The world was just a better and simpler place. Not everything was politicized and monetized AI bullshit designed to generate clicks. Plus there were actually some great ideas too that spread like wildfire. Seems like there isn't as much innovation these days because all the simple and fun stuff has already been done.

Much like the rest of the web, early Youtube was populated by people that had something they wanted to show and share and weren't chasing advertising money. These days it's not only completely saturated but the majority of producers are trying to regurgitate old content in the way that most effectively gets views.

Anyone know if Kipkay is still alive?
