Right..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the main idea of launching YouTube was to let people find their perfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Co-founders launched YouTube and asked people to share their videos stating their likes, dislikes, interests, etc so that they could find that one person from the viewers as their match.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.incrementors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Hot-or-Not-1024x310.jpg\" alt=\"Dating App\" class=\"wp-image-68357\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, the co-founders (Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen) found that their idea of making YouTube a dating app was not working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People were shy about uploading their videos because it seemed a bit creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So later, the co-founders dropped the idea of continuing YouTube as a dating app and allowed people to upload their videos randomly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a turning point for them as it gained more interest from people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the time when one of the co-founders, Jawed Karim, uploaded a video of him in 2005, which was <strong><em>\u201cMee at the Zoo.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was officially the first video uploaded to YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here the site took a massive fly and became the biggest video-sharing platform in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>2.
