The History of YouTube
By Auke de Haan
0 - Default Title
Description
Growth exploded like a server farm fire: monetization kicked in '07, letting creators cash in on eyeballs, but algorithms started picking favorites, burying indies under corporate gloss while scandals like PewDiePie's slips scorched the spotlight. Live streams turned bedrooms into broadcast booths, demonetization wars raged over edgy edits, and rivals like TikTok nipped at the heels, forcing pivots to shorts and shopping. From demon-haunted comment sections to CEO shake-ups, it became the pulse of pop culture, where trends ignited and died in days.
Two decades on, YouTube's a behemoth battling burnout and bots, its history a mirror to our screen-addled souls-from pandemic binges to AI clip churns. This book doesn't buffer the bumps; it's a straight stream through the site's static, proving a garage gimmick rewired how we watch, whine, and worship the web.
