I've only really gotten into Youtube for the past year or so, so I can't really get into this whole discussion you've started here and on your Youtube channel, but nonetheless, I really loved your video on 2006 Youtube. It was different, but good different, and I liked it a lot. It started an awesome discussion.Kiko Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214493325227482174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-18655746467665633172010-08-27T23:20:25.688-04:002010-08-27T23:20:25.688-04:00I do miss those old videos.

Maybe because I joined in 2008, or maybe I'm just a bit more used to traditional media, but I quite like the modern videos that, despite not begin ad-libbed, are still very natural. The days before editing in my head are not dreamlands, but horrible 9-minute long rambles about things which definitely don't matter.<br /><br />The act of putting a video up just for the sake of it is still out by people like PJ, on his alternate channel, PJTheKick.<br /><br />Though, personally, I prefer the modern version of youtube (I have not witnessed anyone 'gone sour')the good thing about youtube is that you can go back and watch the old videos, but I, like others, am happy in my place in time.Aidanhttp://www.talesofapirate.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-24826875206751245972010-08-27T08:37:09.285-04:002010-08-27T08:37:09.285-04:00I feel the same way sometimes.

I used to be so happy and thankful and exclusive because I was on YouTube. I used to watch viral videos, mememolly and smosh before everyone knew about them. For instance, I can't go on FaceBook without seeing at least 30 per cent of my friends getting updates from Shane Dawson's page. I hate it. I want it to be a community again. I want to be able to correspond with the 'big' people, because back then, then 'big' people were whataboutadam and paperlillies. <br /><br />That probably sounds really spoilt, but I miss it.

I'm 26 and I literally found myself saying "When I was your age..." the other day.<br />I think essentially the reason is that over time everything changes, progresses, grows etc., whether it's truly for better or worse is subjective.<br />But, everything that was meaningful and awesome and special to us, especially during our formative years, feels that way forever. And we always want to hold on to it the way it was when we first loved it. <br />I was not around at the beginning of youtube, sadly. I was however around at the beginning of this blog and still remember when only like 12 people would comment and it felt like a secret little club. <br />So it goes...<br />-RandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937874428494399399.post-32915834282346857282010-08-27T03:11:20.730-04:002010-08-27T03:11:20.730-04:00I also miss Youtube's 'golden age'.
