I feel like we would do a lot better to have direct video responses as a feature again. Nowadays it feels like everything has simply blended into an omniscient "discourse"
Man, I remember sending back a Sades brand headset to Newegg because when I listened to RU-vid videos like this with them, and they sounded tinny and had no bass. Newegg accepted my return based on early 2010 RU-vid quality audio complaints. Things were different back then.
This brings me back to 2012 when I was 9 and my friend showed me this on his pc. One of the many videos that I got shown that introduced me to the memes and popular yt videos of that time (it was obviously not my first time on youtube; but the first for the popular culture of that time)
I now understand every boomer who longs for Woodstock, every GenXer obsessed with 80s culture, every 40-something who idolizes the 90s. I finally get it.
Ah yes those golden days of RU-vid...no dark theme, annoying buffering,240p,less ads,star ratings ,just people sharing stuff & pure entertainment... so many good memories
