The site, in 2011
A Chinese video site that began with user uploads, grew into a subscription streaming service and is now owned by Alibaba.
Victor Koo, a former Sohu president, launched it in December 2006. Its name means 'excellent and cool'. It merged with rival Tudou in 2012, Alibaba bought it in 2015, and by 2014 it had more than 500 million monthly active users.
In 2011: A year after listing on the New York Stock Exchange, in December 2010, and a few months before the merger with Tudou was announced.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
