What is Youtube?
Youtube is an online community or hub that offers convenient access to a wide range of videos and content. It also serves as a platform for creators and aspiring creators alike to post and share video content that they can monetize and interact with those on the site. Youtube is one of the largest and most popular streaming applications on the Internet and has gained popularity with over a billion users sharing their content, vlogs, or even boosting personal brands.
