Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65
billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's
subsidiaries.
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add
to favorites, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to
other users. Available content includes video clips, TV show
clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio
recordings, movie trailers and other content such as video
blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.

Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by
individuals, but media corporations including CBS, the
BBC, Vevo, and Hulu offer some of their material via
YouTube as part of the YouTube partnership program.

Unregistered users can only watch videos on the site,
while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited
number of videos and add comments to videos. Videos
deemed potentially offensive are available only to registered
users affirming themselves to be at least 18 years old.
