I miss 2016 youtube


Posts: 2277

Looking back, aside from political content 2016 was the only time where I truly enjoyed watching youtube videos. It was before youtube became for liberal pussies and idiotic Jake Paul fans and gays. It was politically incorrect, edgy, and full of memes. The election made the political content really good, too. Commentary channels like Leafy were on top, producing truly hilarious videos at the expense of others making fools of themselves. Political channels like Sargon of Akkad began their come up. There was the Leafy vs Keemstar drama and the resulting podcast which was awesome, and even the drama AFTER the podcast was entertaining (although, less so). Comedy channels like filthy frank and idubbbz were making their best content also....

but now, it's hollow. Jake Paul's everyday bro signaled the beginning of a boring and meaningless era for youtube and it got boring ever since. I miss that time for youtube, it was fun while it lasted. Also, that was when I first got into online chat shennanigans which was really enjoyable around that time. Back then I just went to this dated ass anon chatroom (teenchat.com) to fuck around and it was a lot of fun for the time. It was a really easy school year too, and high school was in full gear. I guess you could say I am experiencing nostalgia.

Diversify your interests. It's as shitty as you allow it to be.

I miss youtube before Google bought it and turned it into an ad fest. Though this isn't entirely a bad thing as it drives content creators to produce regular episodes.

Before we would just let a video rip and that was it. It had a video reply option that would notify they person you were responding to, and the platform became popular through word of mouth.

There was also an evolution of video quality with youtube and other video streaming platforms. Digital cameras became better and more accessible, and software upgrades took effect. Around that time HD video was all the buzz. DIVX was #1 and their Stage 6 site was superior to the rest, but they mysteriously shut down about the same time Youtube's video quality got a face lift which was a miracle from my perspective to say the least, you were a youth.

Not sure if youtube was the first of its kind, but I'm sure Google Video came out after but it wasn't as popular, probably because the name Youtube inspires the masses to produce content.

I might consider Youtube premium, but I actually like some of the ads I see, which for me are widely crypto ads. It allows me to see the world change just as I like it.

 I DID. I am expressing nostalgia for youtube not every aspect of my leisure.

Using the Last Hour filter for searches still makes for some zany times.
