YouTube turns 20
22.02.25
On February 14, 2005, the Internet experienced one of its most significant transformations — on this day, the video hosting YouTube was launched, which over two decades changed media consumption and became a key platform for cultural and social change.
YouTube not only displaced traditional media, but also formed a new digital ecosystem where content creators evolved from amateur videos to full-scale studio projects. Today, it is a source of news, analytics, entertainment content and expert materials, and its audience includes billions of users around the world.
