"YouTube has also grown into an alternative to cable, serving as a major broadcast partner of the NFL. It has also gotten into both short-form video to compete with social media companies and live event streaming. Last year, Business of Apps reported that the social media platform generated $36.1 billion in revenue, a 15% year-over-year increase, with the majority of this revenue coming from advertising. It made $14.5 billion from subscriptions."
"Started in California in 2005 by former PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Originally intended to be a dating portal based on video profiles, YouTube's first slogan was "Tune in, hook up," noted Vice.com. The first official video on YouTube was published on April 23, 2005. "Me at the zoo" featured a young Karim visiting the San Diego Zoo about a decade prior."
"There have been major bumps in the road as the world navigates the artificial intelligence revolution. If you spend any time on social media, the problem is readily apparent.

But AI slop is a different animal."

The first video, "Me at the zoo," was published April 23, 2005. Google acquired YouTube in November 2006 for $1.65 billion. YouTube expanded into music, professional content, live-event streaming, and partnered with the NFL, while adding Shorts to compete in short-form video. The platform generated $36.1 billion in revenue with $14.5 billion from subscriptions. Rapid adoption of AI has produced many low-quality, AI-generated Shorts that degrade content quality.
