6:25 “I don’t know how anyone believed this shit.” My 13 year old self didn’t even question it, along with all the other kids who watched the 3:00 AM videos.
_Me at the Zoo_ wasn't *the* first video uploaded. Jawed had a lot of hidden clips set to private/unlisted. My first watch was Joe Penna (MysteryGuitarman) playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" via stop-motion. Came to me as an email which surely was a bot but I'm glad to have taken the leap. I casually went around TH-cam in late 2006 but didn't create *this* (my) channel until May 2007. I miss that era when we could actually express ourselves and rate a video 1-5 stars. Nobody was begging to like/share/subscribe/ring/join and follow on external sites. The only ad then came much later and came in the form of a swiss burger and was only 15-30 seconds long. Nothing was forced. No one was getting banned.
For some reason I used to watch people cleaning drains unclogging toilet and some washing machine stuff in ~2019-2020 I was genuinely finding that interesting to watch I don't know why.
I think the next Ersa would be the rise of New-Tubers. Basically next gen TH-camrs. The current or recent popular TH-camrs such as DanTDM, PewDiePie, MattPat have either fallen out, take a break from TH-cam or just retired so it gives spaces for newer, younger TH-camrs. Maybe older Gen Z who grew up with Millenial TH-camrs are going to take over TH-cam and likely reflect on the classic TH-camrs. e.g, Birder who was inspired by GradeA ect.
I wasn't alive when TH-cam was first around, but when I found out about it, I would watch old gaming videos and some videos from the beginning of TH-cam. Those videos seem a lot better since people just expressed who they were and didn't care about clout.
Me just making videos be like: yo guys welcome to a new video! most of the other youtubers now: YO WE GO SKABADI TAILET COME TO MY HAME *baby noices* LIKE WHAT IS THIS GENERATION?
I swear if the top comment is “TH-cam chain” I will lose it Yes I saw “eras of TH-cam chain” was the top comment but… We got second place🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

iv been a long time fan I love ur content keep going man ur a legend
When Wurdie uploads, you know its a good day.
Fun fact, TH-cam‘s first video also has the comment with the most likes
Yeah but surprisingly not the first comment
@@ItsAlcegood times has it
What’s the difference between wordy and birdie?
@@Zyummysammycolour
@@KingCobain2311and also wurdie is more short videos and burdie has long videos.
Honorable mention to the Elsagate era and the fact that we're still living in it right now w/ Elsagate 2.0: Pomnigate
Early 2010s (2010-2012) and the MLG phase (2015-2017) were the best years in my opinion on YT
I agree with u bro
Finished the video and shocked Elsagate wasn't mentioned, felt that had a big impact upon TH-cam also and could be considered an era
As I someone who had very limited Internet access as a kid these stories about old TH-cam are pretty interesting to hear.
This is very good look at TH-cam history
"When I was in the second grade in 2010"
*Me who was in 6th grade in 2010, thinking* lol what an absolute zoomer-
"I know, I'm a fossil"
*vine boom*
@Smogeeee bruh 😭 😭 😭
lol I didn’t even start school in 2010
i kinda miss the 3am vids ngl they were obviously staged but some of them were funny also those bath bomb vis or the orebeez vids
I miss them as well
Better than those Brainrot content farms
I remember when Jack was a small TH-cam channel I really thought he was gonna crash but somehow he managed to make it big and I can’t believe that lol
2:27 AND THEN FREDDY POPS OUT OF NOWHERE
Love you burdie keep it up gang❤
YT is still better than every social media even today
Sure ads are pain and shorts brainrot but still just ignore them🗿
The only good thing about yt is their videos
@@Totallynotmwayea no shi

@@Totallynotmwathats like saying the best part about a pen is that you can write with it
Man I miss the old TH-cam, everything was so simple back then

It was so entertaining video to enjoy.

It's always a good day when wurdle posts

Era of youtube chain

The kid who was crying and the mom was recording and saying to make a face , THE KID LOOKS LIKE GREG HEFFLEY

Wurdie your content is great keep up
You unlocked a memory with jynx brooo💀

7:37 that be fire do

6:58 Wurdie be roasting memes
You have to admit every era before the 2020s and after 2008 was a little toxic.
Can't believe next year is going to be TH-cams 20th anniversary 😮
ngl youtube was my favorite when I was too broke to afford the games so I had to watch other people play it
I don't think I knew TH-cam until I wasin first grade
4:53 The year I discovered youtube, but I only watched kid channels and maybe a year later I watched jacknjellify
Burdie is always right. Even when he's lying - IodineYT 2024
Wurdie post, LETSGO
