YouTube is the world's largest video-sharing platform, founded in 2005 by former PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Acquired by Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion, it has grown to over 2.5 billion monthly active users worldwide, making it the second most-visited website globally after Google.com. The platform generates approximately $31.5 billion in annual advertising revenue (2024), accounting for nearly 14% of Google's total revenue.
Beyond traditional video hosting, YouTube has expanded into multiple content verticals including YouTube Music, YouTube Premium (125 million paid subscribers as of 2025), YouTube Shorts (competing with TikTok), and YouTube TV for live television streaming. The platform has become a major destination for podcasts, with viewers watching over 700 million hours of podcasts monthly on living room devices alone. In a significant move, YouTube secured exclusive global broadcast rights for the Academy Awards starting in 2029.
YouTube's DNS infrastructure runs through Google's global network, sharing nameservers with google.com. Content delivery leverages Google's extensive edge network and CDN, with video cached at thousands of locations worldwide. Mobile devices account for approximately 70% of platform traffic, with India (500 million users) and the United States (254 million users) representing the largest national audiences.
