About youtube.com

youtube.com went online 21 years ago. It is hosted in United States. Its content suggests it is a Social Media website. It is one of the most visited websites worldwide (#11). None of the security databases we monitor list it. Its connection is encrypted (padlock in the address bar) — good, though scam sites can have this too. On the website we noticed: countdown timers or scarcity pressure.
