I'm going to find one for the first. It is in this https://youtu.be/_b4qKv1Ctv8?t=8071

The second one is pretty obvious, Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005.

With what we know of Peter Thiel I think the burden of proof is on you that he doesn't make use of the knowledge he has on specific network work effects of youtube.

Just like he installed Donald Trump with Facebook in the White House.




Those are the founders of YouTube. The Rogan podcast has a YouTube presence but started on UStream and (pre Spotify) appears to have earned money the way many other podcasts do (sponsorships read into the podcas ) and used all the usual distribution channels including open podcast feeds. I’m sure there is some YouTube revenue in the mix but seems pretty incidental. I don’t think Thiel has anything to do with funding the Rogan podcast.


I’m baffled by the hostility and conspiracy theorizing Thiel provokes on this forum.

Maybe people are intimidated by his intelligence and contrarian stances?


Some students look for answers in the back of the book and then figure out how to show work which gets those answers. If you do this long enough, it turns into a cult-like reverence for "the right/approved answers".

Thiel's reasoning on one thing or another may be flawed, but he definitely doesn't work this way. And he has a ton of money. So that can make the back-of-bookers both irritated and resentful.
