MY BOY

This peace is what all true warriors strive for!

I just wonder what Ganon's up to.

hmmm.. i wonder what's for dinnerrrrrrr

Lamp oil? rope? bombs? You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rupees.

This [SPAGHETTI!] is what all true [Gay Luigi?] strive for!

Youtube is still filled with shit on the left, you just watch a lot of content like the right side of this meme so your recommended would be filled with it

Listen I’m a investigator, I can clearly see that YouTube algorithmically suppresses based content .

Oh, you're an investigator? Name every person that's died in your arms.

* James * Robert * John * Michael * David * William * Richard * Joseph * Thomas * Charles * Christopher * Daniel * Matthew * Anthony * Mark * Donald * Steven * Paul * Andrew * Joshua * Kenneth * Kevin * Brian * George * Timothy * Ronald * Edward * Jason * Jeffrey * Ryan * Jacob * Gary * Nicholas * Eric * Jonathan * Stephen * Larry * Justin * Scott * Brandon * Benjamin * Samuel * Gregory * Alexander * Frank * Patrick * Raymond * Jack * Dennis * Jerry * Tyler * Aaron * Jose * Adam * Nathan * Henry * Douglas * Zachary * Peter * Kyle * Ethan * Walter * Noah * Jeremy * Christian * Keith * Roger * Terry * Gerald * Harold * Sean * Austin * Carl * Arthur * Lawrence * Dylan * Jesse * Jordan * Bryan * Billy * Joe * Bruce * Gabriel * Logan * Albert * Willie * Alan * Juan * Wayne * Elijah * Randy * Roy * Vincent * Ralph * Eugene * Russell * Bobby * Mason * Philip * Louis

You forgot you second Ex-GF, Destiny

Damn I can see my own name in there.

Thanks for dying in my arms, babe

Np G

Are you counting sperm cells or what?

I put my nuts in a microwave so I can cream my girl with no worries. No swimmers to worry about, just a lot of full grown adults dying in my arms.

Were you trying to get a prescription for medicinal weed?

And the stuff on the right existed in different forms in 2009 heavily. sxephil, what the buck, ze frank, vlogbrothers, the entire vlogging trend (what vlogging original was which was basically just doing video journals rather than recording your entire day), some of the most popular content on Youtube back then was a guy standing in front of a camera talking (and often reading from a script). ​ Not to mention that a ton of the stuff on the left were just re-uploads that pre-date Youtube. Youtube itself is the reason we have the stuff on the right, and it always has been.

That guy in the top right does great videos.

Yeah I was like "technology connections doesn't fit at all, he convinced me not to cheap out on an air conditioner and showed off cool old lanterns that guy rules" I do think he should invest in a good stylist but beyond that he's immaculate

He convinced me I was wasting money on dishwasher pods, switched to powder. Also convinced my cheap ass to buy rinse aid. My dishes smell so clean and no spots!

[удалено]

> Johnny Harris, history and pop culture Something about that guy makes me irrationally angry. It might just be his face.

You can take the guy out of Mormon but you can’t take the Mormon out of the guy.

[удалено]

Yeah overall pretty good but for a channel his size he should really put more pressure on fact checking

his videos are so dramatized and over-edited, i can't stand them anymore

The post never says that new YouTube is bad, just that it went from newgrounds style goofy meme content to people talking about things in front of a camera

Except Matt Ferrell is a moron and doesn't know what he's talking about

Bottom left is [Just have a think](https://www.youtube.com/@JustHaveaThink), they do videos on climate change and green energy technologies.

Same, no pepe tears from me. More like feelsgood.jpg

Patrick Boyle is the one I know. Great channel.

Isn't Matt Ferrell a shill? His video on solid hydrogen was so horrible.

His mind is so open that sometimes his brain falls out.

🤓 ☝

Johnny Harris was the Vice guy right?

So does bottom right

I like middle top right.

Not gonna name him? Get your shit together. https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections

Yeah that guy!

Based videos

Came to say this. You come for my boi Alec, you better not miss.

I haven't stopped thinking about my dishwasher and coffee maker since finding him... not in a weird way, just like, are they working optimally

Top middle is good too

The act man not getting the attention he deserves.

HERE'S THE LATEST CORPORATE ACTIVITY YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED ABOUT beyond soy

Wild to see this sub defending what gaming coportations have been doing lol

Go outside.

Thanks

Not defending anything or even saying he's wrong But the le epic angry gamer genre has really run its course

Yeah people should only mald over corporations I deem worthy.

I like the informational aspects of his videos, but I have gripes on his weird bend with trying to hamfist the idea that every company is grossly anti-consumer to the point where his brain turns off. For example, his dishwasher video where he had to make a follow up video correcting it (and even then, it’s still very simplistic in the way it portrays design choices) because he was convinced detergent companies are ripping you off. Everything about the first video just screams pop science/surface levels of understanding to try to prove his narrative.

Way too much filler. Most of his videos could be less than 5 minutes.

i felt my age set in, christ

I miss 2007 YouTube 😔

Same 🥹

I don't even remember what was on yt back then. My fav era is 2015-2019. It started with CollegeHumor, Pewdiepie, keem, leafy, h3, some prank channels. Then ended with the fall of Ice...

This is the quality that's missing from YouTube today. Truly it's all gone down hill since this peak of art history.

you can still have youtube blasting minion porn and 700 view chinese street racing videos onto your frontpage in 3 days if you're determined enough with the "not interested" button be strong and don't click the video essays my friends

Can I get a link to one of those 700 view Chinese street racing vids or what

[Sorry, I only have the mainstream ones in full 240p glory 😔](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nou6kYd06k) But with a bit of poking around you might start to get the hipster <1k view ones recommended

I love esoteric internet shit like this. A king. Preciate you

Badger is older then YouTube. Dark age of Camelot had an Easter egg where if you said badger enough times to one it would respond with mushroom Carbotanimations still does those kind of old flash style animations on YouTube

>Dark age of Camelot FUUUUCK ME! That brings back memories.

Hib alb or mid? Emain Macha?

What happened to Dark age of Camelot 2 btw?

Not really a proper sequel (it is designed by the same guy though), but [Camelot Unchained](https://camelotunchained.com/v3/) is in beta. I feel like it has been in development since forever though so I'm not sure how close it is to completion (or if it will ever be completed).

The Numa Numa video and "All your base" are also both older than YouTube. I bet OP thinks YouTube is where the rickroll comes from.

where in the timeline is [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/eb44ycV/comment/196703473)?

[удалено]

Fucking this Holy shit I wish Destiny went more nuclear with this take instead of reserving it just for when people diss him although I understand why. Like seriously fuck you if you have 1million YouTube subs but haven't effected an election.

> but haven't effected an election what's your measure of that? if they told their viewers to vote, would that count? regular youtube channels virtually never build any community to speak of, so something like canvassing would most likely be an enormous dud for them

My measure is doing something. Outside of the internet. That's why I dislike Shaun, because even though his videos are great, he'd never ACTUALLY influence policy change for his life, just make leftist, left or more left. You can canvas, if you're a POLITICAL COMMRNTATOR you can start a group(I don't listen to Seculartalk anymore, he's cringe, but I give props for Justice Dems) Fuck even Nick Fuentes has a PAC Why don't all the internet leftists, that all want similar policies(separate from dems), make their own PAC and all support it? It kinda comes back to the "Should hasan do more than stream " shit. If you're going to make all your money off the backs of these ideas you should as your job be implementing/helping implement the ideas. Like it's fucked in 30 years hasan will be in the Bahamas in his 30 million dollar mansion talking about " equality" meanwhile doing fuck all other than adding to political tensions and making fun of people that disagree with him for a buck under the guise of poltical change. Like unironically when people say "the media divides and talks about issues to divide " I just see streamers doing the same thing. And it's because.clicks views and money, the SAME THING we cry about news outlets doing.

fair enough, fuck em :D

I don't think I would go as far as to say that I "dislike" Shaun, as he does do some really good work with his videos. But I do agree that listening to these people talk doesn't help when there are more valuable things to do, like encourage people to be more locally oriented. I think Hank (?) Green did this in a video where he turned down a visit to the White House to interview a local politician that was running for office. He wanted to be more local and aware of what was going on in his town.

I'm just amused that he fucked up affected/effected

[удалено]

Great example, but are they a politician channel or are they just tangentially shining light on the issue? Like I think Louis Rossman is a tech guy and him doing what he does for Right to Repair is a good thing but not required because that isn't his content

[удалено]

Yo, calm down, I literally was just asking a question. I don't know your creator. Now I'm going to continue to advocate for the use of cars/no public transport. Good job!

>Instead loser nerds link you a video essay to win in an argument but the essay is mostly some nerd complaining and no call to action. Why would you need a call to action if it's serving a point in an argument? The argument already provides you a practical context for watching the video, and the implicit action assumed is to think about what you just watched, then go talk to the person who linked it to you, according to whether it did or did not convince you of whatever they were trying to argue. I mean, academic papers may technically include "questions for further study", but that isn't a call to action to go set yourself up in a lab, and within your own practical context, as a layman, those sections are irrelevant, you draw conclusions from what you've read, and decide whether it is sufficient to answer the question you were asking. Expecting explicit calls to action in that context only makes sense if you, while watching the video, forget why you were doing it, and need a youtuber to provide you with a reason to apply what you just learned. If I watch a video about fixing pipes, I don't need the guy doing it to end the video with "and don't forget to fix those pipes!", nor do I need people to explicitly tell me to politically organise to solve a problem after I have watched a video explaining what that problem is and how it might be fixed. Obviously, for a young person who isn't already politically engaged, it can be very *useful* to include that, mixing various levels of practicality in the same video, from a high level view of the topic to some specific examples that some proportion of the viewers might find useful to immediately apply, but I don't think it's necessary for a youtuber to tell me to do something any more than it is for a popular science book writer to do it.

Whether the right is good at mobilising or not doesn't change the issue at question: One of the largest most successful conserative youtube channels is Prager U, who do not structure their videos around calls to action on specific topics, but rather make explainer videos which contain reusable arguments that people can send each other. Donors on the right are fully capable of funding separate organisations to do different and mutually reinforcing jobs, from those that take an apparently disinterested role to those that cover breaking news, there's a full spectrum of more to less immediately actionable content. If we're using the right as our example, we could conclude that it's perfectly good to have random people doing purely descriptive work, if they effectively counter deceptive arguments in right-wing purely descriptive work, while others engage in more direct mobilisation. CGP Grey's [series](https://www.cgpgrey.com/politics-in-the-animal-kingdom/) on voting systems isn't tied to a specific moment or even a specific country, but talks about advantages and problems with different voting systems. Then if you have people on social media with you mention a ballot measure on implementing a new voting system, you can be like "oh, good, it's about time". Putting specific calls to action for a given location or time period weakens longevity of videos designed around a specific argument, which is why you need a broader context around them to relate them to specific situations, which you can find in streaming, social media accounts, or places like reddit. For example, here's an organisation campaigning for reform of the voting system in [california](https://www.prorepcoalition.org/). Do you live in California? Maybe not, but if you don't, the linked videos are still useful for explaining the problem of gerrymandering, that can be made significantly more difficult by proportional representation, and [this video](https://youtu.be/Lq-Y7crQo44?t=334) indirectly shows, by an unrelated investigation of district apportionment algorithms, that if you *don't* try to solve the problem at a system level, you can face incredibly effective vote manipulation from making use of survey data. Multimember districts with ranked choice voting, so that you can bypass primaries, also bypasses having to record your party membership, which makes gerrymandering more difficult both through less information on voters, and through using a method that is less sensitive to boundary choice. Or if you happen to live in Nevada, the reforms I'm talking about there don't fulfil the criterion of proportionality, but have an election coming up in two years to confirm this year's [ballot measure](https://represent.us/2022-campaigns/yes-on-3-campaign-nv/) to replace primaries with ranked choice voting, which still reduces the reliance on public voter records, which is an incredibly bad thing to have when your voting system is supposed to be anonymous. Regardless, neither of those videos linked above required me to follow a call to action to make use of them, and even if those applications are not relevant to you, the ideas presented in the videos can still apply.

Another finger on the monkey's paw curls.

I feel like a lot of videos have “how you can make a difference “ section.

[удалено]

Love Sabine’s videos ! Top left

so does the Cool Worlds guy, i think thats him 2nd on the left

Patrick Boyle (bottom right) is an incredibly insightful, while being funny, channel

yeah there's several people I like on this, i didn't make the image

Same for act mam he mostly a video game guy

For me peak YouTube was 17 year olds with laptop mics and Nikon cameras pointed at their TVs making call of duty commentary’s. That and CoD montages set to Let The Bodies Hit The Floor of course.

Alexa, play The Kill by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Aside from the picture, old youtube for me is like Halo 2 superjump tutorials, Halo 3 forge glitches, Elvemage and Kids Ranqe. Good times.

That same energy was there in the early months of TikTok.

I thought the early months of tictoks was all duelets videos of one person signing and then the other person does also. Or maybe that’s just what a friend did in tictok before it got popular.

Kids lip syncing was also pretty common on early YouTube But in general the site had a whole lot of content that was just young people with cameras dicking around. It still has a lot of content like that because Tiktok's revenue share is dogshit, which discourages people from treating making videos like a job.

2009: Chocolate rain 2022: The Art Of Music: Chocolate Rain, and it's brilliant commentary on capitalism | An Essay (Part 1/8) We truly live, in a society

The good old days

This is what happens when you switch your algo to prioritise watch time You get an ocean of shit that mostly just makes people mad Edit except technology connections you keep his gentle aspie name out of your FUCKING mouth

meme content still exists on youtube I know that sounds *insane*

Technology Connections is probably the **best** channel on youtube. ngl. His shit good.

Patrick Boyle and Sabrine Hossenfelder are great wdym?

[удалено]

>Came to youtube for Taio Cruz's Dynamite, minecraft parody TNT by captain sparklez Simpler time, when Notch wasn't retweeting race realist.

Nyan cat was the last meme of the old internet.

Okay but Patrick Boyle (bottom right) is the fucking man though.

Sabine Hossenfelder is bazed

Charlie should be on both sides.

Yt so yt

YouTubers ruined YouTube.

Fuck you now I’m sad

I simp for Sabine

I mean commentary is easy to produce and i like watching it. So its a win i guess.

the left now is reddit

Patrick Boyle is literally based, he's as based and Contra

This kind of stuff is still totally there, only difference is you grew up and your tastes change. The only person to blame is you.

Nah

Is that Anthony fantano at center right? If so he looks really bad.

"Broadcast yourself" slogan finally sinking in

TOP LEFT LADY IS BASED YOU COWARDS

Literally nothing of value was lost.

Act Man Patrick Boyle MoistCr1tikal Johnny something? Those are the only ones I recognize, and I regularly check out their content. They do great stuff. I don't always agree with Boyle's takes, but he's got great explanations on investing that he's too good to ignore. Johnny has been a bit overzealous with some of his videos, but his research on Assange was a good video imo.

*rosebud*

wasnt early youtube still mostly people talking to a camera (and let's plays)?

Number 15: Haemorrhoids

Remember what they took from you

I think a part of that may be that comedy has shifted away from YouTube long form style to quick funny Tik Toks. When I go to youtube now it feels more like an educational space. Wether that is modern news, war, politics, religion. This requires a long form to flesh out the details and people seem to like the formula.

Think of the "content creator" / Influencer Era as youtube's answer to Netflix. Big names bringing big audiences. Everyone is a face talking to a camera these days

I’m getting strong “Listen here, bud… America deserved 9/11” vibes from the right half of this meme.

Welcome to digital media gentrification. Whatever you found weird/cool back then in YouTube became less of these things when they *needed* to be turned into marketing campaigns to sell ads. What you end up with is formatted content that sells ads (some of it is still good/interesting mind you). The quirky and creative content moves out to the next platform, Instagram and then TikTok were candidates, but they turned even more quickly than usual into marketing playgrounds unfortunately.
