Where the hell did all that time go?
You made me check mine, can’t believe i’m there in 2008.
In shower today: "I bet my YouTube account is older than most of the people on YouTube." ...Yes, yes it is.

Can we take a moment to recognize Good Guy™ Rick Astley for never copyright-striking his Never Gonna Give You Up videos. He is a real hero.

Had a meeting with our sales guy, and he asked how long I’d been running the same engineering software since I knew it so well.
Me: about 27 years.
Him: that’s longer than I have been alive.
Oof

I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right.

Ah Razor tool now makes sense in KDEnlive editor

Mine is may 2009, but I had one for years before that. 2009 is just when my YouTube and google accounts merged
Chozo@fedia.io 8 months ago
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?
Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
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.

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

A coworker of mine was born in 2006. I never knew hiring toddlers was legal…

My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that’s entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It’s so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.

my original account is slightly older, but because i changed my phone number, i cannot login, despite knowing the password

Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear!
It’s true!
(Says who?)
So true! Once it’s in your fears will disappear!
This is what I got from memory. Haven’t seen the video in about a decade.
crank0271@lemmy.world 8 months ago
100k views adjusted for inflation? And you didn’t parlay that into a “career” as an influencer? So much potential, wasted.
JPSound@lemmy.world 8 months ago
112k AkChuUhLee. (I had to look it back up) I’ve been a career Tool fan but that’s as far as I’ve ever gotten. I’m where I want to be tho. And this way, I won’t need to make a fake crying apology video.
crank0271@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s sad that your video was taken down since it looks like someone posted a video about the subliminal message three months later, in December 2008, and it’s still up. (I won’t post it in case it’s you - I don’t want to dox you.) Maybe this person posted a follow up crying apology, though.

Most people who use YouTube are over 19 years old.
JPSound@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I have just received the relevant stats and indeed, I’m not but it sure feels like it these days. It’s more childlike in content than it’s every been IMO. Maybe it’s just me.

Apr 19, 2006 for me.
I miss when the most watched video was Evolution of Dance.

This definitely got worse over time. Which does happen when YouTube makes changes.
JPSound@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Ohhhhh what a classic. I remember huddling around my girlfriend’s (at the time) family computer watching that one god know how many times in a row. That one with David Blaine but it was this other kid pretending to be him doing impossible tricks.
AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
According to a quick search the biggest cohort of YouTube users is 25 to 34, your account is not older than most people on YouTube. I’d apologize for being a pedantic asshole but I’d be lying, I thrive on it.

I’m sure the number of actual small children that use YouTube is quite high as well, but data would be skewed since they aren’t supposed to be on there. The views of channels that cater to them are on another level.

Is that the age users entered? Before I was legally an adult I always just added a few years
AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
It was from a marketing data aggregator, so it’s presumably getting it from more than self-reported age, knowing how those scum sucking data vampires are.
JPSound@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This makes me feel better actually. I always get the vibe that it’s all kids and teenagers. Maybe because they’ve made it too “soft” for lack of a better word that I can think of rn. I’ll stop back in another 19 years.
itsathursday@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Older people consume the content because that’s the dynamic that we are used to. Few produce it, we don’t have much we “need” to share or say, we are also busy earning. Young people are also busy earning, but it just so happens that their business is the platform, and they “need” to share - not that anyone is asking them to except for the advertising machine that feeds off the engagement, click and rage bait.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t even think under 18s can post, so what’s your metric you’re even using here?
JPSound@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Reminisce with me about the pre google glory days. In the long long ago. Salad Fingers, that Joey Jordison drum solo video, Badger Badger Badger…
