Did the first video on YouTube have any interactivity?

The first video on YouTube, "Me at the zoo," did not have any inherent interactivity beyond being a static video clip. It was a simple 18-second recording of Jawed Karim standing in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo, where he briefly talked about the elephants and their trunks.

During that early period of YouTube's development, interactivity on the platform was limited mainly to comments and ratings. Users could leave comments below videos to share their thoughts or interact with other viewers. They could also rate videos with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down, indicating whether they liked or disliked the content.

However, the concept of interactivity on YouTube has evolved significantly since then. Features such as likes, dislikes, comments, sharing options, subscriptions, playlists, and more have been added to enhance user engagement and interaction with videos and creators on the platform.
