YouTube celebrated ten years in the game recently and the video-sharing platform has come a long way since the first video was posted back in 2005.
The site has enjoyed phenomenal success over the past decade, quickly becoming the go-to site for everything video-related and opening up a new platform for advertisers to peddle their wares. We all hate the little snippets of commercials we have to endure before watching the video we’re after, but people actually flock to YouTube to watch adverts these days.
Case in point is the fact that last year, four out of the 10 most-watched videos were commercials, and now the search is on for YouTube’s favourite ad of all time. They have narrowed the list down to 20 finalists, and we’ve done the honours of handpicking five for your enjoyment.
You can head over and check out the full list HERE, with voting closing in around eight days time.
Unfortunately this never made the final list, but just for old time’s sake let’s go down memory lane.
