YouTube

What’s up YouTube?

It’s ya boy

commin’ atcha

from 2015

Jump cuts and slick hooks

Did you go viral

or end up spiralling

out of control

into heartfelt apologies

and a devastating loss

of subscribers and sponsors

but what is our response

to you now that we’ve

turned off notifications

and tuned out your noise?

Thoughts

For all its faults, I still love YouTube. It’s the one streaming service I watch more than any other. You can view so much random stuff. I was watching someone earlier that I used to be subscribed to back in the day. They are still great, doing their thing. But it reminded me of all those young kids who got too much fame too soon and inevitably crashed back to earth. It’s nice to see some of those who learned from the experience and moved forward. I’m glad they are doing well.
