YouTube was not the only platform back then but I agree it dwarfs what is around now
there were very very very few platforms where you could post and share streaming video online when YouTube was new.
it was certainly the only free option. the internet was quite young then if you don't remember.
other platforms rose up around their success, but I'm pretty sure YouTube was more or less unique when it started.
Wasn't dailymotion and liveleak around before YouTube? And it took YouTube some time before it became the mammoth it is now
I was going to say vimeo but checked the dates to make sure I remembered right - looks like it was up even before youtube 2004 vs 2005.
oh wow, i thought for sure it came later. i should stop making snap comments when m waking up.
