It was either dataintright or zipster. they subbed almost at the same time ....i wish now i had kept the emails with the timestamp on it. I have heard this question before. One of em tho lol.
@thenudo Hey Tony. Those are two good ones. I replied to your email and it kicked back with a delivery failure note. I'll try to send it again tomorrow. -Jim
My first subscribers have closed accounts :( but the first person I subscribed to was SETH38101! If it wasn't for him, I would have never heard of Southtube. If I had never heard of southtube, I would never have looked for "NorthTube" which led me to discover the Midwest Gathering in my own city! I would not have discovered my full potential, I would not have had this opportunity to meet so many wonderful people.
And for that I thank seth38101 & it was an honor to finally meet him in person!!
It was over 3 years ago with my first channel and I really can't remember but most likely Billy, LeSaMilano and the one and only popebenadict16 were amongst my first few and not necessarily in that order
My first was Sign543. i cant remember who 2 and 3 were but i do know that DearestBecky was very very good for me, and she was also very early in my career, so she has a very special place in my heart.
yah, i had no idea at first till i checked his channel out, then i was like " holy shit"...lol...he messages me occasionally and ALWAYS replies to my comments..he's actually very talented singer and so is his son..his son is actually amazingly talented...and yes, becky and i are good friends now....she dont know it yet, but imhavin normans mustache...lol
who is marge...what's her screenname, i will gladly " do her "...lol..for real, i will. i love gettin in on the action when they're still fresh...hehehe
Thanks for subscribing Jim! Well I should have clarified my comment - Moomay was my first - but I thought you might have meant folks that have videos up - I have a camera issue (not having one of my own) - I have to enlist my son-in-law's help with filming! Hopefully soon!
I was on YT before YT became cool! Just about to celebrate 4 years here. I became a member December 25, 2005 when my daughter made me a video as a Christmas gift. Thus... my daughter was my 1st and my son was my 2nd. No offense to anyone, but I wouldn't trade my 1st and 2nd for nuttin!
Roc totally Rocks.... I'm glad she was your first Jim! And WOW, to have Lemonette subscribe as your 3rd, she must have saw early on how wonderful you are!
I joined YT so long ago that now I can hardly remember because it was my old account that isn't there any longer. I think Wolflore was one of my very first. OhCurt (his other channel) was 2nd or 3rd. I still watch these folks today!
YOU were the first PERSON I ever saw eat a container of Eagle brand cream from a can..(or whatever the name of it was..) Remember? It was all thick and sweet? And the vegemite stuff too.
You actually made it look GOOD the way you ate it, lol!
Wow, Tubegranny's to blame for how moist this channel is? LOL
Mine was some random person who posted unedited cat videos who was just being nice and subbing back to people. Don't even remember the woman's user name and I have no idea if she's still around. No clue who the 2nd and 3rd were at all.
Actually, you've made me curious and I now plan to look this up (just remembered that there are a couple places I can look)......
Okay, it turns out my first was evercat2 and, yep, she's still around.... whoever she is. LOL
2nd and 3rd were people I've known for some time before coming to YouTube but it doesn't look like either of them use their accounts anymore.
Too funny...
In fact, it looks like FantasticBabblings was subscriber #5, Ravensinger was #6 and the rest of the "top twenty" are people who've since closed down or wandered away.
I don't know who my first subscriber was...but the first person I subbed to was digitalsoul. He made this vid about his son and I just fell in love with it! I think they even featured it back when ytube was about the community! ;)
how to find out?
