Google wasn’t Google back then. Same name, different devil.

March 4, 2006 for me. Looks like a lot of us signed up around the same time. If memory serves, wouldn't that have been about the time that YouTube first got absorbed by Google?

Maybe that’s when they also added the ability to subscribe to channels, making it actually useful to have one if you weren’t uploading videos ?
Idk, just spitballing, my own account is from 2009, because in 2006 my parents definitely didn’t have a broadband subscription, and Dailymotion was kinda superior to YouTube for a short time, so that’s where I usually went for a while.
