Where the hell did all that time go?
Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool’s “10,000 Days” album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.
Had a meeting with our sales guy, and he asked how long I’d been running the same engineering software since I knew it so well.
Me: about 27 years.
Him: that’s longer than I have been alive.
Oof
I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.
Ah Razor tool now makes sense in KDEnlive editor
Exactly. It’s an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it’s a shame because there’s something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.
If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you’d never know the reels looked like hot garbage.
Ah cool. I had a similar conversation about when art supplies were very costly, even a single she of watercolour paper or a tube of paint, so the artist had to conjure up something worthy and commit to it, rather than digital art where you can churn out a lot of mediocrity because it costs you nothing
Apr 19, 2006 for me.
I miss when the most watched video was Evolution of Dance.
Found it. wow, this video looks like shit. I remember it in ultra high def.
This definitely got worse over time. Which does happen when YouTube makes changes.
Ohhhhh what a classic. I remember huddling around my girlfriend’s (at the time) family computer watching that one god know how many times in a row. Also, hat one with David Blaine but it was this other kid pretending to be him doing impossible tricks.
killer bean and badger badger badger for the OGs
I wonder if you’ll still get prompted to prove you’re over 18.
You are. My account is also over 18 yo. But youtube have tried to ask for ID to watch “adult content” on youtube before.
There’s probably a better place to ask but I’m going to do it here because I’m remembering now… Anyone remember a kind of mock “how to” series but the person clearly doesn’t know what they are doing and eventually they had a video for “how to get back into your house if you get locked out” and they end up failing to get back in and eventually they had a follow up for “how to survive in the woods”. The series may have descended into madness after that point.
I assume it’s been long removed but finding that again would be really neat or at least someone who remembers it better than I did.

Oh my gosh this is it and it’s still there. Gracias.
Sounds like HowToBasic (or Basics?), from memory.
If it was HowToBasic, there would have been eggs getting smashed.
I remember those, it was a subverted ‘How to’ channel. Maybe hacks in the name?
Not the channel you where talking about, but if you like fake tutorials. Then this one has some funny ones. https://www.youtube.com/@infinitesolutions
Calm down young man, 2006 is not old.
Yeah, 2006 was only like a few years ago.
Can we take a moment to recognize Good Guy™ Rick Astley for never copyright-striking his Never Gonna Give You Up videos. He is a real hero.
Where the hell did all that time go?
I dunno fam, I went to sleep in the mid 1990s and now I’m 40 and have a car and a mortgage and how the fuck did all this happen
I am around that age and don’t have either of those. and wtf happened in the last 5 yrs?
Well, 2015 was a writeoff, 2016 was the year I got my mortgage, 2017 I started my new job, 2018 same shit different year, and 2019 was just a blur. So far 2020 has been pretty shit. I can’t wait for 2021, if it ever comes.
Young whippersnapper!
Says the young whippersnapper.
People born when you’ve created your YouTube account are now adults. Some are planning to have children.
Think about that.
So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.
19 is not an adult, even if technically they are in the legal sense, thats still firmly in the kid territory. To think some are planning for kids at that age just shows how immature they are.
19 year old are not children. Maybe a transitional state, but for closer to being an adult than a “kid”.
Reminisce with me about the pre google glory days. In the long long ago. Salad Fingers, that Joey Jordison drum solo video, Badger Badger Badger…

Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear!
It’s true!

So true! Once it’s in your fears will disappear!
This is what I got from memory. Haven’t seen the video in about a decade.
A coworker of mine was born in 2006. I never knew hiring toddlers was legal…
My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that’s entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It’s so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.
I’ll drop a knee-breaking one:
I was born in 2006.
Impossible.
Bro is 19. He can vote.
