Believe or not, I watched any kinds of YouTube videos particularly since 2012. Although the ones that I'm watching right now are basically just the ones that resembles to what I usually upload on both of my own YouTube channels that I have, but there were even more of YouTube videos of any kind that I ever watched particularly since then... Without further ado, let me answer them into this sort of frequently asked question essays, ranging from the common ones, until all the way to bunch of those specific ones that are related to both of my own YouTube channels. So, here are my essays particularly about them, right away.
Q : What was your very first YouTube videos that you ever watched in general?
A : My very first YouTube videos that I ever watched were various videos of drum band parades performed by various schools (mainly junior high schools and senior high schools) in Rantepao (North Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia). Those videos were originally recorded specifically several days after our entire country's 62th independence day (August 17th, 2007)... Those were also my very first YouTube videos which I also downloaded them from the internet, and surprisingly I still keep most of them, although those were got deleted from YouTube later on since around a decade ago. 🥁
Q : Did you ever watch that legendary Jawed's "Me at the zoo" video that he uploaded back in 2005?
A : Unfortunately, no I didn't.
Q : How did you able to watch YouTube videos initially in those times specifically from then?
A : I used to watch them casually using a browser on my very first laptop, which I connected to the internet using a (some sort of) painfully slow USB modem that always didn't deliver it's own internet access very well... Even though I also used to have my very first smartphone, but that also wasn't really that reliable to do so, because I always opened the browser instead of the YouTube app itself.
Q : What was your very first YouTube gaming videos that you ever watched in general?
A : If I guessed that right, both of the original game trailers of Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, respectively... That also applied to most of the retro gaming videos too, because the fact I used to play some of those NES or Famicom games on my old Famiclone that I used to own (which the one that I used to have was the one that shaped like original Playstation 1), and so for those of the bootleg Game Boy Advance multicarts that contained hundreds of NES or Famicom games that I also used to play them on my old original Game Boy Advance. 🎮
Q : What was your very first YouTube music videos that you ever watched or listened?
A : This might be a tricky question, but my very first YouTube music videos that I ever watched or listened were various of music covers from one of my favorite dangdut koplo bands in our whole country that were existed in those days (specifically from East Java province), though those videos were deleted due to the obvious copyright infringement... As for any foreign music tracks that I ever listened, those of the 009 Sound System songs were also the inclusions for this too, since I watched many of those electric fan videos, most of the people used to equip random songs from themselves in those days (which YouTube obviously demonetized them anyway, including most of mine as well).🎶
Q : What was your very first YouTube animation videos (of any kind) that you ever watched?
A : Those of the earliest Alan Becker's creations of his famous animated cartoon videos, followed by FunVideoTV's 3D fanmade animation videos of their own Angry Birds stuffs.
Q : What was your very first YouTube channel that you ever subscribed?
A : Rfm vs Games, because the fact I started enjoying Plants vs. Zombies franchise since then, I also decided to watch YouTube videos in it's days by subscribing him thanks to his entertaining contents that were relevant to the aforementioned franchise itself.🎮
Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan video that you ever watched in general?
A : "World's Loudest Ceiling Fan".
Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan videos by some collectors and enthusiasts that you ever watched in general?
A : There were plenty of those that I watched since then, especially that one ceiling fan collection video by a fan collector who used to live in a trailer park filled with themselves... However, certain people such as Vintage Fans & More (formerly known as Cole S.), Dan "Spiffy" Neuman, and Pankaat (that one fan collector from UAE) were the ones that I always recognized the most until today.
Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan videos specifically from your country that wasn't from your own?
A : From what I remembered since then, those of TheeXtremeFanEnthusiast's first electric fan videos that he uploaded in the late of 2013. Not only just that, I also watched bunch of electric fan videos by a guy who lives in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia (unfortunately, his old channel got deleted later on in favor of his current one that exists since few years ago [though some of his friends were able to retrieve some of his old footages of themselves]).
Q : What was your very first YouTube smashing stuff video that you ever watched in general?
A : That one Beno's video of him smashing a desk fan and messing around with it's own 220v/50Hz AC motor that came with it, simple as that.🔨
Q : What was your very first YouTube smashing stuff channels that you ever subscribed?
A : Garret Claridge and Shawn K... For Garret Claridge's case, it's because it was my very first YouTube smashing stuff channel that I ever subscribed thanks to his unique contents of mainly blowing speakers and smashing random items (though most of them were vintage electronics though, so yeah)... Meanwhile, as for the Shawn K's case, I was impressed by the way how he and Matt smashed random electronic items in their own entertaining way which caused I sometimes laughed every single time I watched his destruction videos (though they both also ever destroyed certain random vintage electronic items, especially for that Macintosh Classic II that they both did in 2013, but it's okay I guess).🔨
Q : What was your very first YouTube toy review videos that you ever watched?
A : Probably the reviews of those of the Jazwares sets of the original Plants vs. Zombies mini figure sets (both blister packs and blind bags). Those were existed right when K'NEX mini figure sets of themselves still yet to be existed until roughly around a year later... Not sure for other franchises like Angry Birds though.
Q : What was your very first YouTube bootleg toy review videos that you ever watched?
A : Those reviews of the weird, cheap bootleg Plants vs. Zombies mini figure brick sets, including plenty of those that ripped off their packaging from K'NEX.
Q : What was your very first YouTube device review videos of any kind that you ever watched?
A : I believe it was that Ashens' video of reviewing that exact fake iPhone 4, called "Airphone 4", followed by most of his "Pop Station" mini LCD handheld games that he reviewed too... Bootleg devices aside, I couldn't remember my very first YouTube's official device review videos that I ever watched though (including those that are particularly available from our entire country too).
Q : Apart from electric fans, toys, gaming stuffs, music, marching or drum band stuffs, smashing stuffs, and hardware reviews...... What was your first random YouTube videos that weren't from those of the aforementioned categories that you ever watched?
A : Somewhere around a decade ago, I used to watch various random YouTube videos that weren't from those of the said categories; those were abandoned places videos, random compilation videos, random skit videos, random documentary videos, and so on.
