Nick's intro[]

The origin of Facebook, created by wax statue of himself Mark Zuckerberg to rate the attractiveness of his fellow Harvard co-eds, has been well-documented. But less known is the origin of YouTube, a platform similarly powerful in shaping internet culture and similarly responsible for disrupting global politics via opaque algorithms.

Like Zuckerberg's former FaceMash, YouTube was conceived by horny, young tech bros with dating on the brain. A trio of Paypal ex-pats started the site in 2005 for eager singles to upload video dating profiles, but as more general content took hold, they shifted to become the internet's video clearinghouse and in 2006, the site sold to Google for 1.65 billion dollars.

The platform became known for early accidental hits like "Charlie Bit My Finger," "Leave Britney Alone," and "Chocolate Rain," all of which pre-dated the term "viral video" and made celebrities out of its stars.

And YouTube also berthed a different kind of celebrity: video bloggers, or vloggers, who uploaded diaries, rants, and skits often in character as broad stereotypes that found traction with younger audiences.

By 2016, the word "Youtuber" had been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, and OG vloggers like Smosh, Shane Dawson, and Fred watched as the torch was passed to a new generation, including a Kansas teenager named Jimmy Donaldson.

In 2017, Donaldson broke through with a video where he counted to 100,000 in real time and similar outlandish stunts became his bread and butter. Today, Donaldson has nearly 100 million subscribers and over 10 billion views. And in another eye-popping number that shows his philanthropic side, he's raised 22 million dollars for the Arbor Day Foundation via his Team Trees org. In fact, many of his videos include spontaneous gifts of cash and prizes to unsuspecting subjects, the kind of wholesome content that could appeal to even the biggest Youtube skeptic.

But Donaldson's ambitions extend beyond his Youtube channels. In December 2020, he surprise-launched a ghost kitchen named for his online pseudonym: a smash-burger concept featuring over-the-top sandwiches and fries. Its flash success reflected his staggering aptitude for virality, as the restaurant's app went to the top of the charts and its 300+ locations sold out in short order.

But will the splashy launch grow into sustained post-pandemic success?

Or like a viral video, will it burn bright and slow fade into a distant flame?
