The early 2000s were an experimental but very innovative time for the internet. Millions of users and brilliant thinkers around the world were seemingly doing the impossible while also facing technological obstacle after obstacle, with this including the concept of widespread digital video. However, through a series of unrelated historical events, the introduction of new online technologies, and the synergy of three knowledgeable and creative PayPal employees, Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim were able to find the solution in 2005 with their new website: YouTube. Initially a failed dating website, the development of YouTube was by no means a cakewalk, but rather a journey filled with trial and error, competition, legal battles that would manifest later down the line, and even some tension between the creators themselves. This is the first installment of a new series covering the history of YouTube. Zackary Smigel is helping me on this series.
