Thank you for clarifying. I'll have to think about it, but at first blush, I'm completely in agreement with you.

Yeah, I mean you are perfectly able to say "I like modern Youtube." But I'm just nostalgic for when it wasn't oversaturated and there were global phenomena. Now there's so many special videos and memes for every group you pretty much can't keep up with it all so there's confusion when someone brings up something you're not a part of.
