The incredible story of how YouTube got its start and rose to become the world's most popular place to watch video
YouTube is the undisputed king of online video.
It has over a billion users, which is almost a third of the entire internet population. These users watch hundreds of millions of hours of content every single day.
But many people don't know how YouTube got its start.
The company rose like a rocket ship after its founding in 2005, and was bought by Google scarcely a year later.
Under Google, YouTube went from being a repository of amateur video to a powerhouse of original content, not to mention a launching pad for its own new brand of superstar, like PewDiePie.
Here is how YouTube got its explosive start, and maintained that momentum to become the biggest force in online video.
