YouTube, The Home of Vlogging - 50minutes
Whether they want to express a political opinion, learn how to fix their stove, watch a film clip or a music video by an artist from anywhere in the world, or find out more about the lifestyle of the inhabitants of an island on the other side of the globe, YouTube attracts an audience of a billion internet users who watch a total of six billion hours of video content hosted on the site each month – and all for free!
What was originally envisioned as a simple video-sharing platform now accounts for nearly 4% of internet traffic worldwide. As such, there are some who do not hesitate to say that YouTube has changed the world by making it smaller and more universally accessible. It has opened new doors to fame and fortune, it has given a wide range of political causes and initiatives a voice, and it has revolutionised the way we think about entertainment and education.
Naturally, having dramatically altered the global audiovisual media landscape, YouTube came with the same slew of legal, financial and technical problems common to any new way of doing things. The website was purchased by the American internet giant Google less than two years after it was launched, and evolved in tandem with both the older corporation and the habits of the users who keep it alive. In 2015, YouTube celebrated its 10-year anniversary, and since then has increasingly been turning its attention towards cementing its position as the leader of the ultra-competitive but tremendously profitable sector of on-demand video, despite being faced with powerful competitors with near-bottomless funds to draw on.
