VidSpace is a video-sharing website based in El Kadsre founded by former Seymour Games employee Tyrrell Takara. Launched in 1997, the site was the precursor to YouTube. As of 2020, over 30 billion videos have been uploaded to the site, while the first 50 were uploaded during its first month of activity.
Its main competitors are YouTube, Wakachiau, Vimeo, and DailyMotion.
History[]
Pre-Alpha testings[]
VidSpace began development in 1994 as a experimental website project by Driller Engine programmer Tyrrell Takara, who was the student at the University of El Kadsre learning application development. He previously worked with Seymour Games and other independent developers at the time.
While not the first video-sharing website to be founded, VidSpace was the first to support video streaming, something that Wakachiau didnāt support at the time. Because Internet access bandwidth and video transcoding technology at the time were limited, Takara had to make the Shockwave-based plugin called "VidSpace Player", capable of streaming embedded MPEG-1 videos with WAV audio in the webpage. Because Takara has little to no experience of website development, he contacted few Netspace employees to help him develop the site.
Launch[]
On January 17, 1997, VidSpace was launched on the internet. The first video of the site titled "Me testing my video website project" was uploaded to the site two hours later. It was successful with 50 videos being uploaded each month of activity. Most of the multimedia players added support for VidSpace. The offices were in El Kadsre City whilst the servers and international mainframe operations were based in Glonisla. The average quality of the video uploaded on the site during its early years was 144 pixels and run 15 frames per second.
At first, VidSpace's custom-designed Linux-powered mainframes were prone to rendering playback ID errors, 500 Internal Server Errors and in some cases, browser crashes due to faulty hard drives, which were commonly caused by bad internet bandwidths, and as a result server engineers were given a special hammer as part of their regular electronic mainframe repair kits. When banged against the area of the drive, it would temporarily fix the problem. The business end was made out of a patented lead-hardened Tyvek mixture developed by University of El Kadsre students, and formulated so it wouldn't damage the internal electronics when pounded on.
Rise of VidSpace[]
Among the earliest VidSpace celebrities were the singing group O'Collins.
As internet bandwidths increase overtime, popularity of VidSpace began to rise. In February 2001, VidSpace upgraded its video playback quality to 480 pixels.
In 2003, VidSpace migrated its video player from Shockwave to Flash.
In August 2004, VidSpace had major upgrades, video player was switched to 16:9 widescreen and the quality upgraded to DVD-quality 576i video playback.
Modern era[]
In November 2004, VidSpace was redesigned to have a clean look, new features, improved playback quality, much longer videos, and more social networking features. In 2005, Dailymotion and YouTube were launched on the internet, taking away VidSpace's status as a sole video streaming platform. In July 2007, the 720p HD video playback and MPEG-4 format was introduced, making it the first video-sharing website to have high-definition quality.
1080p Full HD video playback was introduced in December 2008. 4K Ultra HD was introduced in January 2014. In May 2013, VidSpace transitioned to HTML5, allowing playback on iOS, Android, Polaris, Unify Phone, Portosic OS, and ViraOS devices.
VidSpace has recently begun to offer paid, free-to-view uploads of full episodes of TV series and movies, striking a deal with PBS in 2018 to allow PBS' VidSpace accounts to upload full episodes from PBS and PBS Kids shows, plus remastered versions of older shows and episodes. Similar to Tubi, they have advertisements (though an ad blocker can offer an uninterrupted experience).

This live stream is also on YouTube and Twitch. It's believed that this live stream is probably the most viewed thing ever on the website since 2018 and it's been on the algorithm since the Gaburayonese Revolution had started and that's when Gaburayon's population had started to go down and VidSpacers started time-lapsing of the decline of the population of Gaburayon and uploading them onto VidSpace. People also did the same thing too when Kaga'ahjo was also losing its population when the Juul war started. During the late point of the Gaburayonese Revolution, a constitutional referendum didn't passed, so Gaburayon was turned into a totalitarian state and the Gaburayonese secret police was established and that cause a faster decline in Gaburayon's population when the secret police are killing all opposition of the Gaburayonese government, so people viewed the live stream just because of that. COVID-19 pandemic in Kadersaryina had been making the population of Kadersaryina going down, so it made the viewers attracted to the video.
