Artisan Age of YouTube

Also known as the "Pre-influencer era of youtube"

The umbrella term for the golden age (2005-2009) and silver age (2010-2013) of the platform. The peak of creativity and coolness in videos. Including, but not limited to: AVGN, RWJ, Jenna Marbles, NigaHiga , TGWTG, Game Over by Poykpac, Jacksfilms, Pewdiepie, Epic Meal time, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Boxxy, Bobby Burns, Dan and Phil.

As opposed to the (ugh) Post-artisan age/influencer era of YouTube which started at

the bronze age (2014-2016) and the iron/dark age (2017-present day; worsened by the pandemic) where creativity and close-knit dynamics with audiences were replaced by low brow videos, low effort commentary toxicity/bullying, diss tracks, scandals involving forests, boxing matches and formulaic but financially extravagant Mr. Beast videos.
David: man I miss OG YouTube.

Simon: Fr dude, it was the Artisan age of youtube, funny stuff, like corridor digital, nostalgia critic. Freddie W and RocketJump.

David: Ever notice that youtube just dropped in artistic quality when VGHS ended? YouTube red showed up straight after, then that was it. Apocalypse, The Paul brothers. Viners came out of nowhere. Now it's a wasteland of creativity.

Youtube

An action of offensive and pointless stupidity; an individual who acts with offensive and pointless stupidity; a moment of offensive pointless stupidity (Def:1)

An action of inoffensive and purposeful intelligence; an individual who acts with inoffensive and purposeful intelligence; a moment of inoffensive and purposeful intelligence (Def:2)
A person farts in a crowded elevator and screams "It was I" and laughs maniacally. It smells really bad and people start to get sick. The person starts to play a Tiktok compilation on full volume without using headphones. This person is a Youtube. (Def:1)

A person stands back in a crowded elevator to let others in. They ask you which floor you would like, and press the button for you. They invite you to view a genuinely funny meme they found on Tiktok with you using their audio splitter cable, and it makes you laugh and brightens up your day, gosh you really needed that. It can be tough working a 9 to 5 shift, and sometimes you just need the funny meme. Thank you kind stranger. This person is a Youtube.
