I Grew Up on YouTube: A Love Letter to Let's Playing

[@chrissutter7578]

Just found this video. Really made me reminisce on such an impactful time in our lives. I’ll always cherish those memories and I love that you made this. Can’t wait to see more of your work. - Titan

Hey Luke, I just randomly came across your channel after your LOTR video popped up in my recommended feed, and I just want to say I was absolutely shocked when I saw how few subscribers you had and how few views there were on that video. I’ve seen channels with over a million subscribers that don’t make videos anywhere near the quality level you do. And then I came across this video and oh man what a blast from the past it was. I’m 22 now and really got into KZbin heavily at what seems to be the same time as you, and it looks like we got into the same Let’s Playing community. ChuggaaConroy, NCS, AttackingTucans, JoshJepson, TheRunawayGuys, and just about all the other channels you listed took up thousands of hours of my childhood and I almost forgot what a big part they played in it. Idk about you but I’ve tried here and there to go back and get back into those channels but for some reason it’s just not the same. Maybe we grew up but the videos didn’t grow up with us, idk, but I just haven’t been able to get back into something I used to love so much. But either way this video was really touching and well done for someone who seems to have grown up loving the same things you did. It’s too bad we never connected on KZbin back when I was filming my DS with a camera for a god awful quality Let’s Play. Who knows, we might’ve become friends. But to wrap it up I just want to say man that you have a real talent for telling a story and putting it all together in a well done video, and that you shouldn’t give up on this channel for lack of subscribers and views. Because eventually I promise you that this stuff is too good to go unappreciated, and that if you keep at it at some point people will find it like I did. Keep it up man 👌

Wow, thank you for this wonderful comment. It's cool to see others out there who was apart of this. Not many know about that portion of KZbin as it only existed a short time before the Pewdiepies of the world came along. I also appreciate what you said about my videos, it was very kind. I'll use this as more motivation to keep chuggin along making videos. Have a good one!

I love this so much! The time has honestly flone by! It's crazy to think how much the internet has had an impact on our lives. I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. Knowing y'all has truly shaped me into a much better person than I know I would have been had I not known you. This is so well made and I respect everything you've done so much. I can't wait to see where things go for you in life. I'm so beyond proud of you and all your accomplishments.
