In shower today: "I bet my YouTube account is older than most of the people on YouTube." ...Yes, yes it is.

  I’m old enough to remember when YouTube was a separate account from your Google login.

  I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(

  Mine says 2011. But I’ve been online since 2005. 2001 if You count dial up. Guess You didn’t need an account back then.

  The absolute first video I saw on YouTube was the evolution of dance… which was one of the first ever viral videos ever…

    I think that one predates YouTube. I remember first watching it on a friends computer who shared his files during a LAN party

    • ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It was first uploaded to youtube, it is possible that your friend downloaded (I am sure it was possible even back then) or simply showed it to you and you weren’t aware it was YouTube. I didn’t even know what YouTube was when I was first saw it in 2006.

  Who TF is looking at YT in the shower? Bro, wash off, rub one out and dry off. You need at least like 30 seconds a day away from your screen.

  On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

  • sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    My oldest account I can still access is my eBay account at roughly 20 years old. Next oldest is my Steam account at 18.

  People born when you’ve created your YouTube account are now adults. Some are planning to have children.

  Think about that.

  source

  • AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    19 is not an adult, even if technically they are in the legal sense, thats still firmly in the kid territory. To think some are planning for kids at that age just shows how immature they are.

    source
  • JPSound@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.

    I am around that age and don’t have either of those. and wtf happened in the last 5 yrs?

    source

    • Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well, 2015 was a writeoff, 2016 was the year I got my mortgage, 2017 I started my new job, 2018 same shit different year, and 2019 was just a blur. So far 2020 has been pretty shit. I can’t wait for 2021, if it ever comes.

  I wonder if you’ll still get prompted to prove you’re over 18.

  • daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You are. My account is also over 18 yo. But youtube have tried to ask for ID to watch “adult content” on youtube before.

  Created my account in 2008. Can’t remember because I deleted my account. The earliest memory of Youtube I have was seeing Kimbo Slice punch a fridge. Speaking of Kimbo slice, check out the names of his grandchildren.

  I just can’t with the names 😂

  source

  • sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Watching Kimbo Slice beat the shit out of people in random back yards was peak. Beat the hell out of needing to download the whole thing before watching it like you had to do with Red vs Blue

  Yet the “ai” system one day will think that you’re underage and block your account until you send a photo of your face, your id and your ass

  source
• skoadphilmore@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  There’s probably a better place to ask but I’m going to do it here because I’m remembering now… Anyone remember a kind of mock “how to” series but the person clearly doesn’t know what they are doing and eventually they had a video for “how to get back into your house if you get locked out” and they end up failing to get back in and eventually they had a follow up for “how to survive in the woods”. The series may have descended into madness after that point.

  I assume it’s been long removed but finding that again would be really neat or at least someone who remembers it better than I did.

    I remember those, it was a subverted ‘How to’ channel. Maybe hacks in the name?

  My accounts currently from 2011. I’ve used it a bit longer, that would’ve been around 18 for me and I’ve been using it since at least 14/15. I started with Google video I think.

  Why do you think this image proves your contention exactly?

    The only thing it proves is that I’ll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.
