WATCH: This is the first ever YouTube video

Ever wondered what the first ever YouTube video was?

Well it is called Me At The Zoo and was uploaded by one of the founders Jawed Karim on 23 April 2005. He was recorded by his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky. He had created the account that same day.  It has gone onto pick up 54.7 million views to date. Sounds impressive until you see Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s Despacito is on 5.5 billion and some change as of 15 September 2018.

A year and a half later, the founders would sell the site for $1.65 billion to Google.

Watch it below. It is not interesting really, but oh well.
