Eh 2018 and 2019 weren’t that bad. It was just 2017 that was the real let down.

The entire era had a ticking time bomb feel to it. When Trump was elected in 2016, it was pretty much guaranteed catastrophe was going to strike. It was just unknown what form it would take.

People were even more shallow and materialistic than they were in the early to mid 2010s. This era had a resurgence of conservatism and “traditional” ideals which is disgusting. This was a very conformist and backwards time. Obama backlash was huge. This period was all about conservatives dismantling and destroying the progress Obama did. The only good things about the late 2010s was some underground music, very few movies, Nintendo Switch and my personal life from late 2018 and 2019. Mainstream pop culture was horrendous. Do not even get me started on Instagram flexers and the people that rose to fame in this time.
Hopefully 2021 to the present is a recovery from all the mess caused by the late 2010s. Late 2010s seem like yesterday, but I can already sense a backlash against them since the start of 2021 with the inauguration of a Democratic president instead of a Republican president in 2017.

People buying overpriced Supreme shirts just because of the brand. It did feel very backwards, especially when you consider triple-A games like Fortnite having a resurgence in popularity compared to the more indie vibe of the early-mid 2010s. Rich white obnoxious American male YouTubers like Jake and Logan Paul, vs the diversity of YouTube from before. Remember NigaHiga and Jenna Marbles? Those were the days.

I remember hearing a lot about NigaHiga and Jenna Marvles in the early 2010s when I was in middle school. They were really popular with my classmates. Early 2010s was still a part of the classic YouTube era even if the layout changed in 2009 or 2010. The mid 2010s was a transition. The late 2010s to now is the downfall. I fucking hate the Paul brothers with a fucking passion. My goodness! They are the worst YouTubers. They are so cringe. I cannot unhear “It’s Everyday Bro with the Disney Channel flow.” I want to tell them to shut the fuck up and suck Trump’s cock. I buy clothes because I like it, not because of the brand. I do not give a fuck if my clothes are not Gucci, Calvin Klein, Prada or Supreme. My so-called father also has the shallow late 2010s mentality.

Honestly I don't see much of a backlash against the late 2010s yet. Biden barely won and can't get anything done because of Republicans in congress. Republicans in essence have this country held hostage over Covid by refusing to vaccinate, which will prevent the economy from coming back any time soon. Trump is still overwhelmingly popular, despite all of the corruption, crime, completely destroying the U.S. economy, killing over 600,000 people, and leading an insurrection against our country. Republicans are likely to retake Congress next year. Fact of the matter is, half the country wants the future the GOP is selling, and that should terrify us all. I still say V for Vendetta is the best example. The late 2010s will be over when Trumpism is in the past, Covid is in the rear view mirror, and the threat of theocratic dictatorship is over.

The 2009 layout wasn’t anywhere near as drastic as the 2012 or especially 2013 layouts. The 2013 layout had basically no customization whatsoever. Since that was also the year PewDiePie became the most popular YouTuber, I consider that year the start of modern YouTube.

For once, people didn't see him as a Mesiah like they do today. He didn't make reaction videos. The nazi/adpocalypse thing had not happened yet. He wasn't know for cynical/ironic humour and "meme king" status. He was just a Fred (remember him?) Ripoff who happened to play video games with a facecam. 2013 YouTube had way more in common with 2000s YouTube than with 2017-2021 YouTube. I'd say modern YouTube culture started sometime around late 2016. Gameplay videos started losing popularity and reaction/influencer culture took over. Also when right-wing/anti-sjw content started booming. + Let's not forget the adpocalypse of early 2017, that was the very last nail in the coffin for old YouTube.

Don't forget the commentary channels that blew up in 2016. Youtube really did start to have a corporate takeover that year as well.

YouTube still had some optimism in the mid-2010s. I don’t think 2013 YouTube is truly old, nor truly modern. I can see 2016 honestly. That was also the year storytime animators (TheOdd1sOut for example) started blowing up in popularity. You could consider 2012-2015 era YouTube as “mid-period YouTube”, when the old-school vibe ended but the modern vibe hadn’t begun yet.

Classic Youtube died for me in 2013 when Google tried to shove their Google + service by forcing Youtube accounts to be linked to one. That site was born dead from the get-go. The accompanying reaction to this event "Bob is building an army" was equally annoying. 2014-2015 also saw an upstick in general attention-mongering and heavy clickbaiting. Though truly bit the dust in 2016 with the adpocalypse.
