Talking about my past (1/3)

In this video I get into the deep lore of children on YouTube, from viewer to creator, from willing to forced, and from manipulated to manipulative. Big thanks to EvanTubeHD for allowing me to interview him!

    As someone who used to watch EvantubeHD, it's oddly reassuring to know he's doing fine
  • Kids in normal YouTube is a special kind. They are basically our childhood, we all started as a kid trying to get popular in YouTube. We just wanted to be a known celebrity but once our channel didn't really get attention and we just got bored, some of us quit making content for a while and watch content made by other people.
  • @SwaggyG_2102
    That "Broadcast Yourself" slogan Youtube had represents an ancient part of Youtube where videos were made solely for fun and creativity and not just with money on the mind.
  • I really didn’t expect this to get so depressing at the end. I hope you’re remembered for who you are, and not what people like the most on your channel! Fr though, I feel like I might tear up lol
  • @2_many_alts
    I’m calling that YouTube won’t listen to the disclaimer and will coppa this vid 😉
  • @valterssluka1945
    had literally no idea that you were just 17! That speaks volumes about the quality of your content! Keep it up!
  • Watching EvanTube grow up and turn out fine is a very satisfying thing. I love to go on his art account and look at his Homestuck Lego art, he seems like a very happy person :)
  • @kj117br5
    I’m not a youtuber, but I think the best way to not get remembered by who you was and not who you are is to not change yourself for the numbers, after all, who are you if not your true self
  • @varion_
    hits hard with "never see me again" at the end. hope ur doing well man
  • @shanthegamer21
    I still hate the fact that toddlers with YouTube accounts would spam gibberish on everything, especially stuff that isn’t made for their age like FNAF, The Amazing Digital Circus, Annoying Orange, BFDI, Happy Tree Friends, etc.

    I had a youtube account as a kid too, most of them was for my original character's or creepypastas- but I also had a littlest pet shop youtube channel my older sis helped make (she edited the videos and played with them w me). It wasn't popular by any means, but some people did watch them. I LOVED lps videos. I miss it sometimes, making the channel was my idea and she helped pay for more lps and stuff. She even made a little instagram account for them. But on the flipside, the saddest part to me is when it's a kids idea, but fame causes it to warp into something greedy. I remember my littlest sister who was around Ryan's age, he was a year or so older, and she LOVED ryans toy reviews. I remember watching as it split into a kid who was just having fun to more and more corporate BS. I feel like as a kid ages, that's going to sour the love you had for something your parents helped produce, bc some day you'll realize it was for money and not genuine. I watched your most pop video years back, I loved it! I also love the videos you make now. Life ain't about peaking. It's about doing what u love. + if it is about peaking ppl can peak like 300 times in their lives anyways

    I was literally a kid on Youtube back when I made my channel in 2008, heck I think I still am, despite doing the youtube work (making money and such) I still like to use the platform to share what I enjoy creating
  • @Lilbluedragon
    I’ll always remember you t3rr0r, you made my childhood better. I’m old enough to be on yt tho

    Its also worth noting that teen wilderness camps and teen therapy camps, pillars of the "tough-love" teaching mentality, are often places vulnerable teens are left to be abused mentally and physically usually without the parents knowledge, often having cult like mentalities. I remember growing up and finding out about these "camps" that kidnap children (with parental consent) at night and take them to places a long ways from home or any known civilizations. Many victims often reported escape attempts (with some thwarted by the camp members or cops) and horrible cases of abuse that could've resulted in death. I remember one story where a child wasn't allowed to go to the hospital for a broken arm (caused by camp members as a way of punishment) unless he lied to the hospital of how it was broken. And another where campers would often be forced to scream degrading insults to other campers to punish them into compliance. Knowing the mother she knew exactly what she was doing to the child, and since it was a wilderness camp he was most likely taken with only the clothes on his back, forced to survive on very little food, and most likely had no other clothes, shelter, or sleeping arrangements. Hearing he had to go home after all that just to find out his parents had taken everything and only gave him a bean bag to sleep on must have been so horrible. I can only hope he's able to over come these experiences in the future with professionals and people who actually care for him.

    I know this may sound corny and whatnot, but I’m gonna say this anyways. Man. Just, man. Your videos always feel like an experience to watch. They’re well put together, easily grab my attention, maintain said attention, and honestly get a good laugh out of me. Admittedly, it’s a little odd to see you make such a serious video like this, considering the silly and ridiculous content you usually make (/pos), but it definitely isn’t unwelcome! I always like seeing new uploads show up on my recommended from you. Please, keep this up. I’m sure me and the other 300k+ subscribers agree. (Also it’s kind of shocking to hear you aren’t even a legal adult! You’re doing well for yourself!)
  • @That_One_Guy_fr
    Evantube was hosted watched that dude when I was like 5 in 13 now also YOURE ONLY 17 YOURE VIDEOS ARE SO WELL PRODUCED AND YOURE STILL A KID
  • @woolchipmunk
    honestly the ending to the video reminds me of friends I had in primary school, we never made youtube videos but we occasionally recorded videos to laugh at later. I found one of them a while ago and while rewatching it I experienced the same thing you mentioned in your outro. Its reassuring knowing they may rewatch some of the same videos and feel the same way about me as I did to them.
  • @TheMomma4three
    I loved this video, I think you've grown with the channel, I can see the maturity and creativity change and become so much more refined! Always loved, never forgotten
