  • I've been a viewer for about 3 years but only started making videos at the start of 2011

  • I've been watching his chick since 2008! She's the best comic on youtube, lol! I mean, look at that hair!

  • I've been watching videos since June 2010 but I don't make many videos :)

  • I just started doing vlogs and Covers in October. My first video was the nerimon youtube survey :D

    I've been a part of the community for over a year now, but I always thought that I couldn't make videos because I have this language "barriere" going on & I don't speak English fluently, but I discovered that it gets better everytime I try (:

  • Apparently I've been on Youtube for 4 years now, but still haven't got my bum in gear to make a vlog or anything other than posting random videos where I say nothing behind a camera... heh ugg. New years resolution might be to start posting something vloggy... maybe

  • I have only just made an account and really want to start making videos but I cannot for the life of me think what to do or how to start, please help.

  • Yay AuParis!! I met her at Summer in the City and she is the coolest person and deserves a ton more viewers!

  • I keep on saying I'm going to start, but I chicken out every time. Someday, I'm just going to start making videos twice a week and no matter how many views I get, I'm just going to keep on making videos, like as a diary for myself (that I don't mind a handful of random strangers that don't give a shit watching). Sometime. I'm only 13, so there's no rush.

  • Oh jeeze. I always thought you were in your early twenties, but we're the same age. Now that I know you may be experiencing some of the same late-teen-angsty emotions and challenges, you're much more relatable and human! Hooray for empathy!

  • I joined 4 years ago, but I'm a viewer, i.e. I haven't made any vids.

  • Only joined this year...wished I joined earlier...oh well

  • I join youtube Jan 2008, never really made any videos though =/ :')

  • im a newbie

  • i've been here for a few years...

  • Made the account in august !!! Newbie i is!

  • your sixth hairstyle was the one i liked best :)

  • I made my first video in December 2006, but I didn't properly get into YouTube until June 2007. I too have been here since I was 14. Yay...I think.

  • created this account Sep 28, 2006... was watching videos long before that. its been fun, and im glad i found your channel!

  • 2008. I made an account to comment on a video about The Dark Knight

  • Yesterday was my friend's a my one year vlogiversary! We do kind of a Vlogbrothers-inspired thing, except more for each other and less for Youtube.

  • brand new and you maek me want to vlog :)x

  • hi hun congrats on ffth utube birthday

    i have resently started uploading video do you have any tips?

  • I've been watching videos on youtube for 5 years and 5 months (exactly...yesterday).

  • I started watching videos in 2006 and created a channel in September of 2006 but I didn't post a video until September 2007. So it's been quite a while for me.

  • i started to watch youtube videos summer 2007 and after finding to many people to follow off my own memory i created an account january 31st 2008. i have uploaded vidoes, but have since taken them down because i wasn't totally comfortable with the whole i don't know who's watching me, also the style of my videos. but i currently have 3 videos in works to upload soon, possibly for p4a.

  • mid 2007, created this account. I knew about the site a good 6 months before then. I actually started using the account to sub to people late (fall ish) 2007.

    never uploaded anything.

  • I'm very new on youtube.

    made my first video a few days ago, I don't know what I'm doing.

    but that's why I made it, so I can learn!

  • I've only just posted my first video!!!! :O

  • 2 years on the 25th of October.

    Seems its gone pretty quickly tbh.

    I started when I was 13, so pretty ickle :L

  • I am so glad 14 year old you made that decision because I love your videos :)

    I'm 14, and have been making videos for a couple of months, though I've had the account about a year

  • I haven't been on youtube very long, maybe only 6 months. (though my account is way older, and I still like my username very much Ö) I feel like I started vlogging pretty quick after I started watching though..

  • I'm new...:)

  • I've been on Youtube for about five, six years, but since High School idiots found me out I stopped for two years, I've had this channel for three years and t's great!

  • Been watching YouTube since mid 2009 but made this account a year later :) I love YouTube, best website I ever signed up to.

  • I've been on youtube about a year and I keep wanting to make a vlog or something but I never have anything to talk about and I feel worried about people at school finding my account because there are people who are on youtube who've been bullied about it, it's great that you've been able to make videos for so long xox

  • Happy anniversary Kayley

  • I've watched videos on Youtube for years but until about November 2009 I didn't realize there was anything on here besides cat and music videos. That year though I discovered the vlogbrothers through John's books and 5AG through that which in turn in why I am here.

  • I've been here about a month, actively. But my camera recently broke. :( But I've been watching videos for about 3 years.

  • I have been watching youtube videos since 2005, but I did not start making videos untill January 2012.

    I was only nine 2005, and apparently thats too young to be making videos. So yeah, excited to finally start doing that.

  • YOUR HAIR LOOKS FREAKING GORGEOUS IN THE SQUARE ON THE LEFT CLOSEST TO YOUR FACE WITH THE BLACK CARDIGAN BLAZER THING .UNG. WANT THAT. (NOT THAT YOUR HAIR AIN'T AWESOME RIGHT NOW TOO :D)

  • I've had an account since 2007, but I've only been on here consistently since about 2009.

  • 2 years

  • 2k6er... that damn lonelygirl got me into YT :P

    TWK, paytotheorderofofof2, and LG15 were my first 3 subs...

  • I've been around since about late 2006, flirted with vlogging and such but could never bring myself to actually upload stuff. I'm sure this comment will be lost to the depths, but your early videos, especially with the 5AG, and Rosianna's stuff among others really helped me get through a really unhappy period of my life about 4 years ago. Thank you. :)

  • I've been watching youtube videos for a few years, just for music and stuff, but it wasn't really a big thing until I discovered the vlogbrothers in like... september? i think?... of 2010, and have sinced found charlieissocoollike, nerimon, lindseyisthenerdiest, etc. Needless to say I am addicted, and I really really want to make videos of my own, but i don't really know what to talk about and i don't want to screw it up. however, i hope to get up my nerve and start going soon. :)

  • I've been watching videos on youtube for about 3 or 4 years. My account used to be HC90125 but I recently decided to take the plunge and just create a new one with a username I actually liked. I've never made videos on my personal channel but I do have a collab channel but all the videos are privated because it's just a way to communicate with online friends instead of doing it for the sake of creating contet.

  • since 2007!

  • Apparently I made my channel 3 months before you, and I still haven't made any videos.

    Way. To. Be.

  • I just got an account about three months ago, when I had to come home from uni because I got sick. About a month ago I bought myself a video camera and (hopefully) will be making my own videos soon :)

  • I just made a strange discovery. Many older videos on other channels had people I didn't recognize in them: Lots of those people were you. You look very different than you used to, and it makes me feel very unobservant.

  • I made my first account (not this one) on 8th October 2006 which is... a REALLY long time ago. But I didn't really watch YouTube much until November last year when I found the Vlogbrothers and now I spend probably 2-3 hours a day watching YouTube videos. Woo.

  • Your short hair is adorable!

  • I've been watching youtube for over a year now, but I never made a video because I was afraid to and I thought I was too young. Last week I started a collab channel with other nerdfighters from NY, and I'm really getting into it! It's nice to hear that you started making videos when you were 14, because I'm 14 too and now I don't feel like I'm starting at too young of an age! I love your videos and you're a big inspiration to me!

  • I've actually watched YouTube videos for the longest time before signing up to YouTube. I started watching videos in 2007 and only made an account last year. And even though I haven't been putting that much videos up, I've still managed to make awesome friends that helped me fly across the world to get to freaking LA for VidCon. I love YouTube. Everyone should have a little bit of YouTube in their life.

  • I started really getting into youtube when i subbed the volgbrothers about a year ago after project for awesome. ive wanted to start vlogging for so long but i always film the videos and then dont like them enough to edit them lol

    but its something i really want to to do because a lot of people on youtube really inspire and i want to keep meeting these new people and develop genuine friendships because its just a great community.

    i have an idea for this project for awesome though!

  • I've been on youtube several years, discovered Charleissocoollike, from him: fiveawesomeguys, then Nerimon, then TomMilsom and Musicfromblueskies, then vlogbrothers and other smaller youtubers.

  • I started watching the Vlogbrothers in April this year and this changed my life because since than I am discovering Youtube and all its amazing Youtubers. So, I stick around for about for 7 month watching videos and I'm wondering if I should also dare making videos, but I don't have time, I don't know what to talk about, I don't have a good camera (besides that integrated in my Laptop) and I know nothing about editing...and I don't know if I should vlog in german or english oO

  • I started on Youtube in May of this year & it's been awesome ever since. I just found you channel & I really look for to seeing more of your stuff. Cheers!

  • Almost 2 years... How did you manage to make friends over the internet without your parents (or even yourself) thinking it's slightly strange/creepy? (sorry)

  • huh, I've been on youtube for a while, but I never made any videos. And I lost my first account because I forgot the password -__- yeup. But wasn't the age limit higher back then? I remember I had to fake my birthday to get an account!

  • I've been here for about 5 years. But I've only properly been making videos for about 3.

  • I have been on Youtube for about 2.5 years. So half the time you have been on here.

  • In some of your "evolution of my hair" pictures, you look sooo like Drew Barrymore!

  • I don't have any videos up anymore... they used to be clips from my favourite shows to music (yup I was that cool!), but I started on 12th Feb 2007. Time flies!

  • My channel has been alive for a grand total of 4 days. YAY FOR NEWBIES!

  • I've been on YouTube forever. I actually started making videos in 2006 or 2007 (eighth grade!), but they were super embarrassing and can no longer be found. Unfortunately I didn't start again until earlier this year.

  • I've been watching youtubers since like late 2006 but I didn't make my first account until spring 08 and even then I didn't really start vlogging until this fall. I don't think my videos are that good yet but I decided its been long enough so I'm gonna do it! ... :/

  • 1 year :)

  • a few maonths, havent put anything up yet but will soon :)

  • (Also I find it very very hard to make friends)

  • I've been big on watching videos on YouTube forever, but never really considered actually putting anything up myself until this summer. I believe my first one went up in August or September? I'm pretty much a newbie. I feel like I'm entering a different YouTube than you did because of how the website evolved and grew over the past 5 years. I'm much more hidden among other newbies.

  • wat happend to tardistacular?

  • Video making...

    5month (:

  • I've been watching youtube for almost 2 years. Still haven't made any videos though, I want to but I just can't find the time to do so. And I've always been bad about starting things, haha!

  • My five years was in September :)

  • I've been on the Tubes for about 7 or 8 months, I think (:

  • I've been here for a year now. On the 2nd of December, I actually celebrated my first year as a Nerdfighter, so yay.

  • 2 years. :)

  • Are you still going to make a video about living in London? Cause I'm moving there next month, and as you can imagine, I have A LOT of questions.

  • Lurked for about two years, active for one.

  • I started watching videos in 2006, started making videos in 2009 but realised soon enough I had nothing remotely interesting to talk about and so went on a 2 year hiatus. I made this new account and have since started making videos again, and whether or not I now have something interesting to say, I let other people be the judge of that :)

  • I've been "on" Youtube for a little over two years now, I guess! Kind of weird, it's never felt that long. Even though I've never fully involved myself with the community, I think being a watcher (primarily) has changed me in a lot of ways. For instance, I'm a lot more open minded now towards a lot of social issues. And! I even type coherently now, so that's good :)

  • I tune in for hair. I'm not kidding.

  • You know what would be epic? You and Rosianna doing a TARDIStacular video together, just riffing off each other's points :P

  • I've been making videos for almost a year now

  • Happy birthday to my favourite YT channel! you're so young and looking so great! let's throw a party yay! all the best for the years to come xox

  • love the hair pics. I started watching youtube in 2008 and remember watching you girls back then. Ive been an official youtuber (as in making videos) for 2 years now :) thanks for asking.

  • My favorite part about going through older videos of yours is seeing how your hair has changed. Sometimes I feel like your hair changes kind of go along with your development as a vlogger. The first videos I saw of you were 5AG back in the days when your hair was short(ish), blonde and curly. And you still seemed pretty shy and like a good little girl to me.Now your hair is crazy red. And you don't appear to be shy at all anymore. :)

  • I didn't get to the end of the video when I was commenting before, but I just wanted to say MALIA IS AWESOME, WOOH!

  • I joined in 2006 but I didn't get into the whole YouTube community thing until early 2010 and didn't start making videos until that summer. I also think this is a great way to look back at the past, what better than video to see and hear and revisit your past experiences?

    Congratulations for the 5 years :)

  • Woah, I spontaneously decided to paint my fingernails the same way today. Yay, Christmas colours! I don't celebrate Christmas, but deep reds and greens are so beautiful at this time of year.

    I've been silently watching for two-ish years, during which I decided to make an account, but I'm still not ready to start posting videos now. Soon, maybe? :)

  • I think I started watching videos in 2007, but I can't really remember considering I've gone through so many youtube channels (i dunno why but I always change things). I started making videos but then I decided I really didn't like it. I didn't like how critical I got of myself. (I'm more of a blogger than a vlogger).

  • Oh how times change... It's crazy seeing people you knew on the interwebz. man did I have the fattest crush on you in elementary school. gl in london and keep up the awesome videos!

  • Fingernails! We had the same nail polish idea!

  • I've been watching since 2008 but I've never made a video! I still get a lot of enjoyment out of the community though. In a weird way I don't quite know what I'd be like without youtube either. I don't have youtube friends like you do but watching vlogbrothers and 5AG got me through the horror that was high school. So, thanks!

  • Malia is the best!!

    And happy birthday, channel!

  • I apparently made an account in September 2007, but I had been watching videos for a while before that. I'm still only trying to get around to making my own videos though. :P

  • happy birthday and i've been on the 'tube for about 8 months now... WOW... time flies

  • happy birthday

  • I first joined dec 12th 2006. So..I will have been on here for 5 years in a about a week. That makes you exactly one week older than me. I just wish I had 5 years worth of videos to show for it.

  • I've only been on YouTube about a year, and I only post videos every few months or so...heh

  • Comment removed

  • I've wanted to make a video for a while, but I only have the mobile version of YouTube so I am not sure how to upload them. Can anyone offer any helping hints?

    Isaac

  • I like how at one stage your hair was once a "hopeonatenspeed".

  • I'm pretty new on YouTube, I only got into it about a year and a half ago, an I myself would vlog, but I'm already breaking my mom's rules let alone watching videos...and not because I'm too young....

  • I've been on YouTube for about 3 years and made an account 2 years ago and I was gonna wait till I am 16 to start vlogging but since you started at 14 and I am 14 I'm gonna start some time in the very near future, any tips?

  • YOUR NAILS...are festive. :D Teeheehee

  • I started my first account in 2007, but I didn't start stalking vloggers until about a year ago.

  • I've been on YouTube since 2007, and despite my adoration of the vlogging community, I never took it up myself. It's something I wish I had done, and may start once I graduate high school (just 9 months left aaaah!). I'm one of those devoted onlookers :)

  • what r on ur nails?????

  • Basically, I'm a YouTube fetus. I've been stalking YouTube for the better part of two years, I think. But I've only been vlogging for about ten months.

  • @LindseytheNerdiest lol, I follow your account! I love your videos! They are always funny and witty :) And I don't think you can count as a youtube fetus if John and Hank Green noticed you... just sayin' :)

  • @CloveForay Thank you! And there are no words to describe how pumped I was when John and Hank featured me for Nerd Factor, but as far as vlogging goes, I still have a LOT to learn. Especially compared to some of the veterans--like Kayley, for example. In those respects, I'm definitely a fetus.

  • happy birthday!!! ^_^ I've had an account for years but never really used it, I wish I had discovered the underworld of youtube before going to film school *sigh*

  • Happy Day After the Fifth Birthday!!!!!!!

    and without youtube my life would be without laughs :P

  • Happy belated fifth YouTube birthday!!

  • I made a YouTube account less than a year ago. I've only posted three videos, and I've taken two of them down. I've thought about vlogging, but I have reservations about it and so I haven't done it yet. We'll see what I'll do in the future.

  • @owlssayhooot Thank you very much! ^.^

  • 2007 Youtube was where is was AT.

  • Been on youtube about a year and a half and just celebrated my first vlogiversary! =)

  • I'm fairly new at video making but I've been watching videos for about a year now. I'm hoping I get to be on here making videos for five years because I'm enjoying it thoroughly even if I have zero time to do it. Congratulations on your five years.

  • Its almost 1 year since is started making videos on youtube!! YAY I"M 1!!

  • I've been been on youtube for a really long time, but I've never actually contributed anything to the site. I want to start making videos in the new year, and the ideas in my head are starting to sort of become brain crack but I have no idea how to begin.

  • On youtube for seven months but I've only be vlogging for about four. Honestly, I only made a channel because I wanted to participate in P4A this year but vlogging has turned into one of my favourite hobbies :) I think you are awesome. Congratulations on five years of youtube!

  • i've been around youtube with this username for 3 years this week. i didnt think to look at my youtube birthday until you uploaded this video. so thanks for the reminder! it was on the 2nd.

    but i did have another highly embarrassing username before this one for a few years. so i would say its probably been about 5 years for me as well. only im just watching.

    perhaps i should start creating content myself finally.

  • I deleted my first account because I wasn't using it for anything except posting AMVs that I struggled to make as I figured out editing software. That account was from the end of 2006 (I think) and I really wish that I hadn't gotten rid of it now. My current account is from the end of 2009. I made it because I'd started watching vlogbrothers videos and wanted to subscribe/rate/comment on P4A stuff.

  • You should straighten your hair instead of scrunching it. I think it would look really good.

  • @msfreebird15 I have too thin of hair to straighten it. Plus, I already dye my haid and perm it, I don't need more damage :P But I don't scrunch it.

  • @msfreebird15 I disagree.

  • I think I've been on youtube for two-ish years? I'm only 15 though, so I'm pretty sure I found this place at just the right time :)

  • I have yet to work up the courage to actually film my own videos, but I've been obsessed with the YouTube community for roughly four years. :)

  • I've been on YouTube for over 5 years.

  • I found Youtube probably five or four years ago but I never thought of actually commenting on it. And then I discovered your videos and Vlogbrothers and starting actually this past April did I begin posting videos. I wish I could have been apart of this wonderful community sooner.

  • If this makes you feel any better, I think your hair is gorgeous! I have red, curly hair and I wish I could make it behave like that! :) You're so lucky.

  • lol the funny thing is i joined like 2 months before you wow how the years have gone by :P 

  • I've been on youtube for a little over a year now, but i've only been vlogging since april (seven months or so?). Five years seems like an incredible journey. I feel like I've changed so much from just watching others and learning how to actually make videos. I can't even imagine where I'll be in five years! You kind of inspired me to start Kayley, because I started when I was 15, which was roughly the age you started at! So, thanks for that!

  • I've had an account for a while (though not as long as you), but I made my first videos this summer. Yup.

  • Congrats!!!!! Owls love you! :)

  • my fifteen birthday was yesterday!

  • I've been on youtube for almost 3 years now and I started making videos on a collab with friends a little over a year ago. I'm glad I joined and got involved with the community when I did. Youtube has become my internet second home in some respects and I thoroughly enjoy the awesome community that's been built here.

    Congrats on 5 years :)

  • Been vlogging for less than a year, and seriously love it. I know you get this question probably twenty five and a half times per day, but how did you, personally, get to be better known? By the way, I do seriously love your Christmasy vlogs. They're making me super happy.

  • You are making video per day now!

  • @appler3 That's the idea, haha!

  • Happy birthday.

  • I've been on youtube since Christmas day in 2008 but I've changed channels twice because of usernames. :| Still a bit of a crap name but sure. :P I only found your channel about a year or two ago though. :( I'm really enjoying your Christmas videos this year, most people I watch are a bit too indifferent to it for my liking. Love your nails btw. :D

  • Comment removed

  • Whoa... how are you living in London? You're American! How did you get there?! That's what I'm trying to do! :'( Tell me your secret!!!!! :(

  • @idkyetdou I'm studying here.

  • @idkyetdou I believe there are these things called planes ;)

  • @idkyetdou looks better on tv being english trust me when i say england is a SHITHOLE

  • I love our dark dark red hair!:)

  • Congrats on five years! I'm a fairly recent viewer, I've been subscribed for about a year or so but I've enjoyed all your videos. You are one of the best at being able to balance being intelligent and insightful along with with being funny and occasionally a bit silly. It's a perfect mix. I'm really enjoying these Vlogmas videos too. Also, for the record, your hair looks great :)

  • I signed up in early 2006, co-incidentally on the birthday of my favourite Japanese celebrity (who at the time I didn't know existed).

    I signed up to comment, and comment I do!

    I only started vlogging recently. (Still don't have a solid topic).

  • I liked your hair red and straight the best. You look really cute now too! :)

  • @zooeymast It was never red and straight, actually. hasn't be straight in years, since before I dyed it. :P

  • @owlssayhooot It looked pretty straight before. Now that it's curly, I'm always like, "Is that a mermaid on my homepa-- no. No, that's Kayley."

  • @owlssayhooot I mean straighter.. the one before this current curly, curly, hair you have now. Which I also quite enjoy :P

  • I started when I was 11 in the summer of '07 (because my brother made videos), and I made really random videos that no one cared about. Now, four and a half years later my channel is definitely catered towards music and arrangements and video editing. It took my a long time to realize that was what I wanted to do with my channel.

  • I made my first account in the summer of 2008, after having watched for a few months. I made it to subscribe to people. I made this account to make videos on a little over a year ago. The reason I made a new account is to have a better username...lol no.

  • had an account for a while and I am trying to get into making videos now

  • I made this account in 2007, at 11, and had a sideways video of my cat on it, that's it. I started my video channel, actually making videos, in January 2010. In spring-summer 2009 I had discovered the vlogbrothers, watched all their videos, found basically everyone I'm subscribed to through them is some way or another and the rest is history! :)

  • Joined youtube in 2006. It's weird, I have messages from youtube users like MysteryGuitarMan asking me to check out their channel. Youtube has grown so much!

  • I made my account about five and a halfish years ago, when I was 13, but I only started making videos around March on my collab channel. I didn't think I was ever going to vlog independently of that except for a couple of video responses that I did, so by the time I realized I had made quite a number of videos it was too late to change my ridiculous user name.

    Oh, and I think your hair looks great always, but that's just coming from someone who frequently makes videos with wet hair. :P

  • Happy Youtube B-day (YTBD?)

    May you have many more. :)

  • The 23rd of May is my birthday!

  • hmm.. i've been here for almost 5 years too.. although.. I'm not really around here all that much anymore.. i guess 13yr old me needed the internet and youtube more than the 18yr old me.. I find my blog shows more of how i've changed over that time than my youtube channel does tbh :)
