youtube is way more addictive than facebook and instagram.

The fact that I'm watching a video about UKposts on UKposts is very meta.

Where can I find this so called "UKposts" website? Sounds interesting.

Honored to be a small part of this amazing piece!

If Facebook, Instagram and TikTok all closed down tomorrow I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep. However if UKposts closed down I would be Devastated!!!

Finally, a short *UKposts* documentary on *UKposts.* 😃

“UKposts IS FREE” then shows an ad wanting me to go Premium.

Ive learned more life skills on UKposts in the last 15 years than all my years of school and work combined.

"You can become a millionaire overnight by uploading a video" ummm no. Not even close! Even if you did that the odds are like winning the lottery. Viral videos have very low CPMs. A viral video may establish a channel but it's even rarer that lightining strikes same place twice.

The crazy thing is now UKposts is used as an educational platform: There are science videos, physics videos, engineering videos, technology videos--and, heck, even mini-documentaries...all made by people. That is absolutely nuts. UKposts has become so much more than people thought, and I can't wait to see what comes next. What *is* next? User-created, professional-quality documentaries, being able to be watched for free?

How to learn and study during the pandemic: 1. Google 2. UKposts my two best teachers

The fact that UKposts could provide more education than schools and colleges combined, could provide is simply awesome. It's time to reform educational system a lot.

ironically when the youtube's CEO started her own channel, it was disaster.

This video glances over one of the biggest reasons UKposts became THE dominate video website early on. It revolutionized flash video buffering. Previously players had to buffer almost 50% of a video before it could start to be played. This was a significant amount of time in the 2005-2006 era. UKposts got that preloader time down to under 5 seconds. Without that, its likely that we'd be watching this report on a different website (still likely bought by Google).

I learnt how to build my first PC on youtube, i learnt how to configure and deploy a server on youtube, i learnt how to drive a manual on youtube, i learnt how to weld on youtube, i learnt how to buy a house on youtube. For someone that is a visual learner.... UKposts has been an amazing tool that i can't quantify

didnt youtube became popular because it was free?nothing like those greed cable companies...

UKposts then: watch a whole TV series Now: at least two ads on every video

I am so addicted to youtube..i dont know what will happen to me if it stops existing one day...

I like CNBC. They bring some nice worthy information to peoples attention

They uploaded this on UKposts. So meta!!

CNBC, can you do a video on Roku’s rise to dominance? The CEO is an incredibly smart, strategic guy who always seems to be light years ahead of everyone. He also invented the DVR.

Can't imagine life without UKposts. Especially in this lockdown.

What is the http address of utub

This being suggested to me on UKposts is highly monopoly territory.

As a heavy youtube user I can say that it is the only game in town. We need a less restrictive platform to emerge. I don't have a problem with dangerous content being removed or *hate speech, hate speech isn't protected speech, so there is no controversy. But sometimes they wield their strike policy arbitrarily. *I'm sorry, but hate speech IS protected speech by the US supreme court, but is not under UKposts's policy.

I just thought about it and realised that i’ve been watching youtube all day since i got my first smartphone(2015). I can’t remember a single day i missed watching youtube no matter where i am!

I'm old enough to remember when it started. Not that many people knew it existed, and I didn't tell anyone about it because it was a fantastic low-key thing to have.

I mean really UKposts is king. You find everything in UKposts.

UKposts recommends:

A UKposts video about UKposts... interesting.

_“Without UKposts, life would be a mistake!”_ - Frederick Nietzsche.

What sets UKposts apart from other social media websites is that you still can easily find really good original content here, made by amateurs, small teams, or professionals. There's animation, guides, reviews, tutorials, full scale documentaries about any subject you can and can't imagine. And it's all open, profiles in YT don't feel restricted and you can be recommended anything anytime. When you compare this to Facebook, Instagram and other social media, profiles and feeds are more closed on their own bubbles, content boils down to photos of unknown people, angry comments and insane ramblings about conspiracy theories, stolen memes and videos from other websites. The reason i still have to use FB and other SM is because of college and jobs, but i tray to avoid as much as possible. I would gladly delete all my SM accounts but keep using UKposts.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein.

UKposts is the greatest thing on the planet. A depository of historical significance. Yes, ads are increasing but the content is endless.

Removing "inappropriate" content is the major problem for UKposts and for freedom of sheech.

I've always found many surprisingly wonderful videos on youtube rather than other platforms..

I've noticed their music recommendations have really improved recently.

UKposts Music has replaced Google Play Music

UKposts will easily take over mainstream media - so much more personalised and easier to watch whenever you want 🙂

So Netflix spent $17 billion this year, but cancelled Hasan Minaj.

UKposts be like: Put this in recommended, don’t my if I do!

I've had my UKposts account for 11 years. That's dedication 🥲

I don’t remember the last time I didn’t watch UKposts everyday

UKposts made a LOT of people rich and famous.

I liked YT when people weren't getting monetization from it. Now its just full of scammers and click baits.

Grandpas talking about tik tok taking over UKposts as I'm laughing hysertically.

High time we have a competitor for you tube

As a Flight Attendant commuter, I subscribe to UKposts Premium and download videos for when I'm in a passenger seat. So much variety. Documentaries, Stand up comedy, sports clips. Love it. So much as well for the imagination of youtube creators.

UKposts is legendary for getting a lot of mainstream media on the platform.

Never mentioned actual youtubers that made this platform great.

UKposts runs too many ads nowadays. They on purpose make us get annoyed , really youtube us going too far.

UKposts has crushed it. It’s come a long way since those early days when it would compete with Daily Motion.

This is just the thing I would want to watch. Detailed, unbiased and truthful description towards this business model - UKposts.

Surprised CNBC didn't do a CNBC analysis video

I love UKposts! Learning has never been so fun and endless. Almost always entertaining as well. And when UKposts premium sent me a google home speaker for free that did me in. Although I enjoy the ads now well some of them anyway. UKposts is getting us through the lockdowns. My algorithm really knows me now. Love it.

I wish they would stop their war against content creators that don't sellout to UKposts's personal agenda.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UKposts channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 861 subs and > 500 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Did everyone forget about vine? Wasn’t tiktok just a copy of vine?

15:16 whoever wrote in the script that tik tok is youtube's biggest threat clearly only watches only one type of youtube videos

Honestly I’m really grateful for what UKposts is. A year ago I started streaming regularly and had 100 subscribers, now I’m at almost 2k subscribers and make enough to pay a few small bills a month. My only regret is that I didn’t buckle down and start sooner

Literally it's so amazing to see how UKposts works ( both in video & watch the video )

Because almost everyone is using it 🤣 even the news stations.

Great video, thanks for making it!!

It's popularity is immense and they're not going away anytime soon. You can almost watch any video of any category on there. Easy way for youtube creators as well and they've become popular too.

I dont have any account on Facebook, tweeter, instagram, netflix, tik tok, and whatnot. But without youtube its difficult to imagine the possibility of human civilization to progress.

"It has this incredible price, called free."... More like, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product.

I'm watching this on UKposts right now.

I remember when I discovered UKposts, it took me about half an hour of buffering to watch movie trailers. I think that was 2008

Very interesting how youtube made history and keeps going forward to teach people how to be more interactive to the world

Ah, almost forgot I was watching this on youtube

UKposts is basically an online library of How to..on pretty much on anything and everything

Around 2011/2012 youtube algorithm changed. Remember when you used to get lost into parts of youtube you never expected to find? That was because the recommendation videos where an open world of similar content you had not seen, but was relative to the content you where watching. So you where discovering artist, creators and content you've never heard before. Now it's a giant bubble of each one of us. A giant echo bubble of you. It keeps you within you boundaries. It doesn't open you to explore new content that can appeal to you. It keeps you rewatching similar content within your boundaries. I hate that if I watch a video of how to make a cake today because I need a recipe, it continues to show me cakes 5 weeks later. Or if I'm a watching music videos or im on a journey of X type of content, the recommendation video are showing me searches I did 3 weeks ago. Why isn't youtube recommendations keeping up with my actual searching instead of trying to shove me with content that I'm not interested right now? I used to love when you con drift away for hours finding new content in the recommendations. Now it just a big echo bubble of you!!!

When I saw Jon Rettinger open the video I though I was on his chanell... Such a great guy and a nice voice.... It reminds me to go and check his latest videos....

Quiting facebook was a lot easier, Any advise to cutting back on youtube.

UKposts has come full circle with this video.

whether you are small or big, your contribution, whatever it is, has kept this entertainment alive! Thank you all!

UKposts is a very search engine, you can find a lot of things, learn, entertainment... There isn't more useful website in my opinion. Do you agree? not? Let me see in the comments, justify your answer. Thanks and God bless you.

UKposts really sneaking this in my recommended

I love youtube, I use it and youtube music so much. The youtube premium membership is worthwhile to me

This is good content. UKposts is a juggernaut and it’s nice to see videos about the medium

Such an excellent report. It is great to see Jon in the report. He is one of the founders of Tech review industry on UKposts.

UKposts is just addictive always finding myself at 3am watching

Imagine how many tens of millions of high capacity hardisk Google has installed in their gigantic server farms spread across the globe. That's not all, just imagine how many millions of petabytes of video contents sitting idle in UKposts servers eating gigantic chunks of the spaces that nobody watch it anymore.

YT has come a looong way. I remember in 2006 when it was mainly for quirky, home-made videos but now it's a huge commercial mosh pit. Now there's an influx of YT "celebrities", live streaming and viral content. You can literally get lost on this site.

UKposts is the masterpiece of the internet, its founders are underrated!

12:21 wasn't that the guy who said: "f*** off , I'm on live telly!"?

Sometimes I feel so sad when creators and users are always bashing youtube for their systems. I think we have so so much to appreciate about UKposts and should be so thankful to its team for it. They are trying their best everyday to make this platform better. I cannot imagine the countless number of lives they have improved or even have taken to the next level in some cases. Nothing can be perfect and youtube is not an exception.

Jon, I love your content. Keep up the good work.

I remember when hosting a video would cost money, because it should cost you money to stream data on a server to millions of people. YT really took over with that unbeatable price. I just hope they keep it as ad free as possible

Next : How Shane Diesel became such a Giant.

been waiting for this video a long long time ago

Ive fixed my car because of youtube. Ive learned so many new things on youtube. Ive made a lot of money on eBay reselling particular items and learned where to find because of you-tuber ebayer resellers. I gladly pay for youtube premium service monthly! Watch it more than anything else. I love it!

Who's watching on UKposts?

Hope CNBC can do a similar video about Google map.

What made youtube a good platform is not only when google acquired it. Even before many people are going to youtube because watching videos is very smooth and fast unlike in google video or other company websites. Also it provides the ability for people to upload videos easily and fast which then gave birth to content contribution from any random people. I remember back in 06 i have a digicam and i uploaded our video on youtube becuase ot was so user friendly

How popular is UKposts. When the website went down recently. There were roughly 800 Heart attacks reported. I was one of those patients. If they ever go down again, I might have to Jump.

UKposts is the ULTIMATE SOURCE FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND I LOVE IT
