What is so good about a "normal taste in music"? Anyway, I was nearly an adult when this site came out, so I don't really have childhood nostalgia for it, but I still have waaaaaay better memories than the corporate hellhole it's become.

I was born in 2005 so i didn't exactly get to see every single meme or whatever youtube had to offer, when i was around 8 or 9 however is when i started using it. Usually i just watched whatever my older sister showed me: charlie the unicorn, the duck song, pewdiepie, etc. And whenever i watch those videos now i get a MASSIVE wave of nostalgia, that and embarrassment knowing the weird ass comments i made as a dumbass kid are probably still on the videos lol...i'm 14 now, turning 15 next month and sometimes i wish i could just go back to those times...life was simpler, i was oblivious to all the horrors of the world and i made so many fun memories that i just want to relive all again...

These days the reason for you to upload is, because you want to become famous rich youtuber. You don't get paid to do it, so why do it?? That's how many channels operate now.

The earliest things I can remember I used to watch were Wassabi Productions, FR3D, Smosh, Annoying Orange, Try Not To Laugh comps, and "SO rAndom LOL" animations that I'd find by looking up stuff from my fav fandoms like Sonic and Pokemon. Later on I looked at ASDF, clips from shows I watched, random metal and rock from bands I'd hear in animations, cringy ship AMVs, MS paint animations (Oh God the amount of Animal I Have Become animations XD), and animations that would be pulled from NewGrounds randomly :O I miss that kind of YT so much. It feels like the only way to get any relevance is to have a whole team, make a well edited 10-17 min video only talking about popular stuff in a nicely lit and decorated room/studio, or talk about the exact same subject until people catch on to your channel.

Yeah, it was a simpler time.

the videos that I would watch back then was old let’s play videos like one youtuber that played plants vs zombies and temple run, parody videos like Mario Kart The Movie (screw youtube for screwing with short videos), Dragon ball z “full episodes”, and stickman videos

Even I miss the old youtube myself! I honestly miss when youtube itself used to be a video sharing site for anyone to make videos and upload them on to youtube. Back when youtube was meant to be fun from it's older days and it wasn't taken that seriously and even the times when clickbait videos weren't a thing and I will Always will miss when anyone was allowed to say anything on this platform too! back when I remember those times when people would be allowed to say the f slur. And would not get their comments removed by youtube that I did know in fact I did remember there did exist this one old youtube video from the 2000s that was called My wii is evil aka a bad video that even the owner of the video admits his own video sucks, since he goes on saying it sucks and even decides to call himself the f slur That I can no longer see his comment anymore since his own video comment section got turn off by youtube which I think it was obviously on how youtube themselves. Decide to turn the comment section off from that video all because he say the f slur on his own comment section since I know in fact youtube doesn't like that word That own gay dudes can say since they find it way too toxic for their own platform, which it is always a shame to see such good stuff end up changing from good to bad.. :/

Watching this video made me want to watch the cute Mario Bros series again

Never forget Your Favorite Martian

I feel like old and the new YT are still the same to me, except its more popular now and it has gotten better quality videos.

I like both eras for different reasons honestly.

Honestly most of what I’ve watched on KZread when I was younger was Mario plush channels, and some were... interesting. I also remember this one thing called “Dick figures” which some stick man thing.

I watched a couple of them, but my main focus was the Cute Mario Bros personally.

This is really embarrassing but hey I was a kid, there were movie/anime clips that synced with fart sound effects....that was my first introduction to dragon ball on KZread. I also used to watch tons of Lego videos back then, “the Lego gun store”.Glad I found someone who’s not a part of plushtube who knows cute Mario bros, now plush videos are everywhere

They really were the first plush content creators on that platform. It's kinda surprising that I found them in the first place, but they almost immediately became my favorite channel on KZread at the time.

That scatman mario vid was probably made by smg4, a guy who now owns his own animation company, glitch, with his brother

I once got in trouble for watching a Mario x Peach AMV a long time ago

I remember watching the "Resident Evil Musicals" by Shadow Leggy and other resident evil parodies on my friends Wii way back when.

Using KZread on Wii always felt cool. It was one of the first places outside of my computer that you could watch it on.

The dancing Banana was more popularized by family guy which is where I found it lol
