Comment on YouTube failed as a dating site. This one change altered its fortunes forever

Oh yeah. It’s weird being old enough to remember a time before youtube and I’m still pretty young. My (much) older sister and I would AIM chat and email all the time. We had ytmnd.com and stupidvideos.com, but it turned out people would rather take the ease of video sharing whatever rather than the pseudo video dating they were trying and the founders recognized the greater potential.

I remember when the site first went public, even early on it was so much better than the others. Even with all the problems I’ll always love YT.
