My YouTube Story
Well I heard of YouTube when I was in Middle School when we I was in a special program where where a bunch of computers of our own and one of my class mates showed me ghost videos and jumpscares on YouTube back in the day when YouTube had it's old layout.
YouTube looked cool back in the day
My friend gave me his email so I can make an account myself (I didn't have internet at my place) I kinda remember the password but can't remember his email (also back in the day you can make many accounts under the one email). After I graduated middle school and entering High School my parents got a desk top computer with internet and my mom's friend helped up make email accounts and Facebook accounts as well, With my new email I made an new account for YouTube (if you are wondering what my username was well it was just a bunch of random numbers that I will have to remember in the future) and started favoriting video's. I started adding YouTubers as friends and subing to everyone and got a lot of people thinking me for subing them a and adding them as friends.
Back when no one was that much of a jerk.
I wanted to start making my own videos when I saw people makeing anime music videos with some pop or slowdown love song for two characters in an anime or cartoon.
So I made my own first video which I still have on DVD rom BTW ( my mom like to brag about it at parties or get family meeting and when I meet new people when the subject comes up. "OMG my daughter is soo good a making video slideshows") and was made using crappy Windows Movie Maker, I wasn't aloud to download programs or anything due to my mom worrying about virus's.
I started to make a lot of videos of my own using copyrighted songs ( copyright wasn't that big of an issue back then before Viacom and Google stuff happen) I even took some videos from other channels since I didn't know anything about copyright, I made many other channels besides the main one, I made a weeaboo channel, a Beatles fan channel, and some other stuff too. Soon or later when I heard something about Viacom Lawsuit I really didn't know they where taking down channels soon my channel got taken down when I just uploaded a video to my channel. That also means so did my other channels got taken down for no reason other then they where all under that email I used to my main one. I was disappointed that all my favorite videos that where in my favorite where gone and that I had to look them up again and some of the videos I made also got taken down soo ya.
Nothing like waking up to this in the morning
I then made another email and made a new account and uploaded the video I just uploaded and then with in 20 mins it was deleted my channel was deleted so I made a new email and account did the same thing and I got banned. (I know you's prob thinking I should contacted YouTube for my account but as a teen I thought if I did that I would face legal action so I didn't know anything about fair use.) So I decided to move to another video hosting website since I didn't have any favorite YouTubers or content creators so I just moved else where.
I later found a website called Veoh where I started making videos and meeting awsome people, Veoh was like the old YouTube layout mixed with Myspace's old layout and got an awsome channel look.
This is what it kinda looks like I know it looks like something like YouTube but trust me it it had awsome layout features, this was the only image I could find.
It also had channels and you can add videos to that channel (sorta like TV channels). I added videos which are still up BTW and got some people, I did later made a YouTube account as well as a dailymotion account too just in case I wanted to go back t YouTube. I made some friends and even added one of them to my MSN ( we haven't talked in years and she deleted me on facebook but I do have her abandon Facebook account she has 2 FB account). Soon are a later Veoh change it's platform and instead of it's original videos from it's users it started posting YouTube videos with YouTube's video player. I left it and moved back to YouTube.

I didn't make that much videos as much as I use to since I spent alot of time on chatroom sites like ICQ and others.
The many people who asked me for Cam 2 Cam.
But I did get bored with that and went back on YouTube and started getting in to many other YouTubers and watching many video. I did made videos but there are mostly just still images and nothing more then that I did recently made a ZippCast account and uploaded many videos on there so I don't get slapped with a copyright strike and get my account suspended again.
So anyways that's my YouTube Story but I guess it's more of a YouTube/ Veoh story but I guess call it whatever you want I don't care.
