Rewind Time

This week, we delve into the mysterious world of lonelygirl15, which began in 2006 as a vlog by a teenage girl named Bree but turned out to be a groundbreaking web series.

We recount the channel’s rise to the most subscribed on YouTube, the eventual reveal of its fictional nature, and the innovative use of social media integration, product placements, and viewer-funded content.

This week we are subscribing to:

Welcome to Rewind Time, an unofficial YouTube history podcast. 

This week we are chatting the iconic early YouTube channel Smosh, created by Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox.  We talk the major milestones, including Smosh's rise to become the most subscribed YouTube channel, their acquisition by Defy Media (RIP), and eventual return to form and evolution. Oh, also our groceries arrive midway through - no haul this time :(
