Status: Partially Found

Jawed Karim (জাবেদ করিম) (born October 28th, 1979) is an internet entrepreneur most well known for co-founding YouTube with Steven Chen and Chad Hurley in 2005. He created his YouTube channel on April 23rd, 2005 (with the site's domain first registering two months prior), and the first video he uploaded was named "Me at the zoo". This was the first video ever uploaded on the site, and as of February 2020, it has reached 85 million views. He also worked on PayPal, and many of its core components, including its real-time anti-internet fraud system, were also designed and implemented by Karim.[1]

Karim uploaded many videos to YouTube over the years. However, he also had a habit for deleting them (often very shortly after uploading), and eventually every video except "Me at the zoo" was removed. Curious people have since been searching through caches, archives, and re-uploads to find the removed videos.

Details

Karim's videos did not have a singular set theme. Most videos were about him during his various trips, him chatting with his friends (with his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky appearing frequently in videos), him playing with his dog "Yoda", and various types of vehicles taking off/arriving at a destination.

Karim's last video appears to be "Taking off" from January 4th, 2010. It is unknown why Karim kept deleting videos from his channel, although the most likely reason is simply not being satisfied with them. A common rumour says Karim finally deleted all his videos (except for "Me at the zoo") due to his disapproval of YouTube requiring a Google+ account to comment on videos back in November 2013.[2] However, while he was dissatisfied with the change, "Me at the zoo" was already the last remaining video on the channel a year before said change.[3][4]

Currently, the largest known peak of Karim's video count is 121 from December 2005.[5] As of February 2020, not all names of these videos are known yet.
