      Kitsune no kidding. i remember when stupid google made us sign up 4 a stupid fucking google+ account 2 comment on videos & ruined the comment section on november 6 2013. i thought since it shut down we’d get the old comment layout with the top two thumbed up ones back & could thumb them down again :( i remember one of the guys who launched youtube bitched about having 2 get a fucking google+ account. it was one of the worst days of my life cuz of that & cuz i had my wisdom teeth out. i remember how sore my mouth was & how uncomfortable the gauze was in it. they were infected too & i puked a lot. i could only eat soft food & drink v8. somebody started a petition 2 let susan whatshername go & i signed it. i hope it gets a shit ton of more signatures or she still does somehow. she became ceo in 2014 & fucked up youtube even more with all these stupid reaction & challenge videos. in july 2018 i went 2 the new layout on my computer just 2 see if the restore old youtube button was was there but it was gone. i cried 4 a couple weeks. i had 2 download two add-ons & a script 2 get it back. now they dont even work anymore. im not really on my computer that much anymore cuz of that & im on my phone more. somebody should sue stupid fucking google, force them 2 give youtube back 2 the guys who launched it & change it back 2 one of the layouts from 2006-2011!!! i miss youtube the way it was in 2008 when i made my account when the title was on top the video, not under it, when the subscribe button was yellow, video responses, the star rating, when the video description was on the right, when u could customize, design & decor8 ur channel, when there werent any stupid ads anywhere, when u could have friends, write 2 them & had an inbox, when there was no stupid fucking youtube kids app & u could comment on those videos & when the slogan was broadcast yourself :( stupid fucking google, susan whatshername & stupid damn coppa ruined youtube :( shes gotta go now

    my favorite part about this video is that it actually shows videos that you would see on the recommended according to the time period.
    Not just focusing on trends and memes that maybe eve you remember, but also the videos that will just randomly be there on what was trending at the time, and videos that were made a few months ago but the algorithm thinks you'll like it.
    Also, +1 at the fact that every thumbnail, even the ones slightly offscreen, plays a clip of the video. even showing the evolution of youtube videos themselves. showing how we went from flip-phones and blackberries to IPhones and professional cameras. Its the little things that make me love unique videos like these.

    If you had started UA-cam in 2019 then no worries because there is motivations for new UA-camrs. Starting a UA-cam channel back in the old days does not always mean you will quickly gain a whole lot of subs.

    That second screen, I remember that second screen. I remember the old days of UA-cam, just seeing random videos here and there. Then one day I encountered him, the Angry Nintendo Nerd. Seeing those featured videos in this video brought back a lot of memories of clicking on them and enjoying them.
