The 20th anniversary of the YouTube video "Me at the zoo" highlights its role in transforming society into a share-all culture. Initially just a test of the platform, the video set off a revolution in content consumption and celebrity perception. Today, people often witness life through screens rather than directly. This shift reflects a broader cultural change where everyone is seen as a content creator, redefining personal identity and public life. The early YouTube motto, "Broadcast Yourself," encapsulated this democratization of content sharing.
This shift wasn't driven by YouTube alone, admittedly. But YouTube has been the most visible force guiding this cultural direction.
YouTube's early motto, "Broadcast Yourself," was a democratizing force, a clarion call to shift our behaviors.
