TikTok and Youtube are two notable social media platforms that have gained so many users within the past few years. But within the recent time period, TikTok has become the trend for creation, view, share, and like of short videos. This has not only gained popularity but also caused some competition with social media applications like Instagram and YouTube.
YouTube was established in 2005 by three former PayPal employees – Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley. It became renowned among people for its multipurpose uses like watching, viewing, creating, sharing, liking, and commenting on videos.
