YouTube's Journey: Key Milestones

YouTube was founded in 2005 and was purchased by Google in 2006. It grew rapidly and was one of the earliest sites to offer HD and mobile access to videos. Gangnam Style became the first video to reach 1 billion views in 2012, and YouTube now hosts over 1 billion unique users per month watching over 4 billion hours of video each day uploaded. The site has continued to expand its offerings with paid services like YouTube Red but remains free for basic viewing.
