Most users use this network to send information such as travel, fashion, food, art and similar topics. Also unique to the platform is the presence of special filters for image and video editing. Instagram was created in 2010 and in 2012 Facebook bought the program for $ 1 billion in cash and shares.
YouTube: With 1.8 billion users, YouTube is a free video-sharing platform that, for some users, has created jobs and revenue through content production, to users who generate content and earn money on YouTube. It is called "YouTuber". The network was launched in February 2005 by three PayPal executives and was acquired by Google the following year for $ 1.6 billion.
