I didn't have an account until the early 2010s, and I deleted accounts and made new ones all the time, to me they were always disposable. And I didn't post anything until 2021 (a video telling people that I was shadowbanned from commenting, and that I moved to Odysee, and it's definitely underrated because I actually bothered making it look cool).

And yeah, now I remember the limit being raised to 15 minutes. And it being removed as well, that was a huge deal for let's play channels that I watched. Going from LPs that were over 100 videos long because of the time limit, to fewer gigantic videos. Also in some cases gigantic videos, but still 100 of them, because people could do truly insane challenges in games, that took a long time to complete, or do LPs of ridiculously long games.

Also, I meant two different internets less in terms of protocol, and more in the sense of different worlds of different people. Right now we are on the web, but this is a very different part of the internet than what most people are on. And even in the case of YouTube, there are small obscure channels of people that don't go to the usual places, other than YouTube itself just to upload videos.

Anyway, I think AI will be the death of the "professional" JewTuber, it's only a matter of time. Just wait a few years, and the internet will be flooded with computer-generated videos, and no human will be able to compete, and eventually there will be so many of them that it will all be monetarily worthless. Also, the restrictions will become absolutely insane, because not even Google can host infinite videos.

Also, I actually think that the biggest JewToobers are less likely to last more than the usual than people that are just reasonably popular and have more of a niche and a more dedicated fanbase. There are LPers that I know that have been around since the 2000s and that are reasonably popular. Though most doing gaming stuff moved on to streaming. https://social.076.moe/url/170294
