It was created to allow anyone to publish whatever they wanted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unboxing, shopping hauls and morning routine videos were all made possible by the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube has been one of Gen Z&#8217;s favorite diversions since the early 2010s, but many of the top creators have already shut down their channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video streaming platform was founded on February 14, 2005, and some of its most popular, meme-inspiring videos, such as &#8220;Charlie Bit My Finger&#8221; and &#8220;Friday&#8221; were uploaded in the early years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rebecca Black, the creator of the song <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friday<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was one of the most Googled names in 2011 and she returned to music in 2021 with a remix of the song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even today&#8217;s most popular artists, such as Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara and Justin Bieber, got their start on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although YouTube used to support popular creators, it appears that the platform has abandoned them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2011, YouTube&#8217;s initial, creator-centric motto &#8220;Broadcast yourself&#8221; was removed from the website and the site began to shift in a different, less creator-centric direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many popular YouTubers like Joey Graceffa, Tyler Oakley and Alfie Deyes left the platform for various reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They said the company&#8217;s general lack of communication left them feeling furious, forgotten and confused. When creators put in a lot of effort to make videos that don&#8217;t do well, the experience can be detrimental to their mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform did not allow for breaks and instead expected consistency in upload schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the content creators were not designed to engage with thousands of people every day, instead they were heavily affected by the huge volume of feedback they received.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, we saw Viners that had preexisting fanbases join Youtube soon after the app was shut down. Their content was problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Logan Paul filmed some terrible footage in Japan&#8217;s Aokigahara forest. It showed the body of a man who had committed suicide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youtuber PewDiePie produced a reaction video with an anti-Semitic remark, as well as an influx of terrorist recruitment films.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn&#8217;t until 2020 that YouTubers were held accountable for their inappropriate behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star are two examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor contributing to the decline in YouTube interest is TikTok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although TikTok was founded in 2016, it grew rapidly during the COVID-19 outbreak.
