YouTube has become a highly influential platform which is really popular among users worldwide.
Today, YouTube has millions or even billions of users around the globe. The popularity of YouTube is
closely related to the huge opportunity created by the platform because users can publish their videos
both documentary and featured ones. On February 14, 2005, three former workers of PayPal founded
the site. In November 2006, Google bought YouTube. Although YouTube at first used flash player to play
videos on it's website, but later it incorporated HTML5 to play contents. Even though YouTube focuses
on sharing videos mainly, the website still opens wide opportunities for users to share their creative
ideas and make them watchable. Users may be driven by different facts, while publishing their videos
and sharing contents with others. Some of them may be willing to publishing some interesting facts or
ideas recorded by them in the real world, while others manifest their creativity with the help of
YouTube. YouTube allows watching diverse channels and videos which may vary in the content.
However, the popularity of videos determine their availability to the audience. What makes YouTube
really popular and mainstream social media is its process of directly giving feedbacks to the creator.
These feedbacks help the creator to adjust his content according to the viewers' choice.
