and Steve
Chen all knew each other from a previous
job working for PayPal Hurley was even
the designer of PayPal’s logo which he
conceived during his job interview they
were looking for a graphic designer for
someone who designed the interface for
this this new product called PayPal and
I sent them I resonate literally a week
later as out they’re sleeping on
someone’s floor working for them when
the trio departed PayPal they took with
them bonuses courtesy of eBay’s buyout
of PayPal which served as the original
funding for YouTube we’d say it worked
out for them
okay before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
I wanted to be very much a personal
account of what it’s like to be at the
center of extraordinary events but
you’re still an ordinary human being
every second one hour of video is
uploaded to YouTube that’s 24 hours of
video every 24 seconds we don’t want to
be forceful with it because what if the
other person isn’t reciprocating you
don’t want to cross a line accidentally
you know make them very uncomfortable
number one the origin story I think when
we received around a million views a day
that that’s how we would track our
successes how many videos did we serve
on a daily basis and we we were able to
crack 1 million and at that point we
thought we were on to something big
there’s many a tale behind how this
landmark site came to fruition
karema said that the initial conception
of the site was based on his inability
to find clips of Janet Jackson’s Super
Bowl performance and the 2004 Indian
Ocean tsunami Hurley and Chen meanwhile
say that the site was conceived as a
video based dating site along the lines
of hot-or-not you may have heard of this
app hot or not simple principle you see
people in your area you say whether or
not they’re hot or not and then you can
make a connection with them and
communicate with them it’s kind of like
a dating app coupled with a story about
the inability to email clips of a dinner
party and a rumored Craigslist posting
to entice women into posting content the
truth is uncertain nevertheless however
it came into being
YouTube is here to stay
