Where the hell did all that time go?
Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool’s “10,000 Days” album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.
I’m old enough to remember when YouTube was a separate account from your Google login.
Created my account in 2008. Can’t remember because I deleted my account last year. Anyway, the earliest memory of Youtube I have was seeing Kimbo Slice punch a fridge. Speaking of Kimbo Slice, check out the names of his son and grandchildren.
I just can’t 😂 (Hint: Kimbo Legacy and Kevlar)
Watching Kimbo Slice beat the shit out of people in random back yards was peak. Beat the hell out of needing to download the whole thing before watching it like you had to do with Red vs Blue
Damn people have free will and choose to ruin their children’s lives like that
Had a meeting with our sales guy, and he asked how long I’d been running the same engineering software since I knew it so well.
Me: about 27 years.
Him: that’s longer than I have been alive.
Oof
I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.
Ah Razor tool now makes sense in KDEnlive editor
Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.
If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.
Well shit, I think I might be one of the oldest here.
I wonder if you’ll still get prompted to prove you’re over 18.
may 05 here
Ha! I got ya beat. Barely.
Got you by two months.
You beat me by 12 days
March 4, 2006 for me. Looks like a lot of us signed up around the same time. If memory serves, wouldn’t that have been about the time that YouTube first got absorbed by Google?
Mine says 2011. But I’ve been online since 2005. 2001 if You count dial up. Guess You didn’t need an account back then.
I was curious so I checked mine.
Aug 24, 2006.
Jesus I’m old.
Me too, team 2006 checking in!
Crazy that it’s been 10 years since I joined. Right guys? It’s been 10 years? 👨🏻 👴🏻 💀
Can I join the club too?
I even still have the old URL from the days when it didn’t require the @:
That’s my Bday bro…
Apr 19, 2006 for me.
I miss when the most watched video was Evolution of Dance.
Found it. wow, this video looks like shit. I remember it in ultra high def.
This definitely got worse over time. Which does happen when YouTube makes changes.
killer bean and badger badger badger for the OGs
Ohhhhh what a classic. I remember huddling around my girlfriend’s (at the time) family computer watching that one god know how many times in a row. Also, hat one with David Blaine but it was this other kid pretending to be him doing impossible tricks.
I’ll drop a knee-breaking one:
I was born in 2006.
Impossible.
Young whippersnapper!
Mine is may 2009, but I had one for years before that. 2009 is just when my YouTube and google accounts merged
