 Good morning, John. We have recently reached a number of milestones here on the Vogue with this channel. We uploaded our 1500th Vlogbrothers video. We got our 3 millionth subscriber, and we're about to upload our 100th episode of Dear Hank and John. As soon as you get back from vacation, no rush. I think this is thus a good moment to take a look back, and I'm gonna do that with the help of the Wayback Machine. This is a product from the Internet Archive. You can look up any website you want to, like go to youtube.com and see what it looked like back in the past. Oh God, it's beautiful. I'll load it up. Wait, wait. I'm a male seeking everyone between eight. Was YouTube a dating site? This feels like information I should have had in my head. This is beautiful, but it's not what we're here to look at today. We're gonna take a look at what youtube.com slash vlogbrothers has looked like, starting with today and moving backwards in time. YouTube has looked pretty much the same for the last, like, three years. I don't super love it. And I think we have to go pretty far back before we see a significant change in YouTube's design. So now we're in 2014. Same thing. Let's check out 2013. Aha! This is new. I remember this. It took quite a long time. And I think I remember being called by YouTube, Cosmic Panda, when it was first launching. It was like, code name Cosmic Panda, the new design is coming. And look at this customization you could do. You, like, all of this is image mapped. But if we continue to go back, back, back in time, we see that we've broken the thing. Oh yeah. I got a new one. Oh yeah. I remember that. I liked this. You could design around it, you know. You knew exactly how it was gonna display. But it's sad that we can't have as much fun as we once had. It's probably 2010 here, back when we had first launched VidCon. Oh yeah. This, this, this. I liked this. I'll see. I remember doing this. Don't know what's happening all here with the blankness, but we've got 344,000 subscribers. We are number 82 most subscribed all time with that number. That's different now. Still pushing the truth or fail. It never worked. It was such a good show. That worked so hard on truth or fail. Oh, it just, it was just, it was destined to fail. Maybe with the new end screens, it could work. I don't, don't do it. All right. Let's go to 2009. All right. Yeah. This one. This one that Shark Eye Jones did. Look at this. This is gorgeous. Doesn't this look better than what it looks like now? One of the short sisters, Monica, now works for VidCon. She's running PodCon right now. August 2009, we have 98,000 subscribers. So we're about to hit 100,000 and look how nice all this looks. I don't know how we ended up with just John's face as our channel icon. All right. We're putting a pop all the way to 2008 now and probably lose this, this cooler design and end up with, yeah, this. Oh God. Edit undo. And then on the sidebar here, you got like comments on the channel. I think that we have like one channel design left before we're out. And here it is. This is the first capture archive.org ever made of Vlogbrothers. We had 9,700 subscribers. This YouTube drama subscribed to Household Hacker. YouTube watchdog has 20 videos removed due to TOS violations. Renato says the YouTube community is on its last breath because of telemarketers. There's been YouTube drama since there has been YouTube. Ms. K. Chief says, so since you have cracked most subscribed, guess you can just stop making videos back in 2007. We thought about it in December of 2007. Absolutely. We said we were going to do it for a year. We'd been doing it for a year. We had 11,000 subscribers. That was super big back then. It's not super big now, but yeah, we decided to keep doing it. It turned out okay. The channel archive.org archive is from December 1st, 2007. So basically there's no record of our YouTube channel for the first 11 months that we did it. But John, if you remember, in the early days, YouTube was not where we like had our main community. We had it at Brotherhood2.com. And if we go back to 2007, I think that we're going to get, oh yeah, we are. Oh yeah, we are. Check it out. Discussion questions. How should Hank take nerdfighters to the next level? How comes horse radish looks like mayo and tastes like poison? We don't do discussion questions anymore. That's fun. What was the first book you ever loved? That's a good one. John, thanks for doing stuff with me. I've been recording for 36 minutes, so there's probably a much longer version of this video over on Hank's channel. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.
