You're absolutely spot on. Back then there were less 'talking head' videos of people just wanting to talk about stuff and so many lunatics doing all manner of absurd and ridiculous 'stuff'....It's like the ideas have run out these days and/or the audience has become more (boringly) sophisticated. and the creators just want the video to be all about them!
It's not all bad of course but it is different!
Great post and I hope punk mama and her family are all doing well :-)
Colin Furze was the first channel I actively followed. The boy is bonkers but has also toned it down a little as he became more mainstream but he is brilliant!
I've seen only the two last ones before this and I think I remember seeing the cats and dogs video. Thank you for all these that were all new to me. Love the ninja and the muffin videos. Hilarious! :D
Can't remember what I watched from YouTube about 20 years ago, will post something if I stumble in to one and remember seeing it, but here's one cat video that I think I've watched repeatedly most likely over 100 times by now because it's soooo... Well, check it out.
Oh my god, 2000 was 20 years ago?! You made me go self concious there! xD
Hahhaha, the barking cat's a classic! I wonder what he / she was trying to accomplish with the barking - make other cats stay out of their territory? :D
Nice post with some good memories. I must admit being a sixties - yes you read correct - sixties I really did not watch any you tube as it did not exist. These days I basically only watch YouTube videos, when I want to fix something that I have not done before, you can fix anything through watching YouTube videos!!
YouTube sure can be a great resource of information alongside enterntainment. If it's not for fixing something, one can use it to study anything from History to playing an instrument to programming and so on.
These videos bring back so many memories! I remember being in the 1-million subscriber club of PewDiePie and I loved watching his videos. Lately, he has gotten a bit... boring for me and I stopped watching. I loved the "The Walking Dead" playthrough he made.
I also still watch a lot of Minecraft videos by people like Etho's Lab (used to watch CaptainSparklez as well... his Mianite series).
At the moment, I just watch anything that comes up on my feed. I love watching Nathaniel Drew and Matt D'Avella. I also watched a lot of Casey Neistat, but haven't really been vibing with him lately.
Well, this already goes into the 2010's which I might make a separate post about some day but I'll try to keep my reply short:
I subscribed to Pewds when he was around 300k subs. He used to have a forum for his fans and I hung out in the chatbox there a lot (he never showed up there but I made a couple friends from Sweden that I haven't spoken to for years now). Those were some nice times, except for a lot of spammers logging in just once to spam ''BARRELS!'' into the chat (LMAO!).
Of other gaming YouTubers I used to watch SeaNanners and his friends a lot. At some point I had a huge Tobuscus phase at the same time with a Jacksfilms phase (not a gaming YouTuber tho).

Luckilly there still are some lunatics out there on Youtube like for example Colin Furze - he's fucking crazy and awesome! :D
We've had our major downs but it seems things are finally starting to get better. Hope you and your closed ones are good and healthy!

20 years ago indeed. Terrible.
I bet the cat was trying to control dogs. That video never showed the longs lines of dogs under that window. Before the cat told then to scram.
