This was during a time where everyone took KZbin as just a fun way to express themselves. Way back before the constant stream of fake pranks, drama, extremely edgy content, toxic clickbait, overly obsessive ranting and guilt tripping. It was a way more optimistic internet than the doomer landscape that we’re used to now. Man I miss it … Edit: To the people in the replies who keep saying that some of this shit still existed back then, be aware, these examples were not on nearly as high of a scale as they’re nowadays. The internet was never a perfect place. But most of us can agree, the internet as a whole has become much more toxic over the years for the most part. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. This comment wasn’t stating that none of this bs existed back then, but rather, none of this bs was as big enough to gain as much traction as it has now. Hence why I said, “CONSTANT STREAM OF __”, before labeling these examples. Actually read through the comment before replying with such idiocy.

Hell nigahiga never once in his videos asked to subscribe and was #1 for a while. People used 240p cameras to record legendary videos, literally anyone anywhere could become a star. There was no entry barrier, you didnt have to have the gear or algorithm knowledge or social media presence or literally anything to make it. All was fair game.

Markipler swear he's there for us. I'm proud to have know pewdiepie for the time I did. Good run. But with Markipler I was more on that Fandom. I regret not watch pewds rise, because I was one of those that did not like his content at first. He grew on me though and I'm happy to know about him as much as I did. Compared to all the other youtubers, he and Markipler were the most moral people on the platform.

[@theastonvillaseal585]

“Back then it was just about people that were awkward and wanted to post videos online” man let us appreciate those years again 🥺

[@aimblaze4630]

he says they shouldve appreciated everything back then, when i believe that we did, we just had so much fun, time flew and as everything does with time, it all changed

I love how marbles and Smosh are like, "I'm gonna be the best"

[@reliqua]

"shut up" Smosh era was peak KZbin bro i miss their skits

[@PurpleLemurs]

I grew up watching the people who started KZbin before KZbin was even a big thing. Literally all were just nerdy kids who were bored with a camera. Man, I miss those days.

[@ZaxHusky]

im glad that i found Pewds back then…i grew up watching so many of these old content creators that are gone…im glad we have great youtubers like Pewds

[@katlyndobransky2419]

I’m still so upset that Jenna left, I miss her content. But I’m happy that she’s engaged and living a peaceful life with her dogs. KZbin isn’t what it used to be, which is sad to think about

[@itsSmiv]

Pewds was definitely one of them in 2013; I started watching in 2012 and he had almost 3mil subs at that time

[@Vi_XXiV]

"I wasn't there in 2013" Cap. Cap. He was such a great content creator even back then.

[@YouTubeProTips]

This video aged like wine. We never appreciated the old KZbin until it's gone

[@HeyItsMe009]

They only 2 left.. smosh and pewdiepie

[@djvenom2.0]

The Vanoss Crew, SMG4, SML, Smosh, BHDTV, and RackaRacka were my favorite KZbinrs back in the day..

[@ryoujika]

Facts right there. Nighiga and Smosh was a huge part of my childhood. But hey, at least Felix is still the same chill guy he was before. Most youtubers nowadays are so full of themselves

[@Mixxium]

God it actually makes me kinda cry thinking back to Smosh and the beginning here.

[@Ishan.khanna]

"I wasn't there 2013" Says the only youtuber I was subbed to and ever watched that year ... (Apart from smosh ofc i just watched their intros cos they were fun to young me but never really understood their vids, only in 2016 did i understand the Dixon cider song....)

[@prospect8245]

[@pronobsarker3828]

pewdiepie was still on his incline, while those guys were already well famous and established with loyal subscribers at that time.

[@person9854]

More so I would say that that generation was at its peak around that time.

[@Ishan.khanna]

@@pronobsarker3828 True but he's still climbing even today This year he got almost 10m subs

[@pronobsarker3828]

@@Ishan.khanna true, but since he is already at the top, his passive increment is gonna be insane always, since there's always new accounts being made who are introduced to him. If anything, pewds is pretty much headed to retirement at this rate because there's literally nothing left to do for him on KZbin.

[@Vantalhaitham]

Demmmn, legends are forgotten and somewhat years pass, their glory days reminds us the valor of being a happy man.

[@fleuxdi7305]

He was definitely there at that time, he got a million subs in 2012 which was a lot back then

[@Freedmoon44]

And it still is alot, its just far simpler to exploit stuff to get the 1 million

[@neko-chan1513]

Ngl I got kinda emotional watching this bc seeing all those youtubers except pewdiepie gone just hits me

[@1776iscool]

I'm glad we have people like Joel Haver and Drew Gooden; they really keep that KZbin feel.

He's not wrong. Nowadays everyone's at each other's throats instead of hoping to see each other succeed. It's a shame

[@bobxie8634]

KZbin was part of my childhood that I do not regret going through.

[@anima099]

Losing relatability is the consequence of putting a platform into the mainstream then throwing billions of dollars at it. It's why people often felt closer to their KZbinrs when it was just 100 of them or something, especially since the KZbinr can still identify each subscriber by name.

[@bobstevenson3130]

The best part about KZbin back then was there were hardly any ads.

[@bobstevenson3130]

Also the like bar was green and the dislike bar was red LIKE HOW IT SHOULD BE
