In the age of TikTok and Reels, YouTube feels like the quirky older sibling that introduced us to the internet. For Gen Z, it was a cornerstone of our childhood—whether we were binge-watching makeup tutorials, gaming streams, or viral moments like Leave Britney Alone and Baby Shark. It’s where we played music videos on repeat and looked up lyrics to our favorite songs.
In this episode, Maya and Aidan take a nostalgic dive into YouTube’s golden era, reminiscing about the days when they’d rush home from school, sit in front of their computers, and queue up their favorite creators.
We discuss the rise and fall of Colleen Ballinger, why Trisha Paytas seems impossible to cancel, and the era of long-form content—think two-hour vlogs, GRWMs, and iconic crying on the kitchen floor moments.
This is a good one—buckle up.
