This Cheesy Video Was The First Upload On YouTube 9 Years Ago Today
YouTube
Nobody knew what the evolution of dance was, and nobody cared about Charlie biting anyone's finger.
The very first video on YouTube was uploaded on April 23, 2005, by Jawed Karim, one of YouTube's founders, and there's no chance the video would've gone viral today.
The 18-second-long video is titled "Me at the zoo." A man stands in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo, and describes their trunks.
My how far we've come.
The video has been watched more than 14 million times. In 2013, in protest of Google forcing people to have a Google+ account in order to comment on the video, Karim changed the video's description to say "I can't comment here anymore, since I don't want a google+ account."
As of this writing, the video had more than 95,600 comments.
