=About=
It is an American online video sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California.
Founded in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jord Karim, the service was acquired by Google in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion and now operates as one of its subsidiaries.
YouTube is the second most visited website according to the Alexa Internet Rankings, after Google Search.
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, and share videos, add them to playlists, report on them, comment on them, and subscribe to other users' channels.
Available content includes video clips, clips from TV shows, music videos, short films and documentaries, audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, video blogs, short original videos, and educational videos.
While most content is generated and uploaded by individuals, media companies such as CBS, BBC, Vevo, and Hulu provide some of their content through YouTube as part of their partnership programs with YouTube.
Non-registered users can still watch videos, but they cannot upload videos.
Age-restricted videos can only be viewed by registered users who have confirmed that they are at least 18 years old.
As of May 2019, more than 500 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and more than 1 billion hours of content are viewed on YouTube every day.
YouTube and selected creators receive advertising revenue from Google AdSense, a program that targets ads based on a site's content and audience.
The majority of videos are available for free, with exceptions such as subscription-based premium channels, movie rentals, YouTube Music, and YouTube Premium, each a subscription service offering premium music and ad-free music streaming, and ad-free access to all content, including exclusive content commissioned by celebrities.
Based on quarterly reported ad revenue, YouTube's annual revenue is estimated at US$15 billion.
