    I remember early YouTube, but that was years after I was playing with Photoshop and throwing up pics on AOL chat rooms. I even still talk to a girl I met on there nearly 30 years ago.

      Absolutely no way my parents would have let me on a chat room with random people before maybe middle school or highschool because they’d be worried about their autistic son. So I never got to experience them since by the time I was old enough, chat rooms were dying to macrohard controlled skype.

      Early yt was definitely a wild west from my hazy memories. Definitely a much more free and friendly time for the content you could make and language you could use.
