Remember!?

I remember when YouTube used to be about the users and not the money. Anyone else remember?

The golden age of youtube. The good old days.

I definitely remember those days. The user interface wasn't as bad as it is now, monetization and partnership wasn't a big deal, videos weren't blocked by everything...man. I miss those days :/

I started using Youtube in the Summer of 2010, so I wouldn't know. Even so, I still think Youtube is the best video-sharing website. Its the only one with a large selection of worthwhile content.

Yes, it is the best option; it's too bad that there aren't many options. youtube used to support people who have less views on there videos to get seen. Now, youtube just bumps the videos of those who are already popular to the tops of the search lists.

You can consider yourself lucky for not having anything better to compare your youtube experience to.

Everyone should. It was best before the new youtube layout. They think it's easier, but really more complicated (a little bit, though). I wish we had the option to choose which layout we use.

True, very true. Although the moment youtube announced the partner program, it just changed. Also i joined in Oct. of 2008, so i didn't really see much of those changes. But you can search video on youtube about the older youtube (lol, inception) and see what is was like then.

I miss the old Youtube. but no going back now

YouTube is still very popular

It is. it's just gone down a pie hole
