I can’t update YouTube on my iPad 2 that I got running again for the first time in years. It said it had been 70,000~ hours since last full charge. I wanted to use it to watch videos on when I’m going to bed. But I can’t actually login to YouTube because the app is so old and I seemingly can’t update it.

I was using the web browser and yeah I don’t remember it being so damn slow. It’s crazy how that is.

Managed Service Provider, for those curious.

That’s totally fair. Nebula has been a good place for me to find distilled content from the creators I really care about. Hard to argue in Google’s defence lately. They bought it early so who knows what it might been if it stayed independent.

Just got a soft spot for the site I guess. It gave me some of my favorite people.

Oh yeah. It’s weird being old enough to remember a time before youtube and I’m still pretty young. My (much) older sister and I would AIM chat and email all the time. We had ytmnd.com and stupidvideos.com, but it turned out people would rather take the ease of video sharing whatever rather than the pseudo video dating youtube were trying and the founders recognized the greater potential.

I remember when the site first went public, even early on it was so much better than the others. Even with all the problems I’ll always love YT.
