You forgot about the ”Theres a youtube glitch going around causing people to randomly unsubscribe”

I once saw an Indian youtuber who said: "If you liked the video, leave a like. If you didn't, leave a dislike and comment on how I can improve in the future." He is my hero.

Back in the early days of YouTube, there were no like buttons, only stars.

Legends say to this day, people are still waiting for that cookie

[weirdyo]

It's scary how accurate the 2020 one was.
It's literally word for word

[bonkers]

the color correction and aspect ratios really sold this. your editing is always so on point

[vashvana]

On point as always, but you’re missing that 2016-2019 era where they would promise free giveaways and merch if you liked, subscribed and commented a response to some bs prompt like “what’s YOUR favorite lewd Minecraft mod? Let me know and I’ll read your comments :)” when they totally don’t read any

[ElementiaYT]

I like the implication that Minecraft is immortal, and will still be an incredibly popular game after decades.

For 2008 he should mention rating 5 stars as well

[Erthradar]

The fact you disrespect our history, and did not include "LEAVE A FIVE STAR REVIEW" is foul.

[PaperbackJourneys]

Making a video mocking YouTubers for asking for likes and subscribing is such genius. It’s like a company mocking other companies for advertising. You’re a master. I smashed the like button so hard I need a new mouse.

One creator I follow did a test. He never said “like and subscribe” in his videos because he thought it was tacky. It turns out, after he tried saying it, he got a boost in his subscription numbers. Some people actually respond to being told to subscribe.

2008's is so adorable. It's like he's just proud that he got a video out there into the world. And he should be. Sharing digital media to random people all over the world is a marvel of human accomplishment.

nowadays i feel like the message to 'like and subscribe' has become an existential mind game of how to manipulate your audience or how to be genuine

[nuttgiles]

The only reason i watched this video was to see if the subscribe button would light up

[angelicasysnila]

The genuinety in 2008 version is real. People looked like humans while asking to subscribe, now it's constant yelling at screen in a forced excited way

[thegnjoy]

I love that story about the toddler in Japan who says "Like and subscribe!" to his friends when he says goodbye because he thinks it's a normal farewell phrase.

[Ct-Toasty]

somehow he even got the lighting right for each era

The dramatic “SMASH” with the bell noise was so accurate for 2015. But it needed more airhorn noises.
