YouTube

YouTube is an online video-sharing platform that allows users to upload, view, share, and comment on videos. Launched in 2005, it has become one of the most popular sites for user-generated content, encompassing a wide range of genres including music videos, educational content, vlogs, gaming, and more. Users can create channels, build audiences, and monetize their content through ads and subscriptions. YouTube serves both as a social media platform for creators and a resource for viewers seeking entertainment, information, or tutorials. Owned by Google since 2006, YouTube supports various video formats and offers features like live streaming, playlists, and the ability to follow channels.
