Establishment of pipeline:
On Valentine's Day in 2005, YouTube was founded by three former PAYPAL employees, including Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and javed Karim. Unemployed and in debt, steve chen and Holly came up with a plan to watch online videos in the garage and asked Karim for help, so YouTube was born.
Its original intention was to facilitate sharing video clips between friends, and later it gradually became a memory bank for netizens and a publishing place for works. On April 23rd, 2005, Karim uploaded the first YouTube movie, which was only 19 seconds long. In the film, Karim stands in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo in California and says, "These guys have long noses. That's cool. "
