Did you know that YouTube was originally conceived as a dating site? Three of the co-founders had a vision for a platform where users could upload videos of themselves talking about what they were looking for in a partner. However, with zero video uploads in the first five days, they needed to find another direction. In a stroke of serendipity, they recognised the potential for YouTube to become a video sharing platform. They pivoted focus to creating a site where anyone could upload, share, and watch videos of all kinds and one of the biggest success stories in the history of the internet was born.
‘’I don’t know how many fathers can tell their kids that: stop using my app’’ Steve opened the talk with a joke in a glorious tone. Today, YouTube boasts over 2 billion daily viewers and more than 1 billion hours of video watched every day. With the rise of influencers and online creators, it has also become a launchpad for many successful careers and businesses.
