    Same. I also found Fred annoying, which I think started around 2006. YouTube itself wasn’t a thing before 2005.

    So millenials started watching YouTube around high school/college age. That’s also when faster internet started to become widespread, so you wouldn’t be getting young kids watching YouTube until much later because young parents were unlikely to be paying a premium for high speed internet. Older kids and college students tend to have less patience for stupid brain rot than younger kids, which was why things like Charlie the Unicorn and Llamas w/ Hats became somewhat popular among those age groups.
