Since the advent of the internet, there has been a drastic change in the way videos are watched by people on different platforms.

Presently, YouTube is the most popular online video sharing and social media platform launched by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim in February 2005. After seeing the huge potential in the promising platform, YouTube was bought by Google for a whopping US$1.65 billion in stock in November 2006.
