Watching a series of company stories makes me realize that founders took their past working experience as a drive to start something that will change to future.
Probably the greatest story on this subject to date. A well presented , researched, & delivered, content topic on this success story. Big up to hook 👍👍👍
This was an awesome video, you did such a good job with information while also keeping it entertaining enough to watch it all the way through. Big thumbs up. As I somewhat knew the story of youtube already, this had some information I didn't already know. Thanks!
look at them struggle with a lot of harships that makes me realize: If u want to sit on the place where nobody can, you must endure something nobody can endure. Key of success
Great video but you forgot to note that Elon Musk was the 3rd and big cofounder of PayPal and was also CEO for a time too at the time of acquisition by eBay
This historical video are totally blown me off, since much active using youtube from 2010/2012 i think, yeah it becauss my country has poor connections and just araound 2-3 years after 4G i can watch youtube without need to buffer each 5 secs just to watch 1 sec lol xD, God Bless you founder of TH-cam, your creation didnt only becoming an alternative watch sites, but also it savior from my country shows where is the program on each tv stations is almost same and more over its revolving around the things that didn't on my plate, so im grateful you guys has make this video sites and the rumors that i had hear back in early 2010 is true, "TH-cam can make money", it so fantastic thanks Hook for bringing this piece historical evidence of hardwork never betrayed
It's shid now, i want to make an alternative that's fair to all users and they can make millions on it easy with alot of cool features, and i would listen to the users, ugh so frustrating 😭
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
Thank you for my motivation...if i ever achieve any success i would love to find you and give some of my contribution for maintaining my drive to dream
@@marccram2664 You welcome 😊 friend. Sure will love to hear about your success stories and how you surmounted the insurmountable. Keep pushing dear friend. victory is near.
Been watching YT since 2005 before google got involved and took over. There were no ads and no rules back then and videos werent being yanked down like today.
It bothers me. Many of these sites started out so human, yet became so propagandist. I like those three guys, and I like to see people win. How did it all become so monstrous? :/
I as some great ideas back in the day & still have some which have nit been done yet…..but I’m not a programmer I’m a ideas man don’t no enough about computers in general……

Hi, I'm a normal human
🤔
So are you telling that my favorite video platform was started with a bunch of strangers?
I found out years later I was born in the same city as one of the founders of TH-cam. I never met them however.
wattttttttt
Lucky
@@danial3349 unlucky you should say
@@knowledgeofpath4447 why’s that I would love to live in the same city as a successful person
@@danial3349 cuz he just lost opportunity of meeting such a person
Watching a series of company stories makes me realize that founders took their past working experience as a drive to start something that will change to future.
Until now, I find it ridiculous that rodents would had something to do with TH-cam’s early history in the first place.
They have been here before us and They will be here when all this turns to dust 💯 sad but true.
They are part of history too
Well, rodents also saved Scott Lang in Avengers; Endgame so he can save humans.
Amen to that!
There’s always a small story behind every big creation.
Well fact this story is the big part that make everything possible
I wouldn't say small story
You are very correct.
Totally. Amazing
This is not a small story 🤔
Congratulations to the trio. This story is a great motivation for every young person who has started business to pesevere to achieve success.
yes sir
...and to remember its okay to pivot when things are not going as planned.
I hope youtube recommends this video to millions of people😊
Can’t wait for *Me at the zoo* part 2!!

From rat infested office to ads infested site.
It is business they deserve to earn more profits too. To keep up with the changing times.
Yep
😂😂😂😂
I had the pleasure of working with Steve at PayPal. Never knew him that well and the YT stories. Thank you for this
So what's your impact bro 😇
Investors: call TH-cam cute.
Investors Years later: calls cat video on TH-cam cute.
Exactly 💯
Exactly!
These people are the legends They Made TH-cam And Now Your Making Their History In the Thing They Made for Countless Times
Ceramics engineering? Haven’t heard about it until this video. You learn something new everyday.
8:48 I love how ironic the message on the window is
Amazing effort by those three kids, You tube is the best thing that ever happened.
Ceramics engineering dismissed as "pottery", successfully insulting both fields with one piece of ignorance. Well done.
Jesting Potter !
I know. I thought wow, is this person joking?
It hurts right.
@@renleedativo1679 Ceramic tiles failing on exploded space craft hurt.
Umm . . . Aren't you the one insulting pottery?
23:22 That 180 degree turn tho
Guys i ve never heard of such perseverance from young men and facing giant challenges. We love u guys. Thank God for these men.
Wow, what an asome story.

*So this is how TH-cam begin...*
that transition to the sponsor was too smooth though ;-;
living legendary heroes of social media. million thanks...from the world
TH-cam was good in the early 2010’s but now, it’s not as good as it was before.
I’ve been waiting for this
This was an awesome video, you did such a good job with information while also keeping it entertaining enough to watch it all the way through. Big thumbs up. As I somewhat knew the story of youtube already, this had some information I didn't already know. Thanks!
I was crying by the end of the video. That triumphant music. A true success story! 🥰😍
look at them struggle with a lot of harships that makes me realize: If u want to sit on the place where nobody can, you must endure something nobody can endure. Key of success
And then it went downhill from there.....Demonetization, Censorship.....need I say more?
True
yeah you need to say one more, Copyright strike
yes
"Giant rats like the size of cats!" That employee would have been a good singer. 22:10
This is so interesting. I'm very thankful for the three of them.
The world doesn’t need Metaverse already because TH-cam is already enough to proof that TH-cam change the world
Google came in clutch!
Very impressive for not giving up
Great video but you forgot to note that Elon Musk was the 3rd and big cofounder of PayPal and was also CEO for a time too at the time of acquisition by eBay
This shows that to build a castle you need a small grain of sand to create a brick that builds a castle. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙏🙏
im crying. idk them but i feel proud
Thanks, Hook2, my sense of the timeline was all wrong. But my understanding of an interesting tale of a real-life success story is so much richer now.
Well researched, informative and inspiring! Awesome!
A Kenyan is always everywhere that has to be the 7th wonder of the world.

Thank you Hook. I am really grateful to these 3 great collaborators of my favourite site ever! You guys totally rock 💜😎
Thanks for sharing this. Now I understand it all. Such a good story.
Any company should start with humble beginnings until they really took off.
Still love you Hook! This is why TH-cam was started.

Thank You for these founders for keeping it up. ❣

The fact that most popular video original creator is unknown is sad, and most of the oldest april 2005 creators and users are not know.
Too bad Google seriously abuse their privilege. Big does not equate to social goodness. Really wish there was an alternative.
Bytedance tiktok is coming for them
Alternative, It's coming soon, I'm going to try and make it, if it isn't me, it's gonna come eventually
Id praise that person
I miss the old star rating system :(
Thank you for your inspiring stories
Gracias por publicar
This is so inspiring, I’m gonna make something called The Facebook 🤟🏾
You have made a big mistake...😐
@@mrasooly2012 do not insult my dreams, your mother will be on it I guarantee you lol
@@truetrav7333 okay I guess if it's your dreams then follow it make sure you make it a good app 😊
@@truetrav7333 but I'm pretty sure there's already a thing called facebook tho...
I guess you copy it 😃
facebook is registered by Meta, and you cannot name your comany like that
The concept came from the list of all, "Hot or Not" what a story!
Very well done story! Lesson here is never give up!
Those guys made my childhood...😭
all right so here we are
-jawed
Facebook and Google should have been Numbre one.
It is amazing how a small Video has now become a global Phenomemom everywhere.
Small developers take lot of time step up from 1 to 10 but big companies takes just take less time to move from 10 to 100
10 to -100
The real hero in this story is me at the zoo itself.
Steve is a real Chad for making youtube
I'm hoping you guys in Hook might do the history of Android in the future.
Imagine going back in time to tell them "cat videos" means TH-cam's getting traction!
Haha yes!
Wasn’t Elon Musk the founder of PayPal?
No
yea he was the founder, i think he sold it for a billion or smthng, i read it somewhere
We went from a good service to a bad platform with nfts that are crashing
most underrated channel
And then a woman touched it and it turned into trash.
I remembered way back in 2008.. Friendster was like Facebook where you can coded to put YT in your profile so it was really fun way back those times
Been watching YT since 2005 before google got involved and took over. There were no ads and no rules back then and videos werent being yanked down like today.
Yt videos back then was edited using movie maker. The music lyrics were classic lol
Thank you to the founders! So much wealth of knowledge gained!
a job well done Hook! Thank You
Those investors got Uno Reversed Card reaaaal good.
Never under estimate the importance of a small steps.💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
and yet we didn't knew about these masterpieces
Damn right to call your channel hook because I’m hooked
These guy doing all in and with big dreams !
Awesome Achievement.....🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
I want to thank this three guys 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks to Chad,Jawed and Steve We all have this wonderful time 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Only reason TH-cam is 2nd it’s because ppl gotta go to Google to go to youtube
There’s no such thing as an overnight success indeed.
Start out small, sell out to a corporate monster. And your product becomes absolute 💩
really good job with the video 👍
Ironic that we are watching this video in TH-cam
Looks like it's going to go back that way when a new platform soon that will out do this YT site.
We wouldn't be seeing this video if it wasn't for the founders
Thanks to the effort of this guys
Nice idea for a movie
Wow.... ilove this video it gave me a host of information..... keep putting the good words out .... thank to you on your team
I still remember watching equals 3
This was so nostalgic.
There is Universe were those 3 are still paypal engineers😂
It bothers me.
Many of these sites started out so human, yet became so propagandist.
I like those three guys, and I like to see people win. How did it all become so monstrous? :/
All great story begjn in a humble beginning..I love to know this.
Great Doc. Enjoyed your host and mostly accurate pics and vids. Cheers 🇨🇦
I as some great ideas back in the day & still have some which have nit been done yet…..but I’m not a programmer I’m a ideas man don’t no enough about computers in general……
Are they still without rats?
A lot of info is missing here. How did they manage to pay the bills for such a costly endeavor for so long, how did they manage to negotiate themselves into being so wealthy, etc.
Great video. You're gonna reach 1Million soon, I can see it. Keep up the good work.
