Jawed's on a mission to save the Elephants. In all seriousness, what i do know is that he travels around a lot, has a passion for photography and he has several small companies/businesses but keeps out of public life. He disappeared the same way MySpace Tom has lol and i don't blame them at all.

They truly changed the world. As a late teen in the early 80s my favourite band was The Talking Heads. Little did I know that soon so many people would be talking heads, doing their own news shows and programming. I’m grateful for Mr. Law in using his talents to educate me on the history of KZbin. All quite amazing.

[@Luigiscoutman]

Great research! glad the gods of youtube algorithm guided me here

[@ANTUBER]

Very nice and accurate video, but there is one thing you got wrong at 1:21 The whole "youtube is inspired by a wardrobe malfunction" thing is a myth and was called to be total bs by one of the founders. In reality, they were desperate for company ideas after they wanted to leave PayPal (which is cause eBay was a total pos) and after tons of ideas, they settled with a video sharing site because of how revolutionary it would be at the time.

[@JusdoinstuF]

great summary

[@DonnaIRL]

Hurley was probably willing to get sued and pay that fine in hopes that Kim/Kanye footage would motivate consumers to download his app.

[@LurkerDood]

Imagine I created KZbin & sold it for only $1.65 billion I think I would've committed suicide just thinking every monetized KZbin video, I could've taken a 45% cut 😬🤮 Owning KZbin is like having your own Money Printing Machine

[@Raihan__4535]

But they had no choice.they had not enough resources to carry on and develop you tube

[@LurkerDood]

@@Raihan__4535 Yea, who knows when they would've figured out how to monetize KZbin, get advertisers onboard, getting all the stats in place etc... They could've tried to get a loan of a couple hundred million & hired the best video monetizers around You see all these kids being millionaires, if the Founders hadn't sold every monetized KZbin video they'll get a 45% cut of ad revenues The Founders could've been the richest guys on Earth in just a few years Hard not to commit suicide just thinking about all the richest gone 🤔 😆 🤣 🙄

I only know Jawed Karim, he simply wanted to see Janet Jackson's uncensored wardrobe malfunction in her Super Bowl performance, but there was no site to circulate those videos. He would have to either endlessly search sites to find the video or look for obscure VHS and DVD tapes. 1:07. 1:19.
