You Tube : A Dating Site
Yes you read it right YouTube was a dating site. The idea behind it was to help people to find their love.If quick change was not made that time then we’d all be using the service to find our next partner.
YouTube was registered on February 14 2005, Valentine's Day - co-founded by Steve Chen.
The original concept for YouTube, was as a site for single people to make and upload videos introducing themselves and stating what they were looking for.
After five days, however, not one video had been uploaded to the newly launched site.
Then Chen and fellow founders Jawed Karim and Chad Hurley decided to open it up to all kinds of clips-“Let’s just open it up to any video.”
It was clearly the right choice. YouTube, which was acquired by Google for $1.6 billion in 2006, transformed into a video behemoth that now attracts a billion visitors a month. Most recently, the platform introduced a new, ad-free subscription model called YouTube Red.
