YouTube was founded on February 14, 2005 by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim.
It is a website where anyone can create a profile and upload/share videos to the public.
You can access it easily with internet connection. They also have a YouTube app to access it even easier. It does not have a buy now feature. They make a profit because of all of the ads that pop up next to nearly every video. Companies pay YouTube to display their ads on their website.http://mashable.com/2011/02/19/youtube-facts/
