As someone who used Flash on Android a couple of times I have to fully agree with Steve Jobs. Flash on mobile touchscreen devices was crap, especially considering how slow those CPUs were at the time

I know you covered YouTube, but it really was amazing how ubiquitous flash video was. It was frustrating being and early iPhone user and not being able to access a lot of video. I also remember downloading .flv files back in the day to save web videos. Maybe you should cover real player next.

Your channel started in 2007. Yep, your channel is much older than my. My channel started in 2009 even today I still miss the full customization of backgrounds.

I still remember making my first point and click escape room game on Flash and publishing it on Newgrounds.
I learned how to draw basic vector art from tutorials on Newgrounds, and referenced actionscript books on learning to 'code'.
It was such an innocent time...

Does anyone remember the YouTube Player used to use Adobe Flash until 2015...

I generally don't care about half of what is presented, but Ken makes anything worth watching. Bravo to you, Ken, for making me want to be involved and learn. You are good at presenting (anything!)
