The History of Youtube. Started by Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley, YouTube first launched in 2005 and has now become one of the most visited websites in the history of the internet. As employees of PayPal, the three soon realized, in 2004, that there wasn’t one location where videos could be shared.
YouTubers make money from monetization with AdSense. Advertisers only pay when someone clicks an ad or watches for 30 seconds. This is why you can’t tie your channel views to dollars. If your video gets ten million views but nobody watches or click the ads, you don’t make any money.
Youtube’s controversy is with the fact that Youtube bans/ terminates accounts because of dumb reasons, such as child involvement, copyright. YouTube has also been reporting comments and accounts to law enforcement, which it has to do in compliance with federal law. Advertisers and creators have responded to the issue over the past couple of days following a video highlighting the issue that gained widespread attention. The video, from Matt Watson, demonstrated how searching terms like “bikini haul,” which features women modeling different swimsuits they’ve purchased, can lead to videos of children that feature predatory messages in the comment sections.
People are upset with Youtube, because they are being shown, “inappropriate” content. They don’t think it’s right that people have to see ads for no reason. People are also upset with the fact that they have to see not safe content for children. People are just mad because they have to censor their kids viewing.
You can even earn money directly from YouTube too, as the site shares some of the revenue it makes from companies who pay to run adverts before or over your video. Videos in a range of file formats can be uploaded as YouTube converts it into its Adobe Flash video format, with the file extension .FLV, for you.
