YouTube, the second most visited website in the world (the first of course is Google) and the second biggest social media platform (the first is Facebook), is getting stronger day by day with its increasing usage rates and developing content alternatives. Now, defining itself as a “Video Search Engine”, YouTube, together with its owner Google, leaves its competitors far behind.
YouTube, of course, is a video watching platform. However, the live broadcast feature of YouTube, which has gained considerable strength recently, has turned this platform into a television channel. YouTube, where everyone can easily produce content and broadcast live, has enabled brands or individuals to share special events and communicate with their followers with the “Join” feature.
