Youtube was wild as f*ck when it first came out

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

The end of YouTube for me was when everyone wanted to make a profit off it after Google bought it. Before that, it was just random people posting shyt for laughs, entertainment, or education.

Nah, the real end of youtube was when lyor cohen took over youtube's music division. He's the reason the policing on it is so heavy and water tight

 

[PimpHandStrong]

Lmao I remember you could legit have porn on it for a few days or even weeks before it got flagged

All the twerk videos

 

[LezJepzin]

I've been looking for that "Looking ass nikka" song and it's only taking me to some Nicky Minaj shyt. You know what I'm talking about?

 

[reserved_one]

YouTube was the shyt before it got corporate. It was completely organic with a human feel to it...now it's souless.

[SleezyBigSlim]

He told no lies tho.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Yep. Talked about the monetization and how they were controlling the content. He walked away from a big bag.

Facebook when it was only college addresses >
Dailymotion was my go-to at one point during YouTube's primitive years.

EDIT: I was not looking for porn on YouTube. You had YouPorn and RedTube for that.

Dailymotion didn't allow full blown porn but they had an NSFW section with nudes and softcore shyt

After Google bought YouTube in 2006 they became stricter on copyright but Dailymotion didn't give a fukk. Movies, wrestling, everything.

Daily motion still has all that now but their player is trash and after they got bought in 2014 they nuked the whole NSFW section. Nobody uses that site anymore

I’m ahh I remember them days I could watch the whole DBZ and Naruto series without worrying the video was gonna get taken down the next day.

07 was the highlight year I remember when Pokemon Diamond and Pearl dropped for the DS mfs was uploading wifi battle vids recorded off they phone or camera damn near every day.


The Chocolate rain nikka

the porno/twerk videos


Inboxing and video responses

Early YouTube was like pornsites,crunchyroll,gaming sites and forums rolled into one

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Where is that preacher with the pony tail that cursed at all the callers and danced around with the horrible camera man?? My guy was straight comedy. Wait found him.

Those were actually from public access TV in the mid-late 90s but early YouTube gave it a second life.
