Do you know why the YouTube logo is red? Any thoughts on what Janet Jackson has to do with the creation of the platform? Oh YouTube, the website we know today as a resource for your instructional videos on how to make everything from cabinets to bongs, or watching video game walkthroughs, or perhaps even comedy sketches, started with a completely different reason in mind. In this episode we walk through how YouTube became YouTube (the founders and what their intentions were), and the early influencers of the platform, people like Brookers, one of the original creators who became huge and then whose content is now largely gone. We get into it.
