 Stay tuned to the end of this video because it is time, once again, for the Nerdfighteria census. Good morning, John! It's the last reunion video! Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba! It's Question Tuesday. We answer real questions from real Nerdfighters. We're gonna get right to it. It's the YouTube edition. John! Yeah? Who is your favorite OG YouTuber back in the real early days? Mmm, Community Channel Natalie Tran. Natalie Tran. My 2006 favorite was probably Lonely Girl 15. Yeah, my 2006 favorite probably, like, The Winecone. Oh, I loved The Winecone. And Ze Frank, of course. When did you realize this was gonna be your job? It's still not my job. I don't get paid to do this. So, uh, Neff, careers on YouTube tend to be very short. Like, Hank and I've been on YouTube for 15 years now, and so we've seen how really, really good careers cannot last very long. And the people who stick around tend to be people who reinvent themselves a lot. And- Which we don't do! And us! Sam asks, what do you think are the best and worst site functionality changes YouTube has made over its existence? Well, in 2007, the site didn't work. And people forget about this, but like, the site works now. Yeah, it's very impressive. The player is very good. Players excellent. People forget how good the player is. So good. There are a lot of secret hotkeys, and that's my favorite UX thing. We're like, if you know, you can do a bunch of things. You can go back a frame, or you can go back 10 seconds. You can go back frames. In terms of my least favorite feature, I think it was better. When it was a five-star system. Wow! Well, because then they went to likes and dislikes, and now they got rid of dislikes. I think five stars was the best. Yeah. But I'm old, so of course I think that, and also I wrote a book about the five-star scheme. Was there any time, Jason asks, during Brotherhood 2.0 that you wanted to stop? Yes, like in March, where it still felt like a really long project. But the hard part for me is always imagining the future. That gets really overwhelming. Right. In the present, it was always fun. Jeremiah asks, when is the next X-Jokes in four minutes coming? That's the first minute of Deering of John is for. Yes. That's where I do that now. Jessica asks, who got the play button for Vlogbrothers, or do you take turns? And I do not know the answer to these questions. I don't know where it is. I just looked in the background to see if I have it. I don't think I do. I think it's on the wall at Complexly, Missoula. I remember, I was on a plane when we hit 1 million subscribers. And I remember the feeling, it was incredible. And now I never think about it. Who is your oldest YouTuber friend? Hank. Yes. I feel like Hank and I are really lucky that we have each other, because if we didn't, I wouldn't have a peer. And now I have a colleague. It's very hard to do this on your own. Who understands what it's like from the inside. Robin says, I miss video responses. Do you miss video responses? I miss them now way more than I miss them when they actually got rid of them. Because I feel like they would do better now. Some people forget this, but like video responses were widely misused. Yeah. It's really easy to forget how much we know about those days of YouTube. Thanks for chatting about it with me a little bit. It's been fun. It's been fun mostly. I had a good time. I thought you meant the entire 15 years. Oh no, I meant the last 12 minutes. Thank you to everybody who's been through it, even a little bit of it with us. And John, I'll see you on Tuesday. Yeah. On my computer screen. Yeah, I know. It's sad. I have to poo, so. The Nerdfighteria Census is a yearly, or in this case, because some things came up, a bi-yearly survey that helps us know what we should be thinking about and focusing on and how we should be understanding this community. And it's super valuable for everything that we do together. So please follow the link in the description to fill out the census. It's one of my favorite projects of the year. And I'm so, so, so looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. Thank you again. Link in the doobly-doo.
