The Artisan Age of YouTube

Also known as the pre-influencer age of YouTube.

An umbrella term for both the Golden age (2005-2009) and Silver age (2010-2013) of YouTube.

When the only drama on YouTube was either family based, (I.e. Onision) openly staged for the audience entertainment (The Angry Video Game Nerd Vs. The Nostalgia Critic) or limited to one type of site (The 2008/9 Boxxy civil war on 4chan)

The time when creativity ruled, when Jenna Marbles, Nigahiga, Ray William Johnson, James Rolfe, Jacksfilms, Freddie Wong and Co., Fred, Shane Dawson and several others were around.

One million views on a view was considered the pinnacle of internet success.

Memes were more fun and the people who created them were often made famous by accident and had the creativity to make characters based on those memes (Overly attached Girlfriend)

The period started at the inception of YouTube (or arguably a year after) and ended when Video Game High School (made by Rocketjump, Freddie Wong's production company) released its last episode in 2014.
James: remember YTP videos?

John: yet that was the artisan age of youtube. Real artists who made cool stuff for fun and their audiences. I miss those times

James: yeh dude, simpler times. All we have today are influencers giving money while having it recorded for clout. Zero creativity now.

tryna brainwash me to think im their friend
new age jibberish - you cant make out the words of their sentence and therefore derive no meaning about what they have said

they will say some words clear which is a delude of for and against
their behaviour language is also jibberish
i guess its because they groom very sick young women with layers of tortures

age trap

when someone's looks are a mislead to there real age. When someone definitely doesnt look there age. As in a lolita that looks 18, 21 but in reality shes 35, 40. Or guy who could pass for a boy when hes actually 28. In reverse some whom look 50 when theyre barely starting there 20s
lolitas in Thailand are such age trap girls.
