We had dial up slow internet in the mid 2000s so a YT music video took over an hour to load. That’s all I got.

Depending on what you watch it’s probably better than watching TV. You can learn just about anything on YouTube

I remember seeing Lonely Island shorts migrating to the new platform forever ago. I assumed it would give me a virus or something.

I remember the "Unforgivable" videos. I thought I had read that the guy in them passed away but apparently it was the guy who filmed them not the guy talking.

I remember arguing with a coworker that wouldn't let his son on the site. He was convinced it was full of naked women and porn, I showed him a video of someone teaching you how to play "My Guitar Gently Weeps" and he immediately set up an account

I remember watching a bunch of Andy Mckee videos on Youtube when I was still at LSU working in the CEBA computer lab. Good times.

I remember the first time I heard about YouTube I thought it didn’t make sense. Why would anyone want to watch other peoples’ home videos.
