• [66] The service continued to evolve in 2015 when YouTube announced YouTube Red, a new premium service that would offer ad-free access to all content on the platform (succeeding
  the Music Key service released the previous year), premium original series, and films produced by YouTube personalities, as well as background playback of content on mobile devices.

• [29] YouTube was not the first video-sharing site on the Internet; Vimeo was launched in November 2004, though that site remained a side project of its developers from CollegeHumor
  at the time and did not grow much, either.

• “[171][172] Community On September 13, 2016, YouTube launched a public beta of Community, a social media-based feature that allows users to post text, images (including GIFs),
  live videos and others in a separate “Community” tab on their channel.

• [166] Writing in the Newsday blog Silicon Island, Chase Melvin noted that “Google+ is nowhere near as popular a social media network like Facebook, but it’s essentially being
  forced upon millions of YouTube users who don’t want to lose their ability to comment on videos” and added that “Discussion forums across the Internet are already bursting with the outcry against the new comment system”.

• Users wishing to post a video discussing, inspired by, or related to another user’s video can make a “video response”.

• [130] In June 2014, YouTube began to deploy support for high frame rate videos up to 60 frames per second (as opposed to 30 before), becoming available for user uploads in
  October.

• [85] In 2022, YouTube launched an experiment where the company would show users who watched longer videos on TVs a long chain of short unskippable adverts, intending to consolidate
  all ads into the beginning of a video.

• [117] In 2018, YouTube added a feature called Premiere which displays a notification to the user mentioning when the video will be available for the first time, like for a
  live stream but with a prerecorded video.

• YouTube announced that it would remove video responses for being an underused feature on August 27, 2013.

• [33][34] The site grew rapidly; in July 2006, the company announced that more than 65,000 new videos were being uploaded every day and that the site was receiving 100 million
  video views per day.

• [138][139][140] Citing the limited number of users who watched more than 90-degrees, it began supporting an alternative stereoscopic video format known as VR180 which it said
  was easier to produce,[141] which allows users to watch any video using virtual reality headsets.

• [45][46][47] However, most of these views came from a relatively small number of videos; according to a software engineer at that time, 30% of videos accounted for 99% of
  views on the site.

• [180] Later the same year, YouTube Feather was introduced as a lightweight alternative website for countries with limited internet speeds.

• [145] In certain cases, YouTube allows the uploader to upgrade the quality of videos uploaded a long time ago in poor quality.

• [113] YouTube formerly offered a ‘Community Captions’ feature, where viewers could write and submit captions for public display upon approval by the video uploader, but this
  was deprecated in September 2020.

• [108][109] When YouTube was launched in 2005, it was possible to upload longer videos, but a 10-minute limit was introduced in March 2006 after YouTube found that the majority
  of videos exceeding this length were unauthorized uploads of television shows and films.

• [87] YouTube public dislike count removal (2021–present) After testing earlier in 2021, YouTube removed public display of dislike counts on videos in November 2021, claiming
  the reason for the removal was, based on its internal research, that users often used the dislike feature as a form of cyberbullying and brigading.

• [170] In December 2020, it was reported that YouTube would launch a new feature that will warn users who post a comment that “may be offensive to others.

• [139][156] User features Comment system See also: Criticism of Google § YouTube user comments Most videos enable users to leave comments, and these have attracted attention
  for the negative aspects of both their form and content.

• [23][24] In May, the company launched a public beta and by November, a Nike ad featuring Ronaldinho became the first video to reach one million total views.

• [160] Google subsequently implemented a comment system oriented on Google+ on November 6, 2013, that required all YouTube users to use a Google+ account to comment on videos.

• [60] Through this period, YouTube tried several new ways to generate revenue beyond advertisements.

• [174][non-primary source needed] After the feature has been officially released, the community post feature gets activated automatically for every channel that passes a specific
  threshold of subscriber counts or already has more subscribers.

• [65] In 2014, YouTube announced a subscription service known as “Music Key,” which bundled ad-free streaming of music content on YouTube with the existing Google Play Music
  service.

• [16] Hurley and Chen said that the original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service, and had been influenced by the website Hot or Not.

• [18] Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site’s founders deciding to accept uploads of any video.

• YouTube released a mobile app known as YouTube Kids in 2015, designed to provide an experience optimized for children.

• Karim could not easily find video clips of the incident and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami online, which led to the idea of a video-sharing site.

• [52][53] YouTube logo from 2015 until 2017 During this time, the company also went through some organizational changes.

• [31] Unofficial uploads of the skit to YouTube drew in more than five million collective views by February 2006 before they were removed when NBCUniversal requested it two
  months later based on copyright concerns.

• Besides helping to bolster ratings and long-term viewership for Saturday Night Live, “Lazy Sunday”‘s status as an early viral video helped establish YouTube as an important
  website.

• Discovery have also created and expanded their corporate YouTube channels to advertise to a larger audience.

• [43] That year, the company simplified its interface to increase the time users would spend on the site.

• [1] Since its purchase by Google, YouTube has expanded beyond the core website into mobile apps, network television, and the ability to link with other platforms.

• [178][179] For example, in October 2009, a comment search feature accessible under was implemented as part of this program.

• [79][80] Following criticisms of its implementation of those systems, YouTube started treating all videos designated as “made for kids” as liable under COPPA on January 6,
  2020.

• [11] Google’s ownership of YouTube expanded the site’s business model, expanding from generating revenue from advertisements alone, to offering paid content such as movies
  and exclusive content produced by YouTube.

• “[89][90][91] Shortly after the announcement, software developer Dmitry Selivanov created Return YouTube Dislike, an open-source, third-party browser extension for Chrome
  and Firefox that allows users to see a video’s number of dislikes.

• [176] Channels that the community tab becomes enabled for, get their channel discussions (previously known as channel comments) permanently erased, instead of co-existing
  or migrating.

• That site’s owner, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment, filed a lawsuit against YouTube in November 2006 after being regularly overloaded by people looking for YouTube.

• [187] In February 2009, YouTube announced a test service, allowing some partners to offer video downloads for free or for a fee paid through Google Checkout.

• [168] Then on November 3, 2016, YouTube announced a trial scheme which allows the creators of videos to decide whether to approve, hide or report the comments posted on videos
  based on an algorithm that detects potentially offensive comments.

• [78] YouTube was also ordered to create systems to increase children’s privacy.

• Later, on July 27, 2015, Google announced in a blog post that it would be removing the requirement to sign up to a Google+ account to post comments to YouTube.

• [146] Live streaming YouTube carried out early experiments with live streaming, including a concert by U2 in 2009, and a question-and-answer session with US President Barack
  Obama in February 2010.

• [63][64] These channel subscriptions complemented the existing Super Chat ability, launched in 2017, which allows viewers to donate between $1 and $500 to have their comment
  highlighted.

• [151] In May 2013, creation of live streams was opened to verified users with at least 1,000 subscribers; in August of the same year the number was reduced to 100 subscribers,[152]
  and in December the limit was removed.

• [84] In 2020, Roku removed the YouTube TV app from its streaming store after the two companies were unable to reach an agreement.

• [59] YouTube officially launched the “polymer” redesign of its user interfaces based on Material Design language as its default, as well a redesigned logo that is built around
  the service’s play button emblem in August 2017.

• [147] These tests had relied on technology from 3rd-party partners, but in September 2010, YouTube began testing its own live streaming infrastructure.

• YouTube stated that this would enhance “motion-intensive” videos, such as video game footage.

• YouTube introduced standardized widgets intended to replace annotations in a cross-platform manner, including “end screens” (a customizable array of thumbnails for specified
  videos displayed near the end of the video).

• In the mobile apps, users choose between “Auto”, which adjusts resolution based on the internet connection, “High Picture Quality” which will prioritize playing high-quality
  video, “Data saver” which will sacrifice video quality in favor of low data usage and “Advanced” which lets the user choose a stream resolution.

• @MrBeast) in addition to channel names, which would also become channel URLs.

• [189] In response, Zamzar removed the ability to download YouTube videos from its site.

• In 2006, Time praised Web 2.0 for enabling “community and collaboration on a scale never seen before”, and added that YouTube “harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as
  its wisdom.

• [188] In June 2012, Google sent cease and desist letters threatening legal action against several websites offering online download and conversion of YouTube videos.

• [32] Despite eventually being taken down, these duplicate uploads of the skit helped popularize YouTube’s reach and led to the upload of more third-party content.

• [121] In June 2007, YouTube added an option to watch videos in 3GP format on mobile phones.

• [67][68][69] The company also attempted to create products appealing to specific viewers.

• [107] In 2020, it launched video chapters as a way to structure videos and improve navigation.

• Users can verify their account, normally through a mobile phone, to gain the ability to upload videos up to 12 hours in length, as well as produce live streams.

• [75] YouTube later announced that they would continue with this move worldwide: “We continue to work closely with governments and network operators around the globe to do
  our part to minimize stress on the system during this unprecedented situation.

• [40][41] Google’s acquisition launched new newfound interest in video-sharing sites; IAC, which now owned Vimeo, focused on supporting the content creators to distinguish
  itself from YouTube.

• The Daily Telegraph commented in September 2008, that YouTube was “notorious” for “some of the most confrontational and ill-formed comment exchanges on the internet”, and
