YouTube was invented by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. They were former employees of PayPal and created YouTube in 2005. The platform quickly grew and was later acquired by Google in 2006.
YouTube was invented by three former PayPal employees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. They launched the site in February 2005.
The idea for YouTube came from their frustration with sharing videos online. They wanted to create an easy-to-use platform for uploading, sharing, and viewing videos. Their first video, “Me at the zoo,” was uploaded by Jawed Karim in April 2005, and YouTube quickly became popular, eventually being acquired by Google in November 2006 for $1.65 billion.
