Two decades after the first upload of 'Me at the Zoo,' YouTube has grown into a media powerhouse. Initially a simple video-sharing site, it was bought by Google for $1.65 billion in 2006. Analysts estimate its value today ranges from $475 billion to $550 billion. YouTube now commands a significant portion of the online video market, leading TV viewership statistics and set to become the largest media company by revenue by 2025, surpassing Disney. Creators contribute to its content, benefiting significantly from Google's data-driven advertising strategies.
"If it was a stand-alone business, YouTube would be worth between $475 billion and $550 billion, according to analysts at MoffettNathanson."
