Not just early YouTube, it feels like early 2000s Internet in general.
The biggest difference is that by around the late 90s when self hosting and learning HTML became accessible to normies, there was already a shitload of content online. Lemmy kind of has that backward, which is part of the slower growth pattern.
Very good point, it has kind of the same spirit indeed
Yep it's because you are noticed again. I love that we can talk like this and there is no Google server that is in the middle of the conversation. It's just servers owned by individuals that allow us to talk without knowing eachother first.
All of this used to require a centralized account at some corporation just a few months ago, and then reddit encouraged everyone to find alternatives. And Lemmy was ready.
It reminded me of how all this was before the corporations entered the internet. I'm old enough to remember.
yeah the way you phrased it. noticed again. i always felt I was aware of my motivations and actions the past decade. but now i have noticed that I was just lying to myself. the joy of creating for the sake of, was long gone.
Another article I read tonight and just posted, which goes to the same spirit of the pleasure of communication without corporations:
Thanks for sharing!
I fully agree, it's even made me start creating, because I wanted too see stuff here there is a feeling of just, doing things and that someone will have a nice time here from it
like a true online sandbox with no constraints/agenda
I wouldn’t call 2010 the early days of YouTube though
maybe but seeing ~14 years ago (guess thats like 09) in that description is pretty crazy either way
