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 cuz 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. | |||
