Where the hell did all that time go?
In shower today: "I bet my YouTube account is older than most of the people on YouTube." ...Yes, yes it is.

let’s get you back inside, grandpa. Rub some liniment on those bunions and put you on one of your favorite spaghetti westerns.

So long ago, my brain hasn’t formed my first memory yet

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 1 day 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.

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.

Most people who use YouTube are over 19 years old.

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.

Why do you think this image proves your contention exactly?
JPSound@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The only thing it proves is that I’ll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

Mine is may 2009, but I had one for years before that. 2009 is just when my YouTube and google accounts merged

100k views adjusted for inflation? And you didn’t parlay that into a “career” as an influencer? So much potential, wasted.
JPSound@lemmy.world 1 day 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.

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.
