      Someone obviously is either too young to remember or simply forgot what it was like back then.
      It also wasn't an overnight change. Yes, CZcams allowed their creators to be paid, but it took time for the greediness and censorship to set in, as is the case with every single societal change throughout history.
      So yes, CZcams was better back then, we just didn't notice until now because it happened gradually until it became completely different. So you're wrong.

    I started this account on November 19th 2005 and I’ve been here since the very beginning, a very long way youtube has came. I really do miss the time when it wasn’t all for monetization and just a site you visited every few days to watch some silly videos, honestly when I think youtube went downhill was when youtubers had to become more “kid friendly” to keep ads on the videos. I don’t know if anyone else agrees with my opinion but please let me know how you feel about modern day youtube in replies, I’d love to read them!

    • @physical_insanity
      @physical_insanity Před rokem +7

      From one oldphag to another, I salute you. I may not have made my account then, but I've been using the site as early as '07, maybe even '06. It's been a long time since CZcams was good, but then again, it's been like that all over the Internet. At least with Musk buying Twitter, we can see a return to form of 2016 era CZcams, and maybe even more past eras if we're lucky. The issue is when the company got politically co-opted. People more interested in pushing an agenda than making a good business just ruined it, and Susan is one of the worst among them. Maybe it was when CZcams tried targeting kids more that CZcams started going downhill, but when it just became another arm of the political machine is when the final nail in the coffin was hammered home.
      Modern CZcams is both a blessing and curse. I watch a lot of fringe content, so I'm worried about anything happening to the channels I subscribe to, and that gives me a constant source of stress to worry about. It's frustrating, because CZcams will target that content, but leave others exactly like it, if not worse, alone. It doesn't help the rules are so arbitrary. Content has generally gone seriously downhill, but at least through that it's encouraged me to find new and interesting things to watch, helping me grow for the better. It's all mostly mindless drivel these days, so I'm always watching something that's _different,_ something that's actually interesting.
      But the worst part has to be when I get a notification that my comments have infringed on the rules, even though I know I haven't done anything to break them. Even worse is the fact they don't show me what my comment was, and since I post dozens, if not close to a hundred, comments a day, I have no idea what was wrong. Reading the rules doesn't help, either.
      Sorry for the ramble. I write a lot for work as it is, so I can't be bothered to clean this up.

    RWJ is back doing similar things to =3 just not named it, its not exactly the same but its as close as it can get with modern times, and his cartoon band Your favourite Martian is back making songs with an upgraded style too! Jenna just got happily married as well:) I know smosh isn't the same but they're still bringing smiles to a new age of children and I'm glad they're able to do that thanks to Rhett and Link and mythical entertainment, pewds is in his retirement years and if you want just relaxing calm videos that feel like an epilogue of so much drama but is really just a much happier new chapter of someone we all grew up with hes still uploading. Memes are algorithmic now but you can find some really fun and silly stuff along with music and groups similar to Golden age CZcams still. Skits animations and everything have just gotten more nicer and theirs so many editing communities like this that make so much as thank yous and appreciations of times we all miss. Back then it was all so much more innocent because media wasn't really a thing being pushed and sold nonstop but it's still there it just doesn't feel as big as it once was because not everyone's talking about the same stuff anymore. I hope everyone has an amazing new year in 2023 we may be past golden silver and bronze age but this age isn't the worst it could be:) there will be bad and there will be good I'm excited to see a similar edit to this come the next 10 years I'm greatful I get to experience it with all of you as I did in the beginning of all of this:)

    Back when CZcams was a platform for everything the Internet had to offer. I recognised almost everything in here. I'd been using YT since 2008 when I was five. First time I'd ever been on the Internet and I still remember it clearly. Of course I had to ask for permission, and my parents always kept an eye on what I was looking at. But I think I actually miss 2009/2010 YT. Everything was different then. And I'd say things started to slowly decline past 2012

      Now CZcamsr being a very risky job is a thing that needs a large amount of courage to walk with and if someone finds the fact of them earning life security out of it as "a bad trait" you 100% want to rethink.

H3H3 now collabs with SJWtubers like Hasan so while he was probably good once (wasn't the best even then, he was still worse at comedy than Idubz, Jontron, etc), he's now a regulation soyboy.

      @@icommittedtaxfraudin gotta agree with @christgriffin, early youtube was great without all the edgelords, the thing that made youtube great wasn’t the “dark humor” it was the fact that people uploaded weird content for no ulterior motive other than having a laugh. Even though there are a lot of channels nowadays who do that, they are few and far between, and most of youtube is filled with the same clickbait mr. Beast clone. Edgelords like leafy were the main reason why youtube is like it is now.
