YouTube now gets over a billion hits a day, according to a new video blog post by the founder of the website.</p>


Chad Hurley’s blog marks the third anniversary of YouTube’s controversial acquisition by Google.</p>


The site was bought by Google in 2006 for $1.65bn – a price it later described as “a premium”.</p>


Earlier this year YouTube was at the centre of a content row over the amount of royalties it paid to musicians for hosting music videos.</p>


Six months later the dispute was resolved when Google agreed to pay UK royalty collecting body PRS for Music an undisclosed lump sum.</p>


Music videos reappeared for British YouTube visitors in September.</p>


Mr Hurley co-founded the website in 2004 with Steve Chen and Jawed Karim.</p>


They met while employees at online pay service PayPal.</p>


“We wanted to create a place where anyone with a video camera, a computer, and an internet connection can share their life, art, and voice with the world, and in many cases they can make a living from doing so,” Mr Hurley said, reflecting on YouTube’s original aims.</p>
