Another Idea I’ve had: The site should allow for more detailed filtered searches (I’d suggest the ability to search by percentage and range of physical number of likes, dislikes or mixed opinions, range of view count, a range of dates of upload, if it is monetized or not, if it was ever on trending and if so where did it peak and when, and by range of the channels subscriber count) What do you think?

Getting 5 mil views on 7 mil subscribers is pretty insane by current standards. It's incredibly rare nowadays for subscriber count to directly translate to views. Smosh has 26 mil subscribers now, and 5 mil is still a better performing video. Pewdiepie has over 100 mil subs, but a fraction of that in views.

Like the fact that they had Lunchtime with Smosh and Mail Time with Smosh which is literally modern KZread today just mukbangs and creating super editing content of just hanging out with your friends. It’s so entertaining! And they pioneered it! I feel like if they did just vlog style stuff of them trying out food and going on target buying sprees it would completely FILL MY FANGIRL HEART. Like seeing Ian and Anthony just hanging out as best friends like they did back in the day would be crazy! And a lot of the new stuff today is just that.

51:55 Very random but not that random story. When I was about 9 years old (in 2013 funnily enough), the kids on my cul de sac were a big community and everyone would hang out.

Wow I like this one!!! Please more episode like this. I always love listening to you guys talk about anything, but especially your opinion on youtube contents over the year.

The sniping on their intellect subtitles are killing me. I love it!

2013 was the freaking BOMB! I remember I’d just started middle school around then. Ah, middle school, the best 3 years of my life. And if you ask me, the golden age of KZread was around 2008-2017, though it has seen a recovery in recent years, especially with Minecraft making a comeback in 2019 and you guys reuniting last year.

Anthony: Oh Tobuscus- Ian: OOF 😬😬

I feel like majority of people my age (22) had the same exposure to KZread as I did. I was probably aware of KZread around 2010. Occasionally going on it, but never doing much in depth stuff. It wasn’t until 2012/2013 that I feel like a lot people jumped on board and became consistent viewers on the platform. As I remember always watching Smosh, Vanossgaming, and RayWilliamJohnson, Ryan Higa, etc. pretty crazy to see how different the platform is now and how a lot of creators have either dipped, been arrested/canceled, or moved onto bigger things from the platform. I feel like 2012/2013 was the Big Bang for KZread gathering such a massive audience and being taken seriously. As meme culture became very relevant as well, the internet was becoming a breeding ground.

Now that Ian and Anthony are back together we need a new rewind for old times sake

I like watching you guys contemplating different aspects about ur experience, and I think that’s what makes this channel real

I LITERALLY JUST CAME FROM 2013 KZread REWIND !! - best one
