🔒 Closed YouTube was created to be a dating site.

YouTube.com was registered on February 14th, 2005 (Valentine’s day) with the purpose of being a video-dating site. It was designed as a way for people to upload videos of themselves talking about the partner of their dreams.

But after some time when no one was uploading their videos, YouTube changed to allow uploading of any kind of video.
