     @Hoss @coin @GrungeQueef @Binkle Another thing about the old days of YouTube: trolling communities and proto-dramaniggers wreaking havoc on all the self-important internet nobodies who built small reputations issuing dumb takes on the week's events. Trolling was such a foreign concept to so many people between 2006-2008 that riling them up took little effort. This period alone inspired editors on Encyclopedia Dramatica to cover internecine squabbles and petty spats between these people. Sadly, it also inspired scores of weens and A-Logs high on their own egos to chase clout and become niche e-celebs. The people doing it "for the lulz" turned out to be irony poisoned faggots who couldn't handle banter when the guns were drawn on them hence the downfall of the Fried Chicken Trolling Crew and other proto-dramaniggers.
     
     Much of that content has long since been scrubbed and remembered only by those who were present at the time.

     @Hoss @GrungeQueef @coin @Binkle Sadly, so much of the early YouTube content will be gone. All those memories gone like tears in the rain.
     
     This might've been one of the first YouTube videos I remember watching. Those were the days you could feature your friends and/or family.

     When I was in high school, I had a YouTube channel where I'd make fake "action movie trailers" with a couple pals paced around movie OST tracks I liked (usually Hans Zimmer). I ended up nuking the videos because I showed my channel to people at school and a couple faggots I didn't even know wouldn't stop giving me shit about them anytime they saw me and I just wanted them to leave me the fuck alone. I wish I hadn't done that even though I'd probably cringe at them now. Unfortunately, I did not think to keep the original videos on my hard drive.

     @Hoss @coin @GrungeQueef @TheEternalBungholio in high school i volunteered for a website as a games journalist and unfortunately never saved any of the articles i wrote. I did save 1 video review though but i can't open it for more than a few seconds because hearing my own voice makes me want to die

     @Hoss @coin @GrungeQueef @Binkle Yes, the fact that you actually had to pay for Nico to be any good did a lot of good for it I think. Bilibili I have a lot of questions about, it seems vaguely subversive but at this point I have to assume they're at least partially funded by the PRC establishment to not be in the red.

     It probably also helps that Nico was not in a western market where we're now dealing with the aftermath of a decade+ long pathological Silicon Valley obsession with ad-supported models (fueled by artificially cheap credit) that make the end user pay for literally nothing (in hard currency, anyway) which never managed to bring in consistent profit for most platforms and is now beginning to implode catastrophically.

     There is literally no reason for commentary video garbage to be 4k60fps. YouTube would probably have a way more stable business model if they had charged people to upload anything higher than 480p and anything longer than 10m since the very beginning.

     @Hoss @coin @GrungeQueef @Binkle On a simpler level, video is expensive as hell and as the bitrates and resolutions increase the costs are exponential. I for one think we never should have went past 480p60 outside of extraordinary circumstances.
