Not just the videos but the way of discovery was way better on old youtube.
The 'recently uploaded' or whatever it was called on the main page was just whatever randoms had uploaded when you got on the page. Always a chance for wild shyt.
The video responses had some fukkery too later on.

:mjcry: fukk corporatism for real

i still stand by funniest person i saw online was mr chi city mane

Those early YouTubers really were before their time. Just like the early podcasters. They were doing it for fun and the love of making the content. They didn’t get to see the pay days people are getting now.

I put my boy on to it back in 05 when it jumped off. My nikka missed the next day of work talking about he found so much shyt he needed to watch before they took the site down. :heh:

I don’t know if we got some BGOL vets in here but there was a nikka named Mr. No Good that ran a bootleg porn site fukking dope fiends out his van and had a podcast. That was easily one of the funniest podcasts I had ever heard He had that shyt jumping back in like 2008. All he did was talk about his fukked up life making porn and his hating ass live in baby momma. :mjlol: If podcasting was big back when he was doing it he would be rich. I believe his screen name there was EVF, but it’s not the same EVF that posts here.
