I remember making my first account on YouTube in 2005, when I was 10 (and yes, that account is still up). At the time, it was a brand new site and it was mostly old music videos and old TV shows that people had uploaded. YouTube quickly became the fastest-growing site in internet history and, when Google's competitor Google Video flopped, Google decided to just buy YouTube instead. That, of course, started a long process of YouTube gradually becoming shittier and shittier with each passing year. In a few years, YouTube will be mostly AI-generated gigaslop with EPI thumbnails and multiple ads randomly inserted into each video. And the worst thing is that that really won't be much different than what YouTube currently is anyways.
