@matrix >some soynerd-/posthipster-looking fag-on-the-rag according to the vid title Is this anything I need to watch in full, or do I get the gist of it from the first few seconds?

@cowanon @matrix you missed out on the golden years of youtube?

@igeljaeger @cowanon @matrix
Are you trying to say idubz is a part of the golden years of youtube?

@alyx @cowanon @matrix yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAPBm_0ftAY

@igeljaeger @cowanon @matrix
Fuck no. The actual golden years were already ramping down by the time he came aboard.

@alyx @igeljaeger @cowanon @matrix the actual golden years were anywhere before the google plus buyout. Things got increasily downhill when they added copyright strikes and then total shit with the adpocalypse making it so people can't swear or talk about certain things

@cirno @alyx @cowanon @matrix google bought youtube in 2006 you moron

@igeljaeger @alyx @cowanon @matrix I meant integration, after google plus failed they just kinda merged it with youtube

@cirno @igeljaeger @cowanon @matrix
As far as I'm concerned, Youtube's golden era was pretty much finished by around 2010.

@alyx I remember when YT started taking down vids for swearing that was around 2010. @cowanon @matrix @igeljaeger @cirno

@shampoobottle @alyx @cowanon @matrix @igeljaeger @cirno they took down all my extended breast feeding videos recently

@a7 >The day YT officially died @igeljaeger @matrix @alyx @cirno @cowanon

@shampoobottle As soon as you started seeing good production values that signalled the beginning of the end. The appeal of YouTube back in the day was that you were watching ordinary people that were just like you. Hence "You"Tube. @a7 @igeljaeger @matrix @alyx @cirno @cowanon

@terryenglish @shampoobottle @a7 @igeljaeger @matrix @alyx @cowanon remember "Broadcast yourself"?

@cirno If forget where I saw this but someone made the apt observation that it went from being YouTube to ThemTube. Basically television 2.0. @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @alyx @igeljaeger @a7

@terryenglish @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @alyx @igeljaeger @a7 >it started out as a COOMER project
Fucking based

@cirno The unsung coomer hero we all deserve and need. @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @alyx @igeljaeger @a7

@terryenglish @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @alyx @igeljaeger @a7 I conclude anything after 2011 was the downfall years of youtube, with anything post-2016 being complete ass now that shit like SNL covers the frontpage

@terryenglish @a7 @alyx @cowanon @igeljaeger @matrix @shampoobottle 2011 was also when they upped their algorithm to promote 15 minute videos, hence the rise of lets plays and the decay of animators. I remember a bunch of guys moving from sites like newgrounds to youtube, then a few years later google shoots them all in the foot because they weren't long enough

@cirno @a7 @alyx @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @terryenglish that was later. I remember watching a lot of cartoons back in 2011 on yt. It was closer to 2013 when that started going downhill

@igeljaeger @cirno @a7 @alyx @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @terryenglish windows xp screen recordings with notepad tutorials were peak yt
