It is free, and most importantly most of the people upload videos to youtube, so of course visitors go there.
because people can relate to the clips posted by fellow youtubers...unlike professionally edited ones shown on tv like americas-funniest-home-videos, same concept, but much larger scale http://abc.go.com/shows/americas-funniest-home-videos
I like to add that youtube may be wildly popular.. but the band width costs so much they are still not profitable .. maybe eventually google will divest it like TM with AOL
It's popular because it's "the" place to share videos online, one of the first and word-of-mouth (like Google) has taken it obviously to a whole new level. It's also free.
In my opinion, its because youtube is one of the most advertised site all over the world. You can see some videos from youtube that are aired in my country's local channel. There are watermarks of it (Courtesy of Youtube).
i think, the best thing about youtube is that one can view all type of video free and fast. That's why it's so popular.
Hi Abhishek86, Not really all type of video. You can't watch some previous episodes of some TV shows because its not allowed so not all video.
Because youtube provides everything that we need. There are so many videos are available with categories. It helps to Peoples to learning new things from watching videos.
youtube has lots of video, good design & domain name, also top rank in google..... it is getting daily millions visitors... more and more it is getting popularity...... though it is very popular...
