Yea, fr fr. Back in the day UA-cam was this platform were video creators could get creative and upload their stuff. But now it kinda feels like a news channel were the main focus is straight up drama. Crazy.
It's always just a question about time before something gets too popular and changes as a result. More times than not for the worse. Just look at Instagram, I deleted that garbage 3 years ago because it went from being a nice place you could share little bits and pieces about your life to a commercialized news outlet and business fueled by gossip and sex. But, in the end we are products of our environment. It's in our hands to make UA-cam and these other platforms what it once was, but the sad truth is that the majority of people don't want that anymore.
@@MrNinjafreak Exactly. UA-cam has definitely made some improvements over the years, but there is too much outside involvement from big corporations and brands that now have more influence on the platform rather than the everyday users. I remember when everyone had a equal chance of getting views and subscribers but now it seems that you can only grow on UA-cam if UA-cam thinks you should.
@@Crewsi3 He was a great You-Tuber I'm not sure about now but what I meant was Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye, and Markiplier use to be at trio and they were a really great trio.
he's wrong. I find content all the time reminiscent of old youtube styled content and I genuinely like it more than todays content. even going back and looking at very old videos from people i never even watched before is better than todays content. yeah part of it is how you felt but its mostly how it was back in the day rather than just how we felt back then. it isn't just nostalgia.
It's strange to think about sometimes and you look at the children being annoying little shits and go 'man this generation is going to hell, I was never like that when I was younger' when in fact you probably were, obviously in some cases that's not true such as the amount of children i see vaping or just going up to people and being cunts like i was never like that, but the ones that are just a bit annoying and just being children will grow up and think the exact same things we did and the cycle will repeat, while i do think the newer generation is a tad bit more... 'eccentric', likely due to tiktok brainrot they will grow out of it and even be embarrassed about it like we get embarrassed thinking of how we used to be.
@@FlakeRabbit Yet, this is the one point in history you can say that, we're sorry for you new generations. In 2000-2010s, our videogames are fueled by passion, when corporates still haven't figured out the yearly-formula and buying out all the good franchises and marketing, and our influencers are fueled by the needs to entertain, not by sponsorship or trying to start drama. Social media existed purely to communicate (and maybe playing some Facebook pet game), but it wasn't made to grab every inch of our attention span and get us addicted. We have the internet, yet we weren't terminally online, and the stupidity of our younger selves haven't got immortally digitalized, and kids haven't figured out what the hell 'chasing clout' even mean. And now, these new kids will grow up trying to compete with all these new AIs, and surviving in a world that gets more and more expensive, and less and less hospitable. And then those covid kids who couldn't even socialize for few years during one their most crucial development time. It'll never get that simple and comfortable again. We were at the times that we really felt connected, and our world was smaller for all of us. It will never be like that again for our children. They will have to find their own way to cope, while the competition just keep getting tougher. I really feel bad for them, honestly.
@@FlakeRabbitnah but I didn’t have TikTok and unlimited internet access when I was 5. I did something called going outside and using my imagination which these modern 5 year olds are steering clear of. They probably can’t even watch a full 20 minute episode of a show.
Sometimes I wish it was 2016 all over again. Watching Jackscepticeye play Mirrors edge, Markiplier was playing fnaf clones, Fran Bow letsplays, Don't Starve together, Kubzscouts was playing yandere simulator. Those were the good days. Yeah there were bad eggs there always were, but there was more good than bad back then. Unlike today.
I noticed I think internet culture has changed in more ways than we think. People just don't connect with creators like they used to, because there's so many clones and everyone is so used to short form content:( not just that, it just feels more like a time killer rather than what helps people connect.
It’s nice to know that Felix, Mark, and Jack are all still genuinely good people Edit: Felix is still in my opinion a great person. He has donated to multiple charities and has been nothing but respectful during his controversies. Just because you say the n word DOES NOT MEAN YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE! The n word literally only means an ignorant person.
@@Skikoplyou used to be able to personalize your entire channel page like a MySpace account, before 2012-2013 where you could only change the backdrop..
I was expecting a parody of I miss the old kanye, so I wrote it. I miss the old UA-cam, "where shall we go" UA-cam, straight from the soul UA-cam, so many goals for UA-cam. I hate the new UA-cam, the bad mood UA-cam, the always rude UA-cam, "drama is news" UA-cam. I miss the sweet UA-cam, the "No Defeat" UA-cam. I gotta to say, at that time I'd like to be on UA-cam.
Not only a drama battlefield but a place filled with greedy people making creepy and brain numbing content, yeah there was brain numbing content back then but it isn't as bad as what we have right now since we weren't born during the pandemic back then
No that was when youtubers started from making fun videos to thunkimg tbey are god because they won a boxing match against a tiktoker also and the decline of people reacting to home videos and rise of tiktok comps drama started having a profit
The fact that most of these clips are considered “old UA-cam” but I remember clips WAAAY before any of these people existed as UA-camrs. I remember actual “old UA-cam” being so damn different, it makes me feel HELLA OLD lol

It was a complete Wild West and we made it up as we went along. I think a lot of the old charm of the internet wore off when Twitter and Facebook took over and made UA-cam a very corporate entity.
UA-cam didn't really pop off until I'd say like 2010. The only creators people really knew back then were Smosh. 2011 to I'd say like 2017 was the peak of UA-cam before they started fucking with people's content.

Yep that’s exactly what I’m saying all people care about today is making money on UA-cam these days and i just miss when people called videos just videos instead of calling them “content” it just sounds nerdy and dumb lol and also it’s just dumb how people always complain when their videos get “demonetized” when they do realize they can just not make money and curse all they want in their videos that’s what i do lol people are just greedy and only care about views and money watch people get mad at me because I’m just telling the truth 🤣

@@EWOKakaDOOM yep and now look at it now mostly everyone on here who makes videos is just greedy where they treat making videos as a job instead of just doing it for fun lol like I see countless videos here on UA-cam of people quitting their "job" of making youtube videos because youtube demonitized them like you can still make videos you just won't be getting paid anymore lol the Greed of some people like nobody is forcing them to make videos I just do it for the hell of it and I think everyone should to but nope everyone wants to be better than everyone and see who can make the most money on youtube like it's some big accomplishment its not just youtube I feel like that about the world to like why do we have celebrities they're just normal people like us but the world knows them and people get shocked when some celebrity passes away people pass away every single day and I don't see anyone else cry when some random person passes away except for their families so I don't think celebrities exist I think everyone is just there own person and nobody is really famous were all just the same but back to what I was saying about youtube and everything yeah all people care about is money I just wish it wasn't that way
Honestly, the UA-cam when 100k subs was deemed almost an impossible target was the most fun. People were still figuring out sketches, commentaries, walkthroughs and shit like that on their own. Now everyone is so set in the same 'working' formula. It lost a lot of its charm.
this is too much emotion and nostalgia for me to handle, i used to watch these guys when I was THREE. these guys built up my childhood through happy wheels and amnesia, sure they kind of awkward and were finding their footing through their first years of yt, but there wont be an era that's like 2008 - 2016, best years of my life. and now those years are gone.
The new kind of youtubers were brought about by viners looking for new media and the extreme change in youtube's policies. Still, Its nice to see that some of the OG Tubers are still here.
I remember those golden days. 2015-2016 were the best UA-cam years. Filthy Frank and Jontron at their peak. Everything was so real and sincere. I liked the authenticity and sheer joy they felt from what they're doing.
Sadly I agree. I've only watch youtube for 10 years, but it makes me sad seeing how downhill its gone. I'm glad a lot of classic content creators have stayed and tried to keep doing their thing.
Not going to lie, as a 2016 Veteran, even though it is part of growing up, I feel like the more the years gone by, the more UA-cam becomes more corporate and soulless the more it holds its mainstream appeal
Did you really just use the word veteran and 2016 in the same sentence? I thought “no way this dude is this delusional, he must have server” only to realize…
Amazing video, seeing how much things have changed brings a tear to my face, well done, thank you. Really appreciate a brief moment for Etika in the video, may his soul rest in peace.
@@naenae2350quit being such a sourpuss. life is full of sunshine and rainbows. go claim the day and quit watching videos about what used to be. all we have is the present make the most out of it.

Ah the old golden days of UA-cam from 2010-2016. When people use to respect each other and collab instead of going into dramas and influencer boxing matches
As a person who grew up with UA-cam and watched this era of UA-cam I just wanna say that these are the types of channels that have made me want to make videos, and it’s absolutely cool to see that other people also agree with this!
@@Kaz-sg1ih well, it was mainly consisting of a bunch of gameplays, gamer houses and challenges, pretty much like the old English UA-cam but in Arabic and a little bit more extreme since most of us have anger issues
UA-cam has always had constant drama, but now pretty much everyone is annoying as well, and there's those awful clickbait-y thumbnails on top of it all. I hate 😱 thumbnails so god damn much. Also, is it just me, or have a lot of youtube dudes been exposed as uh. Liking children too much. The past 5 years? UA-camrs have celebrity status these days, so I guess it's typical that some charismatic but secretly unsavory people would be drawn to it. Narcissists love the spotlight after all. I kinda miss the days where making youtube videos made you a loser, because everything was more authentic then. People were making videos for fun and not money.
@@0BucketMask0 yes that's around that period honestly, a lot of the truly bad ppl on this site really came out around this time and you wouldn't know them unless via kiwi farms and other forums
I'm tired of nowadays contents so I went back to all of those old YT videos from the legends... It felt so nostalgic & I even really miss them so much❤
It's hard to grasp the concept that some of that was 6 to 8 years ago. Back then I was just a teen worried about getting into college who had just met my husband. How I wish to go back and tell myself to enjoy that time a little more...
this brought tears to my eyes and love to my heart. dont cry because its over, smile because it happened. i grew up with all of these youtubers and i still watch them today.
I gotta say that I really do miss the old days of UA-cam where the thumbnails wasn’t flashy or hyper edited and there weren’t any terrible UA-camrs like N3ON or Jack Doherty
Had a UA-cam account since 2010 at home but been watching, off and on, at the library and school since 2008. Good on ya man, miss the old!! (My original pfp was lost in the last five years, so I've been using random Miku pfps since 2019.)

I miss Windows 7,miss Nokia,miss 2000s,where
I haven’t born.
Hits harder now that Tom and MatPat are retiring.... 😭
Etika…i miss you bro…
I miss the the 2000s and 2010s UA-cam
0:33 hits harder now that MatPat quit Game Theory.
I wish i was a young innocent child again so bad
Honestly, the UA-cam when 100k subs was deemed almost an impossible target was the most fun.
People were still figuring out sketches, commentaries, walkthroughs and shit like that on their own. Now everyone is so set in the same 'working' formula. It lost a lot of its charm.
ugh im actually gonna cry. the nostalgia packed in this one video is too much for me to handle 😭
I miss 08 shane dawson. People used to post whatever they wanted without fear of being cancelled
no filthy frank = not old youtube
Exactly
00:44 I miss those days really bad
UA-cam became trash since yt shorts came out
I don't want UA-cam to turn into Tik-Tok
I agree 😾
@@Aiden_Muslim 😶🌫️
YT lost it's own identity!!
@@Aiden_Muslimtoo late
The old PewDiePie, was the best. The old markiplier, Game Theory is retired now, UA-cam lost it's magic.
EDIT: Next time, please add Guava Juice
this is too much emotion and nostalgia for me to handle, i used to watch these guys when I was THREE.
these guys built up my childhood through happy wheels and amnesia, sure they kind of awkward and were finding their footing through their first years of yt, but there wont be an era that's like 2008 - 2016, best years of my life. and now those years are gone.
The new kind of youtubers were brought about by viners looking for new media and the extreme change in youtube's policies.
Still, Its nice to see that some of the OG Tubers are still here.
Love this video man, nostalgia is a helluva thing 😊
Thanks
I remember those golden days. 2015-2016 were the best UA-cam years. Filthy Frank and Jontron at their peak. Everything was so real and sincere. I liked the authenticity and sheer joy they felt from what they're doing.
Sadly I agree. I've only watch youtube for 10 years, but it makes me sad seeing how downhill its gone. I'm glad a lot of classic content creators have stayed and tried to keep doing their thing.
Not going to lie, as a 2016 Veteran, even though it is part of growing up, I feel like the more the years gone by, the more UA-cam becomes more corporate and soulless the more it holds its mainstream appeal
"2016 veteran" lol. More like rookie
@@ugandanknuckle505 ok
dude it's been 8 years@@ugandanknuckle505
2016 does not make you a veteran lol more like 2005 to 2012 lol
Did you really just use the word veteran and 2016 in the same sentence? I thought “no way this dude is this delusional, he must have server” only to realize…
recently ive been pretty grateful for most of the online part of my childhood bc kids now wont have what i had
I also miss old youtube.
First time i saw youtube video was in 2009, well things change a lot since then.
Amazing video, seeing how much things have changed brings a tear to my face, well done, thank you. Really appreciate a brief moment for Etika in the video, may his soul rest in peace.
Now get ready everyone because everything is going to get so MUCH WORSE
I miss old UA-cam when UA-camrs use to do fun stuff respect each other and their was no drama and no one went after each others necks over an opinion.
UA-cam has so many videos nowadays, finding the good stuff out there is worth it still to this day
I just miss ryan's videos so freaking much I can't even explain
I still watch vannos. The fnaf gun video was the first youtube video i remember. What a time to be alive.
The fact I remember when this era was new youtube and 2005 was old makes me feel even older
Started watching UA-cam back in 2008. Feels so nostalgic to look back at all the veteran content creators vs where they are now. 😇
Now real life is more fun than escapism.
nah, nothing's fun at this point
@@naenae2350quit being such a sourpuss. life is full of sunshine and rainbows. go claim the day and quit watching videos about what used to be. all we have is the present make the most out of it.
@@naenae2350 Eating some nice food or the first sip of coffee of the day is honestly the most enjoyable experience I get out of an average day now. I used to be full of joy as a kid, now there is none left.
@@Skumtomten1 I feel you, try to find fun in new things and dont compare it to how it used to be. Its fine having the past as a beautiful memory to visit from time to time
I do agree 👍💯 though part of their plan u know as always delivers
Ah the old golden days of UA-cam from 2010-2016. When people use to respect each other and collab instead of going into dramas and influencer boxing matches
I'd say the golden period was earlier than that; 2005-2009
but 2015-2016 were literally the years of dumb youtube dramas.
@@SicketMogidk about 2005 but 2007 and up for sure
Then late 2010s and early 2020s came in and everything went to shit
eh?
i thought the boxing match is for charity no?
"I missed the good ol days man..."

Man I wish I got to experience it more. I started using UA-cam in 2015 at 5 years old
Having watched youtube pretty much regularly almost since it started I can relate
well atleast smosh is back
Yea
We all miss the old youtube!!
I loved old UA-cam too but there’s also new fun things here!
Fantastic edit! Gave me the feels!
Thanks!
You don't miss old UA-cam,
You just miss being happy.
Old UA-cam made us happy.
this would've been nostalgic if i was chronically online
As a person who grew up with UA-cam and watched this era of UA-cam I just wanna say that these are the types of channels that have made me want to make videos, and it’s absolutely cool to see that other people also agree with this!
it's sad, just based on the video style and attitude of certain videos, instantly shows the era of youtube it's from
I mainly watched Arabic UA-cam but this still gives me chills even tho I haven't watched any of these creators back in their prime
I watched french youtube and a bit english
Late but, how's arabic youtube? or how was it like?
@@Kaz-sg1ih well, it was mainly consisting of a bunch of gameplays, gamer houses and challenges, pretty much like the old English UA-cam but in Arabic and a little bit more extreme since most of us have anger issues
UA-cam has always had constant drama, but now pretty much everyone is annoying as well, and there's those awful clickbait-y thumbnails on top of it all. I hate 😱 thumbnails so god damn much. Also, is it just me, or have a lot of youtube dudes been exposed as uh. Liking children too much. The past 5 years? UA-camrs have celebrity status these days, so I guess it's typical that some charismatic but secretly unsavory people would be drawn to it. Narcissists love the spotlight after all. I kinda miss the days where making youtube videos made you a loser, because everything was more authentic then. People were making videos for fun and not money.
you do realize half of these issues were way worse back then you just didn't realize especially the children part
@@seresyuro when is "back then" for you? Because the youtube I'm talking about was like 2006 through 2009. I've been on this site since the beginning.
@@0BucketMask0 yes that's around that period honestly, a lot of the truly bad ppl on this site really came out around this time and you wouldn't know them unless via kiwi farms and other forums
I'm tired of nowadays contents so I went back to all of those old YT videos from the legends... It felt so nostalgic & I even really miss them so much❤
The feels and nostalgia hits hard man....... I really do miss old UA-cam man the best era, now all we got is shorts and brain rot.....
You all don't miss it you miss how you felt
I miss when youtubers pay animators to animate they gameplay, the internet funny songs, vines...
Made me happy seeing Ryan Higa there. He was one of my top creators on the platform.
For me, old youtube was 07-11. Those were my best of youtube! 😢
It's hard to grasp the concept that some of that was 6 to 8 years ago. Back then I was just a teen worried about getting into college who had just met my husband. How I wish to go back and tell myself to enjoy that time a little more...
Man old youtube was a gem...
Dude this hits straight in the feels. Such a wonderful edit as well; I love how you paired the images with the lyrics❤
Thanks, glad you liked it
this brought tears to my eyes and love to my heart. dont cry because its over, smile because it happened. i grew up with all of these youtubers and i still watch them today.
dont cry bro😢
Man I miss the old days watching vanoss and stampy the only og's I really care about.
Remember when UA-cam was all about creativity, free time and no monetization during the old days?
_Pepperidge Farm remembers._ 😔
Before everything has become commercial.. good times. Glad I experienced the golden times of UA-cam.
Uberhaxornova that channel ... i miss the old days... funny this video brings me back to 2010 when i saw james playing assassins creed brotherhood...
I gotta say that I really do miss the old days of UA-cam where the thumbnails wasn’t flashy or hyper edited and there weren’t any terrible UA-camrs like N3ON or Jack Doherty
now mat pat is gone
I remember I started using UA-cam when a channel can customize their theme when a visitor went to their channel. ahh good times.
Had a UA-cam account since 2010 at home but been watching, off and on, at the library and school since 2008. Good on ya man, miss the old!! (My original pfp was lost in the last five years, so I've been using random Miku pfps since 2019.)
23 and grew up on this platform youtube maybe different but its still ours and the rules only made us more creative ❤
