YouTube was created in 2004 as a dating website before later being changed to a video sharing platform after its founders started using their brains. The oldest YouTube video is "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw Me at the zoo]" by [https://www.youtube.com/@jawed jawed], one of YouTube's founders. The platform was later bought out by [[Google]] for $1.65b in November 2006. YouTube's popularity would spike around this time, with some of the first YouTubers starting their channels around this time. | YouTube was created in 2004 as a dating website before later being changed to a video sharing platform after its founders started using their brains.

=== YouTube 4chan porn raid === | |||
4chan users posted porn under names of teenage celebrities, it was done because YouTube deleted some music. The attack would spawn a meme called "I'm 12 years old and what is this?" which was in response to a comment on one such video. 4chan would attack again with porn after a YouTube channel called lukeywes1234 had been suspended for being under 13. The second attack was because lukeywes1234's videos were popular with 4chan, which were angered when he was terminated. | |||

The SSSniperWolf vs. Jacksfilms drama regards a feud between the Internet personalities [[SSSniperWolf]] and [[Jacksfilms]]. It started with Jacksfilms calling out SSSniperWolf for stealing other people's content in her reaction videos. SSSniperWolf would not take kindly to this, and would start flaming Jacksfilms on [[Twitter]], trying to win over the public opinion. Jacksfilms would then create another YouTube channel - JJJacksfilms<ref>Parodying the "SSS" in SSSniperWolf</ref> - where he would make really obnoxious reaction parodies, reacting to different things like his own videos in an intentionally annoying manner. He would later switch to making videos reacting to SSSniperWolf's videos but with a twist. He would Livestream his reactions on [[Twitch]] and play Bingo with his Twitch Chat, the Bingo squares being about what happens in the SSSniperWolf video. He would also encourage the original makers of the videos that SSSniperWolf reacted to to go out and explain their side of the story, explain how her reactions harmed them, and also to send copyright takedowns on her videos. It would all end after a few months when SSSniperWolf doxxed Jacksfilms by driving to his house, taking pictures and recordings of her standing outside of it, and uploading said images and recordings to [[Instagram]]. The resulting drama would spread to Twitter where all hell would break loose, and ending in the YouTube Staff Twitter account having to make a number of posts explaining things and who is in the wrong. The YouTube Staff would claim that both SSSniperWolf and Jacksfilms were guilty, saying that SSSniperWolf breached Jacksfilms' privacy and that Jacksfilms had harassed SSSniperWolf through his videos. SSSniperwolf had her monetary rights suspended on her main YouTube account for 2 weeks, which would only affect existing videos on her channel. | |||
