Remember when YouTube was all weird shit by independent creators? I miss those days ;(
@ehurtley There was a time before they started getting sued, and there weren't ads on every video. More like reuploads of songs and videos, indie stuff, weirdo vlogs, etc. Comments were mostly funny instead of toxic. Those days.
@ehurtley (of course those days were losing money)
@malice Ah, the days when the most annoying comment was "first post."
@malice Not really. One of the whole points of Google buying them was to make lawsuits for copyright infringement go away.
It's always been this strange mix of copyrighted content reposted over and over again, actual creative independent stuff, and odd ad-dollar-trolling shit.
