YouTube, the largest video sharing platform on the planet, has lost a key employee who is now part of the Apple company. We are talking about a person who worked for several years within the YouTube company and contributed to the increase in popularity of the service, she would help those from Apple to fulfill their ambitions to attract more users.
Of course, Apple does not say what the former YouTube employee does after he was convinced to work for those from Cupertino, but he has been working at the American headquarters since April. Officially, the former YouTube employee is one of the directors in charge of an engineering department within Apple, but his true work has not been revealed.
Considering the experience he has accumulated within YouTube, there is a possibility that he will work on new features designed to make Apple Music more attractive to users. We are talking here about social media functions for Apple Music, or maybe even live streaming functions, YouTube launching such functions with great success in recent years for over 1 billion monthly active visitors.
Considering that Apple is trying to distribute original video content through Apple Music, a YouTube employee could seriously contribute to their success and attracting a large audience. Apple does not have experts in this field within the company, so it hires people from YouTube, Facebook, Google and other competitors that have been successful so far.
"Apple Inc. has hired Vijay Karunamurthy, who worked on early versions of YouTube and later co-founded a foodie app, experience that could be used to bring social and video features to the iPhone and other devices. Karunamurthy joined Apple as an engineering director in April."
