“Nobody cancelled me so I’m cancelling myself” is such a power move!
It's both a power move and a "I'll make my own club!... - Sobs. - And it will be much cooler than your club!... - Sobs. -" move at the same time.
IIRC from a video by Terrible Writing Advice (a channel YT recommended to me after watching this one), "canceling" something will only draw more attention to the thing being "cancelled" just to see what all the fuss is about. And if that's Cody's plan, hats off to him.

It’s funnier knowing that no in fact he did not stand for trans rights and that the first books the Nazis burned were on gender / sexuality, a lot of which was lost for decades.

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

Glad Cody's grown as a person and realized that was a cringe ass take lmao
he was just showing the two extremes and why it wouldnt be like that, ah well its Codys decision to remove what he wants
@@TheSwedishHistorian if even Cody himself agrees it was a cringe take, it was a cringe take
@@TheSwedishHistorian Asking the question "Did colonialism prevent Africa from industrializing or did it save Africans from continuing to live as barbarians" is pretty much on par with asking "Were the Nazis genocidal imperialists or were they trying to save civilization from the Judeo-Bolsheviks?". There isn't any academic debate to be had; there's a correct answer and there's a racist pseudohistorical narrative which rejects the answer which actual historians universally agreed upon.
In framing the scenario as if there are two 'extremes', he lent legitimacy to colonialist views; even if unintentionally. And using a picture of real-world Africans to visually represent "barbarism and tribalism" heavily implies that the colonialist narrative is, to at least some extent, true
Modern Cody recognizes that his decision to play into that "two sides" approach to the morality of colonialism was deeply racist, even though that was not his intention when making the video.

Yeah. Like, ten years ago FF7's remake would have been exciting. When it came, it was "Huh, okay, so just Midgar?" and then it was... alright. Like, it's about as good as the original in some ways and better in other worse in others still. It's a remake reboot thing and I guess it's fine.
But not fine enough to make me want a PS5 for Part 2 or even the updated version just now.

Rather than 2012 at the channels founding, the only remotely believable divergence point to imagine a universe where A.H.H wasn't created would be the 1996 U.S. Presidential Election.
An America under the leadership of Bob Dole may sound like an implausible scenario but no later divergence point holds up to scrutiny.
World peace would've happened.

I massively respect you for being able to acknowledge that you said some really bad shit in the past, acknowledge that it was shitty, and apologize. Mad props.
As a Portuguese myself I am really happy and proud that a countryman of mine was the main inspiration for this channel.
Ohh and also if his videos always ended in global comunism he's probably from Alentejo.
Is Alentejo particularly rife with Communist sentiment?
Or São Pedro da Cova
altentejo is in the NUTS 2 province
@@thereareantsbehindyoureyes7529 and the sky is blue what about it
@@festethephule7553 It is yes.
It all started when the land was divided in the later periods of the Portuguese Reconquista where large sways of land were given by the king to powerful nobles or Monastical orders.
After the end of the Religious Orders in Portugal in the 19th century, the abolishment of the Monarchy in 1910 and the Carnation Revolution in 1974 this lands were casually given out to either landowners who got the land from either buying or inheriting them or (especially after the revolution) were given to entire communities which gradually developed into the comunitarism practise.
When democracy was established Alentejo became a stronghold for the Communist Party of Portugal (PCP) until rather recently when they were surpassed by PS (the socialist party) and Chega because of continuous mismanagement by the Commies.

ditto! i was maybe 12-13 (maybe 6th grade?) when i first watched his video on the korean war, and i was hooked on the ideas of how our world could be so different if small changes were made. Since then, history, especially alternate history, has become basically a hobby for me. For awhile, his earlier videos inspired me to write alternate history stories about whatever time period we were learning about in Social Studies at that time (a few i even turned in for a grade for projects, and my teacher was genuinely surprised anyone cared that much)

Your channel was the first I ever subscribed to and the only one I’ve stayed subscribed to since 2013/14 so this was a great trip down memory lane. If that bit at the start means you have a kid then congrats man!

I HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINED!!!
By originally found your Channel from your Godzilla video. I'm glad I did, because you've produced some extremely entertaining content since then. Here's to many more years of alternate history!
Couldn’t have been that bad, I’ve been watching for over 8 years!
Also, the standards and expectations for TH-camrs has evolved and grown. At the time, you were probably viewed as favorably against you’re peers as you are now.
You’ve grown, your skill has grown, your knowledge has grown, your resources have grown…
You did the best you could with what you had and you continue to do so. I look forward to another 10 years!
That is actually a really good point.
I find myself feeling really critical about the production value, script writing, and articulation of new or niche TH-cam channels.
Thing is, good TH-camrs today used to be like that, but back in those early YT days, we didnt have the finely polished content we practically expect now.
@@stevid8193 To be fair, the availability of quality equipment and software has improved tremendously. Making it way easier to make a good quality product. I mean, compare modern TH-cam to professional commercials of the mid 00s. You'll find better quality from an amateur today than from professionals 20 years ago
What a well worded response. W comment
The idea that Cody, at one point in time, didn't have a voice as deep as the Marianas Trench kinda breaks my brain.
Normal voiced Cody scares me
Cody, you are one of my favorite channels, and the channel that I have subscribed to for the longest. I have been with you since 2014, ever since the "What if the Americas never existed?" video. You have grown tremendously, both in the context and quality of your videos, and in your personal life.
You were still in high school back when I first discovered and subscribed to you. Now, you are married and have a child. I was in 7th grade when I discovered you. Now, I have finished my fourth year of college, but I have not graduated yet. I am so glad that you have improved the quality and content of your videos.
From 2014-16, you often spent the first half of your video summarizing the real history behind the topic of your alternate scenario. You only discussed your actual scenario in the second half of your video, but mostly provide mere generalizations. You justified your short generalizations by saying "this is just one of the many possibilities. We will never know how...", which left the audience in a cliffhanger.
Now, since around 2017, you have changed for the better. Your new videos are about your alternate history scenario first and foremost. You now only provide necessary real-world information during the first few minutes of your scenario, and spend the remaining bulk of your video on your scenario. I appreciate this change because an alternate history channel should be about telling the story of the scenario. Your old style of videos made me disillusioned for some time, but your change is what kept me loyal to this channel. It was also this previous satisfaction where I eventually discovered Whatifalthist. my other favorite channel. He has since transitioned away from alternate history, and is dedicated to real history, geopolitics, current events, and anthropology. I am also glad you reformed before Whatifalthist's genre switch in order to provide a beacon of hope for the Alternate History community in TH-cam and beyond.
I love this channel, and I wish the best for a new generation of objective and realistic alternate history TH-camrs and creators to follow your lead.
8:54 I never knew the Tyler from Suggestion Box was a different Tyler from your brother. I always thought they were the same Tyler.

E
Damn bro, you should have worn a condom. My condolences.
what I like about alternate history, and it is a thing that I think you do really well in your videos, is that by presenting this speculative alternative, you show how big of an impact the actual history has had on our culture, technology beliefs, and just the world in general. the two best videos you did the really illustrates this is the one about "what if the great lakes of north America" didn't exit" and your "if the moon was inhabitable".
you do a great job Cody, keep it up. and remember to take care of yourself.
I started watching your channel in 2016 and it’s crazy to see how much you’ve grown since then. This channel is what got me into watching TH-cam more for random viral videos
It was actually your Fallout lore videos that got me into your channel, and stayed because I also have a fascination with alternate history scenarios. I was also a huge fan of Red Alert growing up, and Man in the High Castle is great. Love that you're taking a look back at your older content. Just shows you how far you've come and grown.
Congratulations on 10 years Cody! Way to slightly improve!
Underrated comment
You should bring back the suggestion box, it'd be funny as hell
Loved this video. Was a lot of fun going back through your older videos. Ngl I came across your channel because of the Rome videos, been following since.
I don't know if this'll just get lost, but I want to thank you for existing on TH-cam. As an author who writes out of the realm of normal, I never thought to imagine a world where history played it differently than it really did until after highschool, eventually settling on my work taking place in a reality where the Soviet Bloc still exists. I have so many ideas to thank you for that, had I not have found you or your channel, would have likely never came to be.
I do hope this reaches you in good light and thank you, a thousand times over, again.
One of my favorite things I've realized is that virtually every single fan of alternate history can say, "Well it started because I got this book from an author called Harry Turtledove."
Except me. A cousin tried to get me into Turtledove. At first I was intrigued, and then he told me that WWII had aliens and I noped right out. I like Alternate history. I like science fiction. I don't want them together.
@@jakeaurod I completely forgot about that series. Lol. Yeah that's fair.
Depends upon the age of the person asked. For instance, Turtledove himself credits L Sprague de Camp in the introduction to The Enchanter Completed.
As a Fallout fan, your original Fallout timeline was one of my favorites when I was younger. Would love an updated one soon!!
Cody! Don't sell yourself short! Your content was, is, and always will be amazing!!!
Also, it is my firm belief that Cody's best video is "What if TH-cam Destroyed us all?" A video that I fully believe 201% deserves a sequel.
As someone that grew up loving your videos, I feel like I matured alongside them. Going back now and watching the old vids definitely puts it in a different light. But that simplicity and fantastical attitude the old vids had were what gave me the interest as a kid to fall in love with history. Im sure there are thousands of people just in my generation that feel the exact same way. Thank you for putting in the work for us Cody
18:10 this is the CRAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER FUCKING SEEN
Cody dude, I've been following you for 10 years too. I love your content. I sometimes rewatch all you videos and its been nothing short of entertaining, informative, and just AWESOME. Dude, you got me through college. Thank you
Didn't saw your first "season" till today, have to agree is hilarious, but enjoyable, as an alternate history fans I don't really need a fully realistic scenario, is better if I get to read/hear/see one, but in the end is entertainment, don't be hard on yourself this is a good channel with its own ups and downs.
The alternate history genre was a big part of what made me interested in learning about history. Now that I've learned more, some of those old stories seem goofy but I'm not mad that I read them.
This is probably a Mandela effect, but I always remember your voice as it is now.
I've found your content entertaining and mildly informative, and I hope you keep it going for some time to come.
No I remember the same
Im glad you kept going though, love you brother. Your stuff is fun! God Bless : )
Congratulations on your channels 10 year mark, I started watching your vids with the fallout episode and I've enjoyed them since, i'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention that crossover with extra credits but that's just me, anyway, I love the work you put into your vids your since of humor gives me a chuckle every time and it's great to cover history even while posting a interesting what if, please keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your work.
Hey amigo, you’ve grown as a creator and we have grown as people, literally. Many of us were children when we first began watching your content years ago. Your early videos existed so your new videos can today, and the old videos helped spark our imaginations and fuel our curiosities.
Much love.

Thank you Cody for being one the best channels out there. Interesting and always improving content
Based name
Been around since the Godzilla video. You've become incredible over the years. Keep it up
Oh my god. So I've been watching your channel and a French youtuber (Alterhis) as my two main sources of alt history content and today I decided to check both of your latest vids cause Christmas times meant I didn't have much time to just watch TH-cam on my own.
The top recommended video of his when I looked up his name was a 5 year old video on "what if Gengis Khan had never existed" and his latest video (maybe explaining the algorithm pushing the previous one) is "what if the Mongol Empire never fell" and it's got some impressive production value as he's started to develop in the last couple years.
And I queued this video of yours and your Hoover one and… wow. It's ironic how themes come together like that.
Similarly, one of your more "recent" ones (what if Vikings had never left America, November 2017) is also one of the early ones from the French youtuber (from August 2015). And the funnier part is that the intro is almost the same? Talking about how Vikings were explorers first and foremost 😅
Also, I know you'll never see this comment in a sea of almost 3000 more, but I wonder if you knew about the Years of Rice and Salt before making your black death in Europe video…
15:13 that had me howling 😂
Wow…I watched this channel since I was in 8th grade and now I’m senior history major in college. Never would have thought this channel would have influenced my life
I remember your PowerPoint presentations with music in the background, from far back in time ... and I am ever grateful that you put your music in the description.
If not for that I would not have discovered Thomas Bergersen, who to this day is my favourite modern composer.
What got me watching you was the fan country submissions. Hope you do another one of those one day.
Got introduced to Alternative History through your Red Dawn scenario, it's Fascinating that you
even made a Novel based around a scenario you never got around to talking about
That Fallout video was both what got me into the games, into history, and into your channel, and I'll always be grateful for that
The old content was good in its own ways, that's the beauty of TH-cam
I’ve been watching this channel for probably 6-7 years now. Some of those cringey old videos were the first ones I ever saw.
Now that I think about it… I just turned 21 a few weeks ago. A quick Google search would suggest (idk how accurate Wikitubia is) that Cody is 27.
I am as old now as Cody was when I first started watching his videos.
Time flies lol
I smiled the entire time watching this because I relate to this so freaking much.
My speech pattern drives me NUTS in my first videos from like 2011-2013. It’s like I was trying to be “too professional”
It’s a hard lesson on TH-cam to loosen the hell up and enjoy what you’re doing.

Respect, bud.
Keep up the great work.
Been with ya since the what if Rome never fell vids, love ya man and keep up the awesome work
Oh man. I have seen many TH-camrs rip apart other channels or videos in this style. But doing this with your own past self … that is high level. Respect!
Dude this is taking me back to being in middle school watching your videos in 2014, the nostalgia is combining with the cringe at unprecedented levels.
I’ve been watching your videos for months and had no idea you were from Toledo! So cool to see someone in my niche from my area succeeding on TH-cam
After watching you for at least 5 years, shits been real. Appreciate it. Hell I was in middle school watching you while I’m in college now.
You're a person who has learned and grown, and taken the time to criticality analyze exactly how you've grown and changed. I respect that so much, and can only hope to emulate that within my own ethos
I would love to see an updated video on if Godzilla/the Monsterverse were real, how the world would react to it. I always thought that topic was super interesting
THIS. Gimmie how society would change with the threat of Giant Monsters having their own wars please.
Agreed. Godzilla being real could go any number of ways thanks to the different continuities. Is he the only Kaiju running around, or do others show up? Would we be able to build weapons to fight them like Mecha Godzilla? Would Ultraman show up?!
I appreciate that you get past the "history is pretty colours on map go big/small" phase, really help me build another perspective in learning history
I’d like to just say that this video led me to realize that I’ve been subbed to you since near the first year. I’ve watched all them, including oldies, and I’ll do it again.
