What is YouTube?

| | --------| YouTube is a video-sharing platform where one can upload a video, watch someone's video, and share it with others. YouTube was founded back in 2005 and is now owned by Google. According to some data, it's over 2 billion monthly active users. You can generate and upload your content by creating a channel on YouTube. The same content can be monetized if it's your original content and is not copyrighted. While some upload content, others view it and are engaged in the comment section. There's a like and dislike option as well with a subscription button which is more like being a follower of the respective channel. ![pexels-photo (1).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW63ShdpuGFdMeSPT4pKbEtNZtbC87nXbQEJhEpc7ZqtB/pexels-photo%20(1).jpg) [Source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-space-gray-iphone-5-34407/) |My YouTube Channel| | - | I have a YouTube channel with more than 51,000 subscribers.

Apart from that, he's content in he helped and supporting many families. For example, he built 100 houses for the needy and gave them, built 100 wells in Africa, etc. ![Screenshot_20240827-190252.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZBFnZBVJkGoCaz8nxhgQ4g73b73qa72TE3MoS58iFPtj/Screenshot_20240827-190252.jpg) ^{Screenshot from YouTube app} In the end, I want to say that many people will be agree with me while few may not, this is what the difference of opinion is and that is what leads the world forward. ***Thanks for being here!*** ![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQxbmmFZqRLkaZ6y9xpMNCGnpeSy6saZBPNyEiUu4B4Ef/C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png) inviting @tommyl33 @beemengine and @ripon0630 to take part in the contest. ![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQxbmmFZqRLkaZ6y9xpMNCGnpeSy6saZBPNyEiUu4B4Ef/C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png) ***Regards,*** ***@jalil654*** ![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQxbmmFZqRLkaZ6y9xpMNCGnpeSy6saZBPNyEiUu4B4Ef/C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iNvFCJzqoA9C9wDS4x3vhCwFrmeF6c4pVdZsTqJEjgoYJP1hipivzs2v2iK2pQ1JkjXfSzwyAva.png)
