18 Years Ago, YouTube Was Born. Since Then, It’s Been A Labour Of Love For Creators.
Here’s a brief history of YouTube.
February 14th, 2023, marks the 18-year anniversary of YouTube.
And, as the mega platform moves on from its adolescence, past its awkward teenage years, and into adulthood, it’s gained valuable life experience:

- Who it wants to be
- How to make money

Here’s how YouTube was born.
