YouTube<\/a> is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch and share videos online<\/b>. On YouTube it is also possible to upload your own video<\/b> and make it visible for others. <\/p>\n

What is YouTube?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It was created in 2005<\/b> and almost entirely dominates the online video market, with viewers who watch almost 6 billion of hours every month there. YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim<\/b>, who were previously employees of the company PayPal.<\/p>\n

YouTube is so popular because of their users, which upload roughly 100 hours of videos every minute<\/b>. Most importantly is the sheer variety found on the site. From cats<\/a> and fashion vloggers<\/a> to guitar tutorials<\/a> and black holes<\/a>, you can find anything on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The most important thing about YouTube is that you can actually choose what you want to see and when you want to see it<\/b>. It\u2019s a freeing way to experience of content compared to something like cable television. Although the variety of videos is a big advantage of YouTube, remember that not everything is appropriate for everyone. Thankfully content can be restricted to different ages, and some content is outright forbidden.<\/p>\n
