RUclips was in a very unique position by the time 2006 came around. As a byproduct of its popularity, RUclips set a precedent for what kind of challenges and customs video-sharing sites would have to confront moving forward, something that wasn’t really taken into account beforehand. It highlighted just how expensive video-hosting was, and as RUclips’s traffic increased, so did their expenses and demand for infrastructure. The site’s growing recognition as the seemingly boundless powerhouse of video content eventually caught the attention of the higher-ups, the corporations, and they too wanted a piece of the pie.
Legal issues, rising costs, and limited capital were now in the picture, and it was because of these key problems that RUclips’s days were now looking numbered. Was a website like this just too good to be true? The whole venture was just becoming unrealistic, and RUclips could no longer operate as some grass-root, independent company. It needed to become something more official. If you can’t beat the system, then become it. Give the industry something they now could not live without. Give them the future. And naturally, one company would step forward to wipe the slate clean and give RUclips the everlasting online presence that it deserved: a company called Google.
And then on October 9, 2006, history was made. What followed would arguably become one of the most controversial and influential business transactions in history: Google buying RUclips. This was a decision that is still felt today in a lot of areas, not even just on RUclips, but even in the digital realm outside of it.

I legit read this as N word pass 💀
YT to me is one of the most important websites and things in internet culture or whatever. The web wasn't as popular or mainstream when youtube came out and helped get ppl who wouldn't normally use the net to get on the net. The 2000s era of the net was pretty cool and interesting looking back with new stuff coming out.
💯
Funny to consider that Google is the very thing that kills RUclips nowadays.
The Company That Saved RUclips
@@LavaCreeperPeopleyes, that's the title of the video.
How so?
I'm not saying Google is the best company but I think any other company would have been worse. The sheer cost of video hosting means only a few large companies would be able to afford it and most of them are worse. Take Amazon's handling of twitch, which is exponentially worse.
The Company That Screwed Up RUclips
I swear to god, NationSquid has èlite quality of video yet he is not even at 500k. that's crazy, I watched all of this videos once again about 2-3 days ago, he deserves more.
Unfortunately, most of the the population is too attention deficient to be able to watch something technical like this.
no fr i was shook after watching all his videos a few months ago and then seeing how small he was
If yall love this type of attention to detail LEMINO is also a really good documentary type channel
I just wondered how he got the old RUclips, especially on internet explorer. There is the wayback machine, but its quite broken
Wow, I could have sworn he had like 985,000 subs. I've been following him for a long time and I never realized he's underrated af
I'm not saying NileRed and NationSquid are the same person because they sound the same. All I'm saying is I've never seen them doing voiceover in a room together.
Ngl I really thought it was him
to think that theres an alternate universe where we only use vimeo bc yt wasn't saved by google scares me
this guy should have at least a million for the quality of the content he makes, criminally underrated
You forgot to mention about the fact that uploaded videos on Google Video had to actually be manually reviewed by real people at Google and would take weeks to be public. This was their way of combating copyright infringement before content ID existed.
at my school, youtube was blocked but for a very brief window of time, there was absolutely nothing they could do about google video
so there, see, there was one main group of people using google video - people at school who couldn't access youtube
I rly didn't think it was bad
nationsquid's channel is one of the most underated channels on the youtube platform. his content is very well edited.
True
Do you have any recommendations of similar channels?
@@elysianblu idk disrupt...
@@elysianbluGubby or Tuv
Infographics? Idk-@@elysianblu
Your videos are so entertaining, also your voice is very easy to listen to. I would genuinely listen to a podcast if you made one and I get distracted easily when i have nothing to look at, so that's saying something. You're very underrated and deserve way more than 300k subs 💕
I’d love a nationsquid podcast! I always think he’d make a fab podcast!
I think we can ALL agree I have nice hair, but NationSquid's hair is even nicer.
You are the most underrated guy on RUclips. You should have at least 3-5mil, but some people are greedy when it comes to computer/computer virus-related channels. I really hope you reach that Milestone some day!
Mil is an abbreviation of k in my language, so when I read your comment I was like "he has more than that " lol
@@BerryStudiosOFC lmao 😂. It would literally be an insult if I said that he deserves less subscribers 😂
RUclips: You saved us!
Google: Oh, I wouldn't say "saved", more like "under new management"
"i'd probably be watching Murder She Wrote at 3 in the morning" so true, it's strange to think about the days before all our on demand choices now. in the 90s, cable was a godsend compared to the 4 channels of UK terrestrial tv, but cable was still prescribed content, and having to wait a week for the next episode.
YT, and goku, are my sites for watching vids, and spotify for music rather than the CD collection or mp3 downloads.
it's crazy how fast things are changing that we hardly notice it
Yet again, another fantastic work y'all!
Just wish you guys would have mentioned the "009 Sound System" song that was RUclips's first measurement to deal with copyrighted songs in their users videos.
Please make a video about the *Internet Archive* (wayback machine)
My favourite RUclipsr at the moment! Your videos have a really high production value, crisp and clean editing, and interesting subject matter! You deserve so many more subscribers! Also regular uploads!! I’d be super interested if you ever made a podcast as I’d love to listen!
it's amazing we could still watch alot of copyrighted content here.
See what’s fascinating to me is how in the google video days a google employee had to manually approve your video where as now the content id system does it automatically and it can detect copyrighted content and various other things that break tos I’m wondering how that technology came about because clearly AI must be involved right? But back then? No way machine learning was that advanced
Actually there is a huge repository of copyrighted media libraries given by the IP holder companies, and content ID is matched up by identical data when matched up against that database.
5:35 "sims 2 fanfiction"
The first RUclips video I saw was embedded in a myspace page. Did I just age myself??
A little off topic @nationsquid but I thought it was so cool finding out that you too are a Buddy Holly fan. I am a big Buddy Holly fan myself. I know this may not be tech related, but have you ever thought of putting together a Buddy Holly documentary?
I almost did this a few years ago actually!!! Just a bit hard with copyrights and all. Once I get clearance on that though it is for sure happening!
@nationsquid Oh cool! Aww yes, that makes sense!
I remember basically watching all of Naruto on RUclips in the mid 2000s. Good times.
great content glad i found this growing channel and cant wait to see where you take it!
on some linux distros the first time you use the sudo command it says "with great power, comes with great responsibility"
Which is a "Spider-Man" reference… and I mean WAY before the movies!!
The specific phrasing "with great power comes great responsibility" evolved from Spider-Man's first appearance in the 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15, written by Stan Lee. It is not spoken by any character, but instead appears in a narrative caption of the comic book's last panel…
I think maybe RUclips lost it's way when they started paying the video creators.
I like how youtube was saved by google and great video man :]
the old internet was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better
We now have ads everywhere on RUclips, not only once before the start of a video.
when we needed him the most, he's back with a new vid
why not do a video about the
"sopa and pipa blackout" where Internet users fight against Internet censorship by people at the government back in 2011 to 2012 when online piracy was a big issue at the time
Suggested video idea: The Downfall of Skype
Ah RUclips red. I remember watching Lazer Team in cinemas, not knowing who Rooster Teeth were and my friend and I still quote it to this day
Omg. This video just unlocked the long forgotten memory of Google Video being a thing
2:49 I still hate that they opened that horrible mess called TikTok instead of RUclips
RUclips swx.
You don't find out just how bad.
Until you become a prolific content creator.
Nothing at all comes back to you, except grief, for all the work you put into this bottomless hole time sink.
And now RUclips is preventing users from using AdBlock, fuck RUclips man and the ads, can't stop me
I love that zack from real estate wizard is becoming a normal here 😀
when i see this channel i completely forget that it dosent have Millions of subs Like How Are You Still At K? Really Underatted!
17:49 age like fine wine.
copyright laws are kind of the worst part of neo-capitalism : (
Dang, you really can't decide on a title for this one lol
(jk, great video XD)
Is that a picture beatles for sale in the background?
Ah, the irony. Google saved RUclips, but is now killing it, but there’s no alternative to RUclips anyway.
rumble?
There _is_ an alternative, it's called PH.
@@harukami912 dedicated to a different culture
Top eight alternatives to RUclips
- Odysee
- Rumble
- Bit chute
- Vidlii
- Vimeo
- Bitview
- PeerTube
- Libry
@@harukami912 LMAO
google has killed youtube
funny thing that now google is destroying youtube even though they saved it over a decade ago and now i know why susan took over as ceo of youtube because she was leading the google video project i remember seeing google video years ago
The copyright claims are now getting too fake. 3 years ago, I made an instrumental cover of the USSR anthem. I literally used my own style and instruments. I got a copyright claim from someone located in the UK. I was like "God, this is literally a national communist anthem. Why would anyone claim it as theirs?" That was silly.
This channel deserves more subscribers for this high quality content, can we get him to atleast 500k subscribers everybody?
Considering the dumpster fire Twitter sold for 44billion what’s RUclips worth now? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤡🤡🤡🤡🌍🌍🌍🌍
0:13 Bankotsu yes 😩
NationSquid deserves more subs!
Well thats fun that the CEO of yt was against these stupid ads before videos but google being google (asholes) decided to do it anyways
to think the only reason it became a video sharing site was because they wanted to upload a nip slip from Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl 😔
Nationsquid is way too underrated! He deserves so many more subs
I think that for a RUclipsr to be good there are 20 points for voice and 10 for content which is why I rate you 30/30
That live was amazing
so something i had no idea existed at all existed through to 2012??
*the company that killed youtube
Great Video, Well done, deserves more views
HERE BEFORE VIRAL AND THIS VIDEO IS ACTUALLY AWESOME
_looks at channel list_
Oh, blue dot...
_clicks channel, clicks new video_
Oh, it’s not actually a new video, it’s a future video. -_-
Horray you got Leo's name correct! Good job! You get a cookie!
Cool vid. Interesting story!
☠BLACK BARON☠ The Apple Emoji panel and the Google RUclips Emoji panel ... there are days in web development ... they don't like each other very much.
Looks like YT has a new interface for those not logged in....Hhrmmm.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Very good video!
I remember the early days of RUclips it was like the wild west
I recently got a message from RUclips that said that someone said my newest video had copyrighted material, and that it won't get a flag if I don't go further to earn money off of it… my objective wasn't to be partner or anything, I just uploaded content that I made when I went live on Twitch!! 😒😒
I tried uploading a video from Panic! At The Disco’s Calendar Business documentary…and it immediately got a copyright slapped on it. No warning whatsoever. I’m still mad about that.
yo nice vid keep up the good work
While watching this, I forgot I was actually watching in this on RUclips itself.
4:07 These go to eleven! 😂💻
Imo, this was the beginning of the end for the internet.
Paramount … Taking down all my ai SpongeBob’s …
This dude is the new SummoningSalt!
My concern is that if it's (RUclips) not earning money directly then it's earning via spying on users
Yay! Another video to entertain me!
If Google never took over RUclips, It will no longer exist as the original owners needed help to make money off it.
wow i never realized so many of your subs are literal children until watching the live chat
Seems to be this way for all live chats
4:38
Lmao geometry dash reference!1!1 12:26
wherr
Limbo
@@Hexi75 bro that existed before gd
I know but it is an actual level in GD called limbo so I'm technically right
@@Hexi75 nationsquid prolly wasnt referencing GD
he might be referencing the real limbo
DAMMIT I MISSED THE STREAM
RUclips became the proaganda arm of google.
Didnt it make its first profit recently?
Like the first video in the series, the second is gonna be great (Hopefully)
I miss the old RUclips, where content creators didn't have to be careful about what words they say.
Yeah and the moderation is all done by AI that doesn't understand context.
This video is gonna be fire like all the others.
This premier thing is pretty cool
It's too bad that Google dropped their do no evil policy.
Google saved youtube then promptly turned it into garbage
i was the last one to chat in the live chat. but good vid
you cant see it cause it was after it ended but before the chat ended
what an accomplishment!
Google came to make RUclips garbage... so many stupid things that they do, I hate them.
I really disagree with “Google saved RUclips”. Google just took RUclips and turned it into a site made to please other companies, just like with Google video. “Google saved RUclips” my foot.
heyy!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*>Saved*
Kek, you misspelled RUNIED.
So did you.
@@croppedrubbish
That’s the joke.
@@ViIgax I used to be great at picking up jokes. Guess I should start working on that again.
are we gonna talk about 'sims 2 fanfiction'
👍
Lol only 1.6b for the second most visited website on the planet today😢
Let's look on the bright side, Elon Musk could've been the one who bought YT.
