Video-sharing platforms offer users the ability to upload, share, and view video content. These platforms serve as alternatives for individuals and organizations seeking diverse content distribution channels. Examples include services that host user-generated videos, professional content, and live streams.
The proliferation of these services has democratized content creation and consumption. They provide avenues for independent creators to reach wide audiences, facilitate community building around shared interests, and offer viewers a vast library of on-demand entertainment and information. Historically, television networks and movie studios controlled video distribution; now, these platforms empower anyone with a camera and an internet connection.
