Where the hell did all that time go?
Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool’s “10,000 Days” album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.
People born when you’ve created your YouTube account are now adults. Some are planning to have children.
Think about that.
So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.
19 is not an adult, even if technically they are in the legal sense, thats still firmly in the kid territory. To think some are planning for kids at that age just shows how immature they are.
19 year old are not children. Maybe a transitional state, but for closer to being an adult than a “kid”.
I’ll drop a knee-breaking one:
I was born in 2006.
Impossible.
Bro is 19. He can vote.
I’m old enough to remember when YouTube was a separate account from your Google login.
Well shit, I think I might be one of the oldest here.
Got me beat. June of 2006 for me.
I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(
The absolute first video I saw on YouTube was the evolution of dance… which was one of the first ever viral videos ever…
I think that one predates YouTube. I remember first watching it on a friends computer who shared his files during a LAN party
It was first uploaded to youtube, it is possible that your friend downloaded (I am sure it was possible even back then) or simply showed it to you and you weren’t aware it was YouTube. I didn’t even know what YouTube was when I was first saw it in 2006.
may 05 here
In amongst then pack, it seems
12th of December 2006 here.
Now show us your Steam age
Mine says 2011. But I’ve been online since 2005. 2001 if You count dial up. Guess You didn’t need an account back then.
On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?
My oldest account I can still access is my eBay account at roughly 20 years old. Next oldest is my Steam account at 18.
Who TF is looking at YT in the shower? Bro, wash off, rub one out and dry off. You need at least like 30 seconds a day away from your screen. They didn’t water protect your phone so you could doomscroll instead of washing your ass.
According to a quick search the biggest cohort of YouTube users is 25 to 34, your account is not older than most people on YouTube. I’d apologize for being a pedantic asshole but I’d be lying, I thrive on it.
This makes me feel better actually. I always get the vibe that it’s all kids and teenagers. Maybe because they’ve made it too “soft” for lack of a better word that I can think of rn. I’ll stop back in another 19 years.
Older people consume the content because that’s the dynamic that we are used to. Few produce it, we don’t have much we “need” to share or say, we are also busy earning. Young people are also busy earning, but it just so happens that their business is the platform, and they “need” to share - not that anyone is asking them to except for the advertising machine that feeds off the engagement, click and rage bait.
I don’t even think under 18s can post, so what’s your metric you’re even using here?
Vibes only. High margin of error when it comes to actual numbers but it still feels that way to me. I was only informed of the actual stats in this very thread. Can’t mark this as the first time I’m been way off the mark. Ive kinda made a habit of it which is fine with enough beer.
You forget that most adults are mentally children, only with more money and less time. My homelab is just a more expensive lego set.
I remember asking my dad why he didn’t watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn’t like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.
To be fair, I don’t like the cartoons that existed when he was a kid anymore. But I still like the ones that existed when I was a kid. And I very much like the ones that didn’t exist yet when I was a kid but do exist now.
So his opinion made sense at the time.
Yeah I not longer enjoy the cartoons that are targeted towards kids, with a few exceptions.
Classics like Tom and Jerry survive, and “adult animation” stepped in to save us just before we had to grow up for real.
I dunno, I think all my Lego sets are a factor more expensive than my rack.
I’m sure the number of actual small children that use YouTube is quite high as well, but data would be skewed since they aren’t supposed to be on there. The views of channels that cater to them are on another level.
Until i turned 18 my birthday was the 1st of January somewhere in the 70s or 80s
My " birthday" is 4/20/1969. Giggity.
Tiktok would be pulling most away
Is that the age users entered? Before I was legally an adult I always just added a few years
It was from a marketing data aggregator, so it’s presumably getting it from more than self-reported age, knowing how those scum sucking data vampires are.
Hey, I’m in that cohort! We are legion
Had a meeting with our sales guy, and he asked how long I’d been running the same engineering software since I knew it so well.
Me: about 27 years.
Him: that’s longer than I have been alive.
Oof
I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.
Ah Razor tool now makes sense in KDEnlive editor
Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.
If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.
Ah cool. I had a similar conversation about when art supplies were very costly, even a single she of watercolour paper or a tube of paint, so the artist had to conjure up something worthy and commit to it, rather than digital art where you can churn out a lot of mediocrity because it costs you nothing
