@@naterim5029 I guessed you gonna bring up Sci craft and hermitcraft guys but look what's the difference: Redstone on hermitcraft is really not that crazy only a few people have a decent skill level and etho is first on that list. In Sci craft is something I dont need to say much as its something really different. Thats server's whole purpose is to be efficient at every redstone project and to challenge the limits of the game at survival.

Etho, the Yogscast, and Captainsparklez are the youtubers I've been consistently watching for almost a decade at this point. Amazing content and amazing people.
I've been watching Etho for almost 10 years now. He has been a huge part of my childhood and I'll never forget him. I think the best thing about Etho is the fact he hasn't hardly changed one bit. His style of making videos and uploads are just simple and is just right. He never asks for likes and/or subs either. He deserves so much more and is still my favourite TH-camr to this day
I think you missed someone really important- GenerikB. He founded Hermitcraft and played on it for its first season. however, he got bored of it and decided to not participate in the second season. Later, when it grew more popular, he tried to return but the hermits decided they didn't want him back. he was also a member of Mindcrack
While I usually watched the other members of the servers he was on, he always did have interesting projects going on that kept the game interesting. Not only was he a part of mindcrack and participated in some of the earlier FTB servers, but I loved watching what people did on his attack of the B team server. Definitely agree he gets overlooked
The reason he wasn't allowed back is because the hermits said that they needed people who could make big builds and redstone and release videos regularly (X said this I believe). Generik also said there was no hate b/w him and he hermits.
The great thing about youtubers like Etho is that they didn't care about the 'floating' subscribers, but focused just on their core base and, perhaps more importantly, just did what they liked to do.
Yogscast are still some of the only TH-camrs I actively watch. I watched their stuff back in the WoW days, listened to their OG podcast around it's beginning, and still watch all their new content and podcast. They just have such a unique style of humour that you can't get anywhere else
The Yogscast is the reason I started playing Minecraft. I loved Lewis and Simon's sense of humor, and even binged the Yogpod (their podcast.) Shadow of Israphel was a little misleading for me, though. I thought the series was using a mod, and I tried SO HARD to find it.
I don't know when or why I started. All I know is the fact that I have been playing Minecraft for about 10 years. (I think that it was the yogscast that got me to start playing Minecraft a lot though)
Been a minute since I’ve watched Etho... he is in my eyes my favourite TH-camr of all time, I hope to see him grow even more, brings a tear to my eye when I watch his old videos for nostalgia
Nice video, this reminded me of some of the youtubers I used to watch. The only one I still watch regularly is Etho, who I’ve watched since 2013, and will continue to watch till he stops uploading. I loved that his style never changed and that he stayed true to himself.
I feel like etho, above all else, represents minecraft really well. He's been around for so long, and has had an influence on not just redstone, but building and survival and his stuff is also just entertaining (Episode 404 of the survival lets play comes to mind as a highlight). Hes also one of the few minecrafters I know of that can build a base INTERIOR FIRST, and have it look amazing. Like seriously, who doeas that?! Etho, thats who does that.
A video on old redstone TH-camrs could be interesting. Like cnb, cubehamster, fvdisco, sethbling, code crafted, jl2579 etc etc. A history of redstone on yt Ig
CraftyMasterman Sethbling brings so much nostalgia. I learned redstone from his series teaching Grimm redstone. All the others also bring nostalgia. Also include Mumbo!
i used to watch docm make video with jl, panda and other zipcrowd crew (i remember those 2 because of piston skin). and my mind blown when panda make ender dragon exp farm
Could you make a video about MCC? I feel it's really risen in popularity. You've got Grian, you've got Dream, you've got Techno, you don't have money-minded hosts and sponsors, I think it would be a really fun video.
So glad you talked about Etho! I started watching him 8 years ago and he still remains my favorite youtuber (you're in the top 5 don't worry :D) Edit: Awww your comments are making my day, great to see so many other people that love Etho!
Same man, I started watching in late 2012 / early 2013, before I even played the game. First minecraft youtuber I ever watched, and he's pretty much the only one I watch regularly today. He's a fucking legend in the community, and I'm glad that Hermitcraft gave his channel the attention it deserves.
@@clothieredward5248 Well, what he does is timeless. He doesn't latch onto trends or do anything just for views, he just does what he likes. I love him for that. Couldn't care any less about a face reveal or anything like that. Just like to watch his shit haha
I started playing Minecraft just before 1.14 update, and I started watching Etho not so long ago, when Grian reviewed his base in Hermitcraft, and I was shocked by it. I wondered how he was so good, but looking at how long he's been playing Minecraft, it makes sense.
I know a lot are commenting about Etho. I just cant help but add to it. Etho is a childhood superstar of mine. I was never into the loud and obnoxious youtubers that played mini games. I only watched Etho. At 22 years old now and I still watch every single one of his uploads. My favorite series he has ever done, was his Project Ozone 2 series. He is such an amazing person and I can not say enough good things about him.
It's fascinating to me now how long-term survival playthroughs have now become the thing people like to watch. The exact thing that was not what we were all watching a few years back Someone asked Lewis about how he felt about the decline of The Yogscast, and he said something along the lines of "We had out time in the sun, and I'm just glad we all enjoyed it" Another minecraft youtuber that might be worth looking into is Direwolf20. I watched him before I even made this youtube account (I had his channel bookmarked on the homepage of my iPod Touch 4 and I'd click it everyday) and he's had a son in that time who's a few years old now. He's only showed his face maybe 3 times, and has pretty much never stopped making modded minecraft SMP videos. Also bascially every single video (barring DireNews and other random ones) are between 30 & 40 minutes
when etho said ''i'm really only doing this for fun and for you guys, i don't really care about the stats'' it made me have faith that etho wont be like those other youtubers who downgrade or just stop posting, etho is my comfort youtuber, and the reason that i play minecraft, and luckily for us ever since he came back to hermitcraft he's gotten many views even though, like he said, he doesnt care about the stats
Love all the effort you've been putting into all of these videos on the OG minecraft youtubers as well as the history of the game in general. These people and the game in general really made an impact on a lot of viewers in my opinion and it's nice to watch these videos every now and again that talks about the people that a lot of us would have otherwise forgotten
I wonder if dream, george, tommyinnit or others in the current mcyt community will be like the people in this video, if they'll ever hold the same nostalgia for younger kids.
oh without a doubt. lots of people who grew up in the late 2000s have nostalgia for content creators from that time too, its just something thats inevitable if someone really enjoys the content
Etho is one of those people you could call the old guard but he was one of the few that stuck it out in vanilla minecraft sure he had others including modded minecraft but he was one the few that still kept a vanilla series going during those rough years.
The Yogscast is the one content creator I've watched daily for over a decade now. It's that one constant in my life and a comfort to still have them there. Like a close friend who'll always be there to make me smile
Something I find fascinating about this is it shows even within the world of 'minecraft on youtube', there are various silos with little overlap. I've been watching youtube minecraft videos from back before the nether update, and have only heard of a couple of these people.
Etho was there in the beginning, he had his time in the light, and then when the resurgence happened he was there to nurture the new stars. He might just be the greatest of all time
Man, every time I see a video talking about old minecraft youtubers and etho gets mentioned, I get blasted with nostalgia Ever since I started watching him like a decade ago now he's always stayed true to himself, he's always been the same genuinely kind guy who just wants to make cool videos about a game he likes, never doing it for the fame or money It's gonna be a sad day when he's finished with youtube
I’ve been an Etho fan for awhile. And when Etho joined hermit craft season 7 and there were so many different TH-camrs on their I decided to check out what happened to some of the others guys that were on the mindcrack server and some that were in previous versions of hermitcraft. So many odd t make it, it kinda makes me sad.
@@Wmann God yes, I fucking loved fortnite until ninja and tfue made the game so sweaty. I mean I play creative lobbies with friends but never real games
Ever since i found Etho literal YEARS ago i have been saying forever he is the best MC youtuber out there and hes probably my favorite youtuber period.
Etho's regular view count has *always* (since like, 2012) been in the hundreds of thousands though. I don't think there was a single episode of his main let's play to get less than 300k views within a week of uploading. It's just that he uploaded less at one point, and also the hermitcraft series is his most watched series of all time. Although I'm just going by memory, so I could be wrong.
I think when you are over 21 years old and still are/and/or become a fan of Etho, it's stuck forever. Because he has a very honest style of presenting videos and good humor to accompany them. So whatever he does, it's almost like listening to a podcast. ps: Not that you can't be a fan of Etho if you are younger than 21, I'm saying cause there is college/job life, etc for most the 21-year-old ppl (there are more reasons to not follow his videos)
Definitely agreed. I started watching Etho in Season 7 and he's a really fun person to watch. Whatever he does is really enjoyable. He could make a video chopping wood for 2 hours and I'd watch it
One older Minecraft TH-camr I remember was "TheMinecraftMuse". He did some minecraft tutorials earlier on, before moving to lets plays (including one of his most popular series, Muse Farms) and even ran a survival server for a while that I remember playing on for a bit. Got into his stuff through my cousins, and quite enjoyed it. He eventually moved onto a second channel, called Spumwack, where he did other stuff (including at least some Minecraft stuff, including a second season of Muse Farms), eventually moving to Fortnight (IIRC) and later reaction/comedy videos (it appears) before apparently just abandoning his Spumwack channel as well. Dunno if he's still around anywhere at all.
I honestly hope you make a video on the Shadow of Israphel series alone. You've always pumped out consistently good content and I'd totally watch you cover something that has a story line
I’ve been watching etho since late 2011. Love the guy. He’s the only minecrafter I really have left on my subscribers. I watch every episode cause I dunno he’s engaging and I’ve always liked his content
ItsJerryandHarry and JerryVsHarry have so much potential because of their unique humour and their broad skills. Unfortunately, I also got disappointed because they decreased the effort they put into the videos. While JerryVsHarry has been uploading constantly, they no longer put out all the previous series they did and just made Build Battle videos with clickbait. The worse part is that they are stuck in 1.8 and seem uninterested in the newer versions. I with a couple of viewers pressed them into trying out 1.16. They did do a 1.16 speedrun but that's it. They went back to Build Battle after that. I understand that they focus on TH-cam video quantity to keep their server running but I am still hoping they do something new. I may give up on them anytime soon.
The yogscast never really slowed down, they used their success to shift business, they now run a fairly substantial MCN with 37 members. They aren't the most popular anymore but thats good, they have the very lucky position of "cozy", they don't have to worry about being the most relevant or powerful so less stress and more fun.
@Zevo7 I think that they will, but it will be in a different way. in fact I think that will actually cause more nostalgia as they are more like mega fans
These are making me realize how many youtubers I've been missing. And even know I can't find them. GimmeDiamonds was a group I loved growing up with. But even know I can't find them. Another I sadly can't remember their name. They had a Vincent Valentine skin, they used to help animate MC shorts and such. Enjoyed cookies. I remember so many laughs from their content. And wish I could find them again.
You should have covered Cubehamster, the guy is basically the father of slimestone, he really gave it a boost and got a lot of people including myself interested in his various flying machines from missiles to bots. He started to die off at the end of 1.9 when the first SBRT failed(most of the battles happened but the final didn't), he still uploaded but he slowed down and within the year hs channel died, now he rarely uploads and it's even more rarely minecraft. I miss the guy, always a nostalgia trip when I watch his Slimestone playlist
It’s sad to see some of the most nostalgic youtubers fall off the platform but such is the circle of life. Old channels die to make room for new fresh life
A few others that haven't been covered yet are YouAlwaysWin (probably best known for SurvivorCraft a game show style series based off of the TV series Survivor, Skyblock style maps, mods, etc.) MeatWagon22 whose half the duo of YAW (when it comes to Minecraft Meatycraft probably stands out) TheOnlyBentley a friend of the former 2 I mentioned and like the former was once part of NextGenTactics (probably best known for MageLife and ModLife and being really chill) those 3 used to be my favorites because before Minecraft they were part of a Call of Duty channel called NGTZombies and would play custom made Zombies levels, and after they had a falling out and switched to Minecraft I watched their stuff until around 2015 or 16 then stopped because everyone stopped Minecraft around then, I looked last year and all 3 still uploaded but I'm not sure how they're doing. Lastly how about GameChap and Bertie? The dynamic duo with funny over exaggerated fake British accents?
Yogscast was the real deal back in the early days of minecraft. Heck, I could still remember their lets plays and song parodies and usually come back to check on them. You can really see that a single change of trend can be a huge impact on youtubers within the early trend, causing their downfall, but some continue to stand strong regardless if they lose subscribers or views, some even rise back up and continue to increase. To them, it’s all about the fun of making content, appreciating the loyalty your followers have on you.
The Yogscast was my childhood. I remember watching Shadow like it was the coolest thing ever. I didn't have the game so watching other people play just made me upset but with how they set up Shadow with the story and plot I was able to watch without being jealous. Then I finally did get a laptop and Minecraft but they had started Jaffa Factory, my laptop was a potato so I couldn't play Modpacks myself. I don't think in my life I have been as entertained as I was when I was watching Shadow and Jaffa Factory.
I know this is an older video but, I'm so glad Etho was put in at the end. I feel as a mainly Minecraft LPer, Etho seems to be overlooked way to much. He has stayed hunble and true to himself and hasn't shied away from what made him, well, him. His content aside from quality upgrades has stayed the same. He didn't go over the top like some. Didnt try the good ol lets clickbait people. He stayed genuine. That's why hes still my most favorite Minecraft TH-camr to this very day.
I’m glad to see that my Favorite Magical Hoser is still making Let’s Play videos over a decade later Edit: I’ve never referred to Etho as a “Magical Hoser” but one of my friends did the other week and I thought it was funny
Before some of you say TH-cam would be broken because there are more likes than views, that's normal, there are Cache Servers that temporarily save the views and then your pc becomes the info from a temp server and the temp server updates this count about every 2 minutes
Talking about old mine tubers Y'all remember a survival island let's play? It started with a plane crashing, had two guys, they built a big boat, then TNT cannon'd it? And also a survival let's play, I think the dude made a multi-story house, hoe'd dirt before planting trees, built a waterfall, and I'm pretty sure he made the map into a treasure hunt.
Etho said at the end of one of his world tours. "My subscriber count hasn't really changed for several years, but the age of my viewers are much older. It's as if my audience is growing up with the channel." Paraphrased off memory. It's bittersweet. Some people grow big fast and fall faster. Etho grew fast, but with his content, he had no chance to fall- only to stop growing. Maybe for the better.
did you ever look at GameChap and Bertie? a comedic British duo that explored mods and maps like crazy for a long time and even had 2 stories that were their most popular but never ever got a conclusion ever, those being Survival Island and Quest For The Golden Monocle, they stopped Minecraft stuff at some point, possibly Minecraft's downfall days, and they now focus on Mario and Smash Bros, I think they made a second channel to play Minecraft but that didn't really do much
I’m curious....why have you not covered paulsoaresjr yet? He was arguably one of the biggest TH-camrs in the 2010-2013 era of the game, and was featured on the official Minecraft page for quite some time.
I somewhat recently ran into iBallisticSquid in a very unusual place, he ended up being a colab partner for ScrapMan, kAN Gaming, Moonbo and Kosmonaut for Scrap Mechanic, he made several appearances in their Multiplayer Monday series. It was strange seeing him surface again in the stuff that I watch now.
Squid used to be the shit back in day. his sky island series, skyrim letsplay, the quest to series, and all the hypixel and modded he played with amy lee and ash dubh the cheese man were some of my favourite videos ever. He even did a semi scripted galacticraft series similar to the yogs.

CraftyMasterman Sethbling brings so much nostalgia. I learned redstone from his series teaching Grimm redstone. All the others also bring nostalgia. Also include Mumbo!
i used to watch docm make video with jl, panda and other zipcrowd crew (i remember those 2 because of piston skin). and my mind blown when panda make ender dragon exp farm
Does anyone REMEBER that one mincraft TH-camr who faked an iron golem taking him to a new world with a house built for him. What was his name HELP
@@vibaj16 Mumbo is still making regular videos
I remember watching Iballisticsquid and stampy all the time as if it were yesterday. Man these videos bring so much memories back
Same
I still watch them all the time lol.
Ur 13 now awww what a big guy eh?
@@ximrade4287 how are you local crackhead?
Me too bro, remember attack of the b-team? Or the coop feed the beast series he did with stamps?
Could you make a video about MCC? I feel it's really risen in popularity. You've got Grian, you've got Dream, you've got Techno, you don't have money-minded hosts and sponsors, I think it would be a really fun video.
Ethos reminds me of Sweden's biggest gaming TH-camr (Stamsite). An early minecraft player with a loyal fanbase.
So glad you talked about Etho! I started watching him 8 years ago and he still remains my favorite youtuber (you're in the top 5 don't worry :D)
Edit: Awww your comments are making my day, great to see so many other people that love Etho!
Hahahaha ty
Same man, I started watching in late 2012 / early 2013, before I even played the game. First minecraft youtuber I ever watched, and he's pretty much the only one I watch regularly today. He's a fucking legend in the community, and I'm glad that Hermitcraft gave his channel the attention it deserves.
It's impressive how Etho still has a lot of relevance even to this day.
@@clothieredward5248 Well, what he does is timeless. He doesn't latch onto trends or do anything just for views, he just does what he likes. I love him for that. Couldn't care any less about a face reveal or anything like that. Just like to watch his shit haha
I started playing Minecraft just before 1.14 update, and I started watching Etho not so long ago, when Grian reviewed his base in Hermitcraft, and I was shocked by it.
I wondered how he was so good, but looking at how long he's been playing Minecraft, it makes sense.
I know a lot are commenting about Etho. I just cant help but add to it. Etho is a childhood superstar of mine. I was never into the loud and obnoxious youtubers that played mini games. I only watched Etho. At 22 years old now and I still watch every single one of his uploads. My favorite series he has ever done, was his Project Ozone 2 series. He is such an amazing person and I can not say enough good things about him.
It's fascinating to me now how long-term survival playthroughs have now become the thing people like to watch. The exact thing that was not what we were all watching a few years back
Someone asked Lewis about how he felt about the decline of The Yogscast, and he said something along the lines of "We had out time in the sun, and I'm just glad we all enjoyed it"
Another minecraft youtuber that might be worth looking into is Direwolf20. I watched him before I even made this youtube account (I had his channel bookmarked on the homepage of my iPod Touch 4 and I'd click it everyday) and he's had a son in that time who's a few years old now. He's only showed his face maybe 3 times, and has pretty much never stopped making modded minecraft SMP videos. Also bascially every single video (barring DireNews and other random ones) are between 30 & 40 minutes
Etho’s gotten me through a lot of stuff, and I’ve been with him since the start. Aint ever gonna drop him.
Omg I forgot its Jerry and Harry existed
honestly I'm glad I forgot I liked them lol
Lol I randomly thought about them like last week
I literally can't forget them. They made up such a large part of my early teens
Holy crap same
Holy shitttttt
when etho said ''i'm really only doing this for fun and for you guys, i don't really care about the stats'' it made me have faith that etho wont be like those other youtubers who downgrade or just stop posting, etho is my comfort youtuber, and the reason that i play minecraft, and luckily for us ever since he came back to hermitcraft he's gotten many views even though, like he said, he doesnt care about the stats
Love all the effort you've been putting into all of these videos on the OG minecraft youtubers as well as the history of the game in general. These people and the game in general really made an impact on a lot of viewers in my opinion and it's nice to watch these videos every now and again that talks about the people that a lot of us would have otherwise forgotten
Glad you enjoy :)
I wonder if dream, george, tommyinnit or others in the current mcyt community will be like the people in this video, if they'll ever hold the same nostalgia for younger kids.
I miss shitass already...
Yeah I think they will, theyre such a staple of the 2020-2021 minecraft community that I think they will be remembered for a long time.
Yes they will, It would be like Stampy, DanTDM, And Popularmmos.
oh without a doubt. lots of people who grew up in the late 2000s have nostalgia for content creators from that time too, its just something thats inevitable if someone really enjoys the content
Dream is overrated he only got popular cuz of pewdiepie.
Etho and Technoblade have one thing in common: They'll _NEVER DIE_
Etho is one of those people you could call the old guard but he was one of the few that stuck it out in vanilla minecraft sure he had others including modded minecraft but he was one the few that still kept a vanilla series going during those rough years.
The Yogscast is the one content creator I've watched daily for over a decade now. It's that one constant in my life and a comfort to still have them there. Like a close friend who'll always be there to make me smile
Ethoslab still going strong
Up to this day, I am still waiting for the Part 43 of Shadow of Israphel..
Something I find fascinating about this is it shows even within the world of 'minecraft on youtube', there are various silos with little overlap. I've been watching youtube minecraft videos from back before the nether update, and have only heard of a couple of these people.
Etho was there in the beginning, he had his time in the light, and then when the resurgence happened he was there to nurture the new stars. He might just be the greatest of all time
Man, every time I see a video talking about old minecraft youtubers and etho gets mentioned, I get blasted with nostalgia
Ever since I started watching him like a decade ago now he's always stayed true to himself, he's always been the same genuinely kind guy who just wants to make cool videos about a game he likes, never doing it for the fame or money
It's gonna be a sad day when he's finished with youtube
6:15 - "this was quite literally groundbreaking at the time" ... Well, it *is* Minecraft.
Hahaha
I’ve been an Etho fan for awhile. And when Etho joined hermit craft season 7 and there were so many different TH-camrs on their I decided to check out what happened to some of the others guys that were on the mindcrack server and some that were in previous versions of hermitcraft. So many odd t make it, it kinda makes me sad.
Remember when fortnite took #1 and then uts community became so tox everyone came back to minecraft lol
I miss that peroid a little
@@Wmann God yes, I fucking loved fortnite until ninja and tfue made the game so sweaty. I mean I play creative lobbies with friends but never real games
@@landslide6019 yeah, and when rose back it's fan base became even more toxic. The game's fan base is trash now.
Yep and at that time I still playing Minecraft and some people told me Minecraft sucks and fortnite good in Comments
I hate forknight i hate the fact that i played that game
I'm guessing u never heard of "yaw"(youalwayswin" those guys were my childhood
I remember watching them for their skyblock and survival map series, I wonder how they're doing these days?
Ever since i found Etho literal YEARS ago i have been saying forever he is the best MC youtuber out there and hes probably my favorite youtuber period.
Etho's regular view count has *always* (since like, 2012) been in the hundreds of thousands though. I don't think there was a single episode of his main let's play to get less than 300k views within a week of uploading. It's just that he uploaded less at one point, and also the hermitcraft series is his most watched series of all time. Although I'm just going by memory, so I could be wrong.
I think when you are over 21 years old and still are/and/or become a fan of Etho, it's stuck forever. Because he has a very honest style of presenting videos and good humor to accompany them. So whatever he does, it's almost like listening to a podcast.
ps: Not that you can't be a fan of Etho if you are younger than 21, I'm saying cause there is college/job life, etc for most the 21-year-old ppl (there are more reasons to not follow his videos)
Definitely agreed. I started watching Etho in Season 7 and he's a really fun person to watch. Whatever he does is really enjoyable. He could make a video chopping wood for 2 hours and I'd watch it
One older Minecraft TH-camr I remember was "TheMinecraftMuse". He did some minecraft tutorials earlier on, before moving to lets plays (including one of his most popular series, Muse Farms) and even ran a survival server for a while that I remember playing on for a bit. Got into his stuff through my cousins, and quite enjoyed it. He eventually moved onto a second channel, called Spumwack, where he did other stuff (including at least some Minecraft stuff, including a second season of Muse Farms), eventually moving to Fortnight (IIRC) and later reaction/comedy videos (it appears) before apparently just abandoning his Spumwack channel as well. Dunno if he's still around anywhere at all.
Etho in the thumbnail like he hasn't been consistently uploading and growing for pretty much his entire youtube career
I still watch Etho. 21 y/o now and I've watched almost every video he's made for over 10 years and I honestly don't plan to stop.
Man. Too much nostalgia. Brain overloading. Tears flooding.
*Diamond.exe has stopped working*
:(
What about Diamond.apk?
Did you even get what I mean?
I honestly hope you make a video on the Shadow of Israphel series alone. You've always pumped out consistently good content and I'd totally watch you cover something that has a story line
maybe in the future
when you realize that soon, technoblade, grian, mumbo jumbo, dream, tommyinnit, tubbo & others will have a video like this in the future
Yes your right a few of them that I watch actually like Grian
Noooo!!!! Please don't remind me of that bitter truth! 😭😭
I’ve been watching etho since late 2011. Love the guy. He’s the only minecrafter I really have left on my subscribers. I watch every episode cause I dunno he’s engaging and I’ve always liked his content
ItsJerryandHarry and JerryVsHarry have so much potential because of their unique humour and their broad skills. Unfortunately, I also got disappointed because they decreased the effort they put into the videos. While JerryVsHarry has been uploading constantly, they no longer put out all the previous series they did and just made Build Battle videos with clickbait. The worse part is that they are stuck in 1.8 and seem uninterested in the newer versions. I with a couple of viewers pressed them into trying out 1.16. They did do a 1.16 speedrun but that's it. They went back to Build Battle after that. I understand that they focus on TH-cam video quantity to keep their server running but I am still hoping they do something new. I may give up on them anytime soon.
It is unfortunate, they had such great chemistry together
The yogscast never really slowed down, they used their success to shift business, they now run a fairly substantial MCN with 37 members.
They aren't the most popular anymore but thats good, they have the very lucky position of "cozy", they don't have to worry about being the most relevant or powerful so less stress and more fun.
I hope this new gen mc youtubers will have the same impact on the younger mc playerbase, leaving another path of mc nostalgia
Same, crazy to think we are in an era that will one day be a source of extreme nostalgia for millions of young fans around the community
Well said
@Zevo7 true
i have though maybe i should make a video about xbox 360 title update 9 nostalgia since i still have this version, one day maybe ill do
@Zevo7 I think that they will, but it will be in a different way. in fact I think that will actually cause more nostalgia as they are more like mega fans
These are making me realize how many youtubers I've been missing. And even know I can't find them.
GimmeDiamonds was a group I loved growing up with. But even know I can't find them.
Another I sadly can't remember their name. They had a Vincent Valentine skin, they used to help animate MC shorts and such. Enjoyed cookies. I remember so many laughs from their content. And wish I could find them again.
You should do “what happened to team crafted ?”
Does anyone REMEBER that one mincraft TH-camr who faked an iron golem taking him to a new world with a house built for him. What was his name HELP
You should have covered Cubehamster, the guy is basically the father of slimestone, he really gave it a boost and got a lot of people including myself interested in his various flying machines from missiles to bots. He started to die off at the end of 1.9 when the first SBRT failed(most of the battles happened but the final didn't), he still uploaded but he slowed down and within the year hs channel died, now he rarely uploads and it's even more rarely minecraft. I miss the guy, always a nostalgia trip when I watch his Slimestone playlist
Etho is such a legend, you should go check out his channel, his most recent world tour is a good place to start.
yogscast were my inspiration for gaming and im glad theyre still uploading.
itsjerryandharry’s server had a parkour mode we speedrunners loved and it was hard to watch it decline over the years :(
:(

It’s sad to see some of the most nostalgic youtubers fall off the platform but such is the circle of life. Old channels die to make room for new fresh life
A few others that haven't been covered yet are YouAlwaysWin (probably best known for SurvivorCraft a game show style series based off of the TV series Survivor, Skyblock style maps, mods, etc.) MeatWagon22 whose half the duo of YAW (when it comes to Minecraft Meatycraft probably stands out) TheOnlyBentley a friend of the former 2 I mentioned and like the former was once part of NextGenTactics (probably best known for MageLife and ModLife and being really chill)
those 3 used to be my favorites because before Minecraft they were part of a Call of Duty channel called NGTZombies and would play custom made Zombies levels, and after they had a falling out and switched to Minecraft I watched their stuff until around 2015 or 16 then stopped because everyone stopped Minecraft around then, I looked last year and all 3 still uploaded but I'm not sure how they're doing.
Lastly how about GameChap and Bertie? The dynamic duo with funny over exaggerated fake British accents?
Thanks for the info
Yogscast was the real deal back in the early days of minecraft. Heck, I could still remember their lets plays and song parodies and usually come back to check on them.
You can really see that a single change of trend can be a huge impact on youtubers within the early trend, causing their downfall, but some continue to stand strong regardless if they lose subscribers or views, some even rise back up and continue to increase. To them, it’s all about the fun of making content, appreciating the loyalty your followers have on you.
I remember always watching danTDM's mod review on the family computer(which was still in windows xp) and I always watched popularMMos. remember bomby.

OMG SAME i remember before that monster school and stampy it is so sad that the magic wore off
Only true og's remember our boys Setosorcerer and AKspartankiller
Seto's been back for a while, btw
I’m here before kids start blessing my whole family 😂
Lmao
Same lmao
i bless your whole family
The 5 hours ago ruined it

The Yogscast was my childhood. I remember watching Shadow like it was the coolest thing ever. I didn't have the game so watching other people play just made me upset but with how they set up Shadow with the story and plot I was able to watch without being jealous. Then I finally did get a laptop and Minecraft but they had started Jaffa Factory, my laptop was a potato so I couldn't play Modpacks myself.
I don't think in my life I have been as entertained as I was when I was watching Shadow and Jaffa Factory.
Tbh, I'd Like to See AviatorGaming On here, Ever since he disappeared last year, just a small callback would bring the nostalgia
I honestly would like to see the propper dummies together again
I wanna see a video on the whole squad like moose,unspeakable,shark,Megan,
Bert and everyone.
He actually made a comunity post a few months ago
I know this is an older video but, I'm so glad Etho was put in at the end. I feel as a mainly Minecraft LPer, Etho seems to be overlooked way to much. He has stayed hunble and true to himself and hasn't shied away from what made him, well, him. His content aside from quality upgrades has stayed the same. He didn't go over the top like some. Didnt try the good ol lets clickbait people. He stayed genuine. That's why hes still my most favorite Minecraft TH-camr to this very day.
I’m glad to see that my Favorite Magical Hoser is still making Let’s Play videos over a decade later
Edit: I’ve never referred to Etho as a “Magical Hoser” but one of my friends did the other week and I thought it was funny
Anyone else remember watching Etho's old Mindcrack FTB stuff with the floating islands and honeycomb labs and stuff like that?
Before some of you say TH-cam would be broken because there are more likes than views, that's normal, there are Cache Servers that temporarily save the views and then your pc becomes the info from a temp server and the temp server updates this count about every 2 minutes
Talking about old mine tubers
Y'all remember a survival island let's play? It started with a plane crashing, had two guys, they built a big boat, then TNT cannon'd it?
And also a survival let's play, I think the dude made a multi-story house, hoe'd dirt before planting trees, built a waterfall, and I'm pretty sure he made the map into a treasure hunt.
These videos are so pog
true
True
true
true
6:32 those textures bring me back, wow.
Morale of the story: dont do clickbait
And don't milk the crap out of things.
No one's ever gotten subs doing new things either, so shut up
Etho said at the end of one of his world tours. "My subscriber count hasn't really changed for several years, but the age of my viewers are much older. It's as if my audience is growing up with the channel." Paraphrased off memory. It's bittersweet. Some people grow big fast and fall faster. Etho grew fast, but with his content, he had no chance to fall- only to stop growing. Maybe for the better.
Can you do a video on Zisteau? I wanna know what happened and why he fell away from Minecraft and to other games
Definitely would be interesting to see him. Hopefully it won't be another 3 year gap between his last LP upload and the next one.
Agreed
Now thats a name I haven't heard of in over 6 years, used to like his style on Mindcrack
Etho is the only MC TH-camr I still watch out of enjoyment, since 2012 or something
they're not dead
We just grew up
-someone on the internet
Cool fact about Etho is that though he might not be the biggest channel he's inspired a lot of people to make content most notably Mr Beast.
This video has reminded me to rewatch grians evo smp
Never watched none of these channel or the one in the video prior. But i watch you and i find this very interesting videos, Well done haha
I still watch all of the Yogscasts content to this day
did you ever look at GameChap and Bertie? a comedic British duo that explored mods and maps like crazy for a long time and even had 2 stories that were their most popular but never ever got a conclusion ever, those being Survival Island and Quest For The Golden Monocle, they stopped Minecraft stuff at some point, possibly Minecraft's downfall days, and they now focus on Mario and Smash Bros, I think they made a second channel to play Minecraft but that didn't really do much
You should check out Gizzi Gazza for this series.
i saw Gizzy Gazza on a Minecraft Championship a few months ago and the nostalgia hit me hard
Your channel has really taken off! I remember watching you as a smaller TH-camr and thinking you had potential! Been here since ~30k subs
:)
I’m curious....why have you not covered paulsoaresjr yet? He was arguably one of the biggest TH-camrs in the 2010-2013 era of the game, and was featured on the official Minecraft page for quite some time.
You can’t have a proper history of Minecraft TH-cam without paul
I somewhat recently ran into iBallisticSquid in a very unusual place, he ended up being a colab partner for ScrapMan, kAN Gaming, Moonbo and Kosmonaut for Scrap Mechanic, he made several appearances in their Multiplayer Monday series. It was strange seeing him surface again in the stuff that I watch now.
Remember when cookies where youtubers fav food?
beckbrojack instensefies
Give me butter, or give me death.
Squid used to be the shit back in day. his sky island series, skyrim letsplay, the quest to series, and all the hypixel and modded he played with amy lee and ash dubh the cheese man were some of my favourite videos ever. He even did a semi scripted galacticraft series similar to the yogs.
