Who remembers when this was the most watched video on YouTube?
“The clip received 70 million views in under 8 months. At that time, it was rated on YouTube as: #1 Most Viewed All Time Video on YouTube.com.” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judson_Laipply
“He uploaded the dance to YouTube on April 6th, 2006.” - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/evolution-of-dance
As someone said in the comments, they really don’t make (promote) videos like this any more.
It’s just a beautiful video, someone performed something on stage, the crowd clearly loved it. It required real talent, and wasn’t just done to get Youtube views in a weekly/daily video posts trying only to drive engagement.
A shame that Youtube’s best days are long behind it. Yes the beast is bigger than ever and has so many more people, but it’s not quality rising to the top.
Most of YouTube used to be this type of thing.
A More Civilized Age.
Mr. Beast’s videos are pure brain rot.
