I have absolutely 0 ideas what NFT’s are. I sit back and watch people make thousands selling content that they’ve already made a shit ton of money from. Most of the NFT’s are segments of content or shit that I’ve never even see. I didn’t have to worry about never watching a video again, but they are now coming for classic YouTube videos. I can still remember the first time I watched a YouTube video. I was at my friend’s house, and he showed me this video on his shitty computer.
This video was reuploaded, but the year this was made was in 2008 so I was in 8th grade. Why he showed me this video? I have no idea, but I remember having my mind blown that there was a place where anybody could upload their own videos. YouTube has came a long way since then, but there thousands of classics still on the site.
I don’t want to see classic videos being turned into NFT’s and having my nostalgia ripped away. If you only know YouTube as a place for influencers and don’t remember the simple times of the internet, let me bring you back with these videos.
I could go on and on embedding videos from before 2012. For me, that’s when YouTube and technology really flipped. It probably has a lot to do with that’s the year I graduated high school. Anyway, hide yo old dance videos, hide yo old animal videos, and hide yo old news interviews cause they stealing everybody out here.
