So you've completely miss the actual good years. Oof... I'd tell you to go watch pre-2011 videos, but knowing Youtube, they probably already took most of them down already.
@igeljaeger @a7 @alyx @cowanon @matrix @shampoobottle @terryenglish I remember when lazer collection wss like the funniest shit ever, I'd never seen anything quite like it. I was also like 12 so that helped
@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

@a7 Germans have been butthurt ever since America stole Germany's moment in the sun in supplanting Britain as the world power. @igeljaeger

@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

@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
