Not personal anecdote... but it tickles me that YouTube was a dating site idea.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoAnd if you google "origin youtube" you get some series, but the Wikipedia page says: the original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service, and had been influenced by the website Hot or Not. They created posts on Craigslist asking attractive females to upload videos of themselves to YouTube in exchange for a $100 reward. Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site's founders deciding to accept uploads of any type of video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#History
