Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

According to a quick search the biggest cohort of YouTube users is 25 to 34, your account is not older than most people on YouTube. I'd apologize for being a pedantic asshole but I'd be lying, I thrive on it.

    This makes me feel better actually. I always get the vibe that it's all kids and teenagers. Maybe because they've made it too "soft" for lack of a better word that I can think of rn. I'll stop back in another 19 years.

    Older people consume the content because that’s the dynamic that we are used to. Few produce it, we don’t have much we “need” to share or say, we are also busy earning. Young people are also busy earning, but it just so happens that their business is the platform, and they “need” to share - not that anyone is asking them to except for the advertising machine that feeds off the engagement, click and rage bait.

    I don’t even think under 18s can post, so what’s your metric you’re even using here?

    Vibes only. High margin of error when it comes to actual numbers but it still feels that way to me. I was only informed of the actual stats in this very thread. Can't mark this as the first time I'm been way off the mark. Ive kinda made a habit of it which is fine with enough beer.

    You forget that most adults are mentally children, only with more money and less time. My homelab is just a more expensive lego set.

    I remember asking my dad why he didn't watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn't like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.

    To be fair, I don't like the cartoons that existed when he was a kid anymore. But I still like the ones that existed when I was a kid. And I very much like the ones that didn't exist yet when I was a kid but do exist now.

    So his opinion made sense at the time.

    Yeah I not longer enjoy the cartoons that are targeted towards kids, with a few exceptions.

    Classics like Tom and Jerry survive, and "adult animation" stepped in to save us just before we had to grow up for real.

    I'm sure the number of actual small children that use YouTube is quite high as well, but data would be skewed since they aren't supposed to be on there. The views of channels that cater to them are on another level.
