YouTube

YouTube is a video-sharing platform owned by Google. Created by three men on February 14, 2005 (making the site fifteen years old), YouTube has claimed the title of the biggest, most trafficked, and most well-known video-sharing website in the world. In its 15-year existence, it also gave way to many Internet celebrities, all with different backstories and video-creating styles. Along with famous people, YouTube has also spawned numerous memes and Internet moments, many of which define the history of the Internet and have a place in the hearts of Internet veterans everywhere.

YouTube's Great Decline
In recent years, some seasoned creators and viewers of the website have formed the opinion that YouTube's overall quality in content has decreased as time went on. Instead of any individual creator with a camera being able record and introduce themselves to the online world of YouTube, the site has made fame using such methods impossible as only those with preexisting fame, professional equipment, or new ideas that have never been done before can strive on the platform.
