The fact that character is never broken once while also not sounding too far fetched or indirectly rubbing "OOoo look its not like our history" into the writing is simply amazing Great work dude
@@RivechaMaybe go into what happened with other more popular online spaces like club penguin, it would be fascinating to see what happened to the various different virtual worlds in this timeline with how you’ve set this up.
Using an iceberg as a framework for alt. history is genius & I'm shocked no one else thought of this. Hope someone picks up the torch and makes more vids set in this reality.
There was someone who did it with Pokemon in a timeline where Gold/Silver were the last games in 1999. Though it was less alt history and more just a Pokemon creepypasta thing.
_"Totally, RUclips has always been shady as hell"_ Ok but for real, this video really feels authentic, the delivery is on point, the historic events are explained in moderation, and the way it pieces the narrative about the life of an alternate RUclips is really cool Big shoutouts, man, this one is insanely creative
This alternative history universe is interesting. I thought it diverged at LOL SUPERMAN’s upload, but no, apparently it diverges back further since the Soviet Union still exists in this timeline post 1991.
You really cooked with this iceberg. Kinda gave me chills from how “real” it sounded. The sponsors, aspects of other alterations added in like the Soviet Union, President Gore, and the Digital Patriot Act.
I've tried brainstorming ways to go about "alternate reality" videos on RUclips, however this idea and format absolutely nails it! Great video for Halloween
I had this video on in the background while working on a project, thinking you were going over "the deep entries" featured on every other iceberg video. I overheard you say "November 9th attacks" and figured it was just an error. And then you casually mentioned President Al Gore's response to lol superman. I had to stop what I was doing for a solid minute just so I could process what was going on. This is one of the best iceberg videos on the entire platform.
I remember watching a youtube series called "skibidi toilet" between 2010-2011, it was fun to watch but it's hated by the Millennials and Gen X. The series was made in an animation software released in 2004. Good old RUclips days!
Crazy how the That Guy With the Glasses site was allowed to stay up due to Doug Walker's close ties with several important senators and representatives at the time. I supported him during his own bid for congressional office, and while I do find him a bit too centrist, I think his voting record while in office was overall good.
so this timeline is basically what if people feared actually happened. Capitol being hit, the internet being more spied on and stricted, youtube getting shut down, theories and unban legends being real. kinda reminds me of scp and mario 64 is personalized videos
This is such a good iceberg video on RUclips. Not only it covers most of the notable stuff from RUclips, but it also covers its entire history from its beginning in 2005 all the way down to its shutdown. It's such a shame that RUclips shut down in 2012, otherwise we all would use it over VidPlaza, Google Video, and Vimeo. Ok but for real, as someone really into alternate history, this is definitely an interesting format for althist videos. I myself were more interested into a more utopian timelines though despite this timeline being much darker with stuff like the PATRIOT act being passed, I do like the premise of RUclips shutting down and stuff getting out of wack ever since.
This is completely Innovative for an iceberg video as it's not only showing the what ifs on RUclips and the errors and their mistakes could've been, but also giving a whole new outlook on what ifs for others platforms too. And not to mention how thankful and appreciative that we still have RUclips to this day after everything that could've happened to the site. I really like this idea and I'm enjoying your videos too and I hope that we can more of alternate history around media as it is really fascinating and interesting to see how every platform and site plays out differently
i like the idea of a youtube channel talking about alternate history as if its actually happening in their timeline or a whole channel dedicated to one alt history (like imagine if there was a youtube channel from someone in the "Player two start" timeline)
i typically passively watch this sort of content and don't comment much,, but WOW i just need to express how incredibly creative and well done this is. great work.
This is a super interesting concept, I’m also assuming that since the Cold War would still be on going that technology is about a decade ahead of what it is now, nice touch
Not sure if you're missed this or I didn't notice it. But I'm sure there should be an entry for "The RUclips HQ incident". A disgruntled vegan RUclipsr after many harsh demonetation entering RUclips HQ and start making chaos with high casualty including The CEO of RUclips and herself. After that, RUclips begin to make choices that will benefit content creators more, unlike RUclips that we know today in our timeline.
Wow! I love this concept! Combining alternate history with an iceberg format, and using that explore not only a different internet but also history and society was a great idea! Keep up the good work my dude! 👍❤️
I really liked the concept of this video, icebergs are a great way to do some world building around an idea like this. It definately has potential to become a genre of videos. Good job
This video inspires me to create an alternate history iceberg essay where Libertarianism and the Austrian School of Economics was more influential. My timeline massively diverges at the 1920s where the Great Depression didn’t happened because the FED didn’t exist and the prohibition on alcohol was never enacted as the USA was more lassiez-faire. And Barry Goldwater is elected as president and is influenced by Ayn Rand, Henry Hazlitt, F.A. Hayek, and Ludwig Von Mises. And this timeline is significantly better in anyway you can think of.
Probably the worst video to be made on RUclips was the Patmat video that tried to link the 1993 Freddy Fazbear shooting, to the event’s of Five Night’s with Chuck E. Cheese, it got so bad that Fazbear entertainment sued Patrick for the video
Oh wow , i did not expect this to be what it turned out to be , i thought it would just another iceberg about obscure yt stuff , but wow , this , this is so refreshing ! This feels like something straight out of a alternate timeline, one that was much darker and worse than our own, but a very interesting one at that , like that november 9th attack, fred being called lukas , etc , idk if this is just a one off thing or that if it's for a series or something , if it's a on gojng thing than that's cool af , but even if it's just a one off thing it still was a breath of fresh air , i really enjoyed watching this and i hope you make more stuff like this in the future, have a good one :>
My uncle made a lot of stuff on RUclips before its shutdown.. he collabed with pewdiepie at some point and they became friends, they still talk to this very day.
36:40 I remember the news calling him a traitor and a Russian spy. I also heard rumors that the Soviet government recruited him to build a AI super weapon or something similar. 2012 was crazy.
You forgot about the #savetf2 thing from 2009. Apparently valve, now owned by activision, were forced to close team fortress 2 servers permanently due to them being too expensive to maintain compared the the player base. There was a dedicated, if small movement, #savetf2 who protested this and demanded rights for private servers, but it was not to be, and on December 23rd of 2009, TF2’s servers shut down for good. It’s a shame that such a unique game only lasted 2 years.

NEXT LEVEL😂 this was fantastic. I miss those old Sean Fujiyoshi "This is how you _" videos from early youtube my favorite was "This is how you Scene Kid" 🤣🤣🤣
I got a whole story about the 09 christmas day hack. The person who hacked the thumbnails was a banned member from the YTP forums known as MeiAIDS. Very few members from the site had contact with them but a handful were informed what they were about to do. Once word got out about the Piano-chan thumbnails, a thread was made on the forum documenting everything being changed. Some thumbnails were changed to Hulk Hogan and John Madden and then, on one of the most viewed videos on youtube at the time, changed the thumbnail to a link to the YTP forum. The thread immediately went from amazement to panic when hundreds of guests started lurking the thread. As someone who witnessed it all happen live, it was generally innocent and probably won't ever happen again, although this individual had a history making YTPs that had a lot of cropped hentai hidden in their videos so thankfully they didn't take it too far.
Basically youtube loses popularity in the mid to late 2010s as the internet becomes more decentralized and community driven Ala old net in reaction to the rise of corporate centralization hold over the internet causing many new events like the earlier rise of indie animation There's also no 11/9 but iraq happens anyway causing anti war movement 2 electric boogaloo and many other wacky events
It would also diverge as far back as manifest destiny as native nations fight back much harder leading to a early "civil war" leading to a lose lose situation as native nations are absorbed into the union but the us government is forced to give them autonomy to the point their far more powerful than mere reservations (basically statehood)
I hate to say this but your sponsor's products aren't exactly the perfect protection from online cognito hazards. Any sort of auditory attack would certainly not be stopped and though they might be uncommon these days, they still happen regularly enough for people to consider getting protective headphones. I myself use a pair that overlays any sounds from my pc with a barely audible white noise. Works for everything online and downloaded.
Haven't watched yet, but if you do more of these, may I propose that the iceberg works backwards? As in the top is the most obscure and the bottom is most well known. That might fit the AU theme more.
(warning, this is very long and will contain spoilers for the video, this is just to clear up the confusion that can be made if you dont know about the original events) i love how some stuff is either altered or alright changed, firstly, it seems like google was never bought by google itself, secondly, lets plays as a whole were just banned because of game creators sueing them for money. secondly and most important is the youtube vs viacom lawsuit that caused it to be shut down all together because of copyrighted works being posted in it. it seems like this universe as a whole might be more advanced as it somehow got voice cloning technology back in 2014, something that in our universe happened 8 years later. the lol superman one seems to be just a jumper video, but it also firstly states that 9/11 happened in 11/9 and that the capital building got hit, that second one is confusing as to how technology itself can be so advanced because even in our universe that event effected a lot of stuff heavily, so that would most likely drive away research from ai. lukas of course is fred, and it seems like he didnt get a movie unlike the one in our universe who sadly did get a movie, now it seems like this version of fred has deeper topics, which is something that is not at all true for our fred. live streaming was an experimental feature back in our universe and got released for some people in 2011, so it seems like youtube itself is advancing in a faster rate in that universe. the algorithm seems to be way more advanced then ours as it took companies a long time to even stand to the level of youtubes ai even though it being shut down in 2012. rickrolling seems to be changed to sandstorming which instead of showing them a video of never gonna give you up they instead they show you sandstorm. alan walker seems to be what kevin macleod was to us, as their songs are copyright free. but the problem is that the first video alan walker posted in our universe is in 2012, the same year youtube shut down in their universe. youtube poops most likely have changed as well since vidplaza has more strict rules then youtube. everything said in the first youtube video section is in fact true the stuff that happened here. it seems like instead of google buying youtube back in 2006, it was the government buying it around 2014, the reasons why they did that are undisclosed though. it seems like cognitohazards are real and are a real active problem in the internet, as multiple incidents happened in the website, including the person in the red room with no eyes. it seems like the name of something was changed to netrunner torso, they never got confrimation that the videos were in fact posted by youtube, that and apparently the last video was also true, which is weird, as the shadow shown is of rick asley dancing which means never gonna give you up is still in this universe. the outcome of i feel fantastic has changed a bit as instead of it being nothing more then a passion project it became a real crime shown on video. it seems like the easter eggs diverge a bit from the easter eggs in our universe, as the nyan cat and doge ones were in fact real easter eggs, but it seems like sandstorm, lukas and username 666 seems to also be easter eggs. the slenderman killer one was most likely a nod on how some icebergs get stuff wrong, and it seems to instead be the jeff the killer killings which did really happen. the founders all seem to have different paths, one dying unlike our universe. it is also shown that the ussr has never collapsed and as shown by the creator itself is in a universe where the soviet universe landed to the moon first. hi walter was also changed into being a real crime documented on video and seems to actually be for someone named walter, unlike the same video in our universe which was found out to be fake. the 2009 chrismas day hack seems to be a real hack that happened. the eye channel was also a real thing, but im pretty sure editing tools were not added into youtube until recently, so its most likely that the technology is more advanced then ours, but with more restrictions causing the government to put your legal identity to stuff so that they can track you. there is no confirmation as if the original username 666 video was posted or not. it also seems like there is theories about username 666 just like in our universe. the polaris paper seems to have the name of another thing called polybius which was an arcade game that made you addicted to it. the papers say that it makes you addicted to the content that you are watching making you interact with it, which is proven by the leaked future of entertainment patents. blankroomsoup.avi was for some reason not altered from the universe we are in at all. active servers is just one of those theory things in icebergs that most likely will not have answers too. hermatruth seems to also be supporting the theory that youtube uses manipulation to make people stay in the site for longer, and for some reason they claim that they use ai voices when ai voices in their universe was released in 2014. youtube cults seem to be two altered things from the universe we are in, one that hates on monkeys for no reason and for some reason elsagate which was changed to arialgate using batman and arial instead of superman and elsa. lost videos seems to also be something people put in icebergs for no reason and will most likely have no answer to. the leaked patents showed plans to get people to engage with the content more, which most likely proves the theory that they use brainwashing so that they can get more views meaning more ad money.
I like the idea at the core, I really do! I think that some entries like blank room soup were pretty redundant and didn’t have much to do with the narrative of the video. I think it would be better if you included more original entries about lost RUclips videos or weird RUclips phenomenon, I get not having a visual aspect to it but that’s okay you don’t need to. I think these alternate videos that Midnight Krick started (he was the first I saw idk if there was another before him) are amazing ways of creating new stories with existing ideas but I think this one needed just some more push away from the familiar to make a good video even better
The fact that character is never broken once while also not sounding too far fetched or indirectly rubbing "OOoo look its not like our history" into the writing is simply amazing

NEXT LEVEL😂 this was fantastic. I miss those old Sean Fujiyoshi "This is how you _" videos from early youtube my favorite was "This is how you Scene Kid" 🤣🤣🤣
Ugh, i hate when dimensional leaks come into our dimension
Friendly presentation, intriguing exploration, highly fitting and impactful twist: "What if the algorythm influenced people harder/AI?"
🔥
this is an absolutely insanr concept snd i want more of it
This is so cool! I love alternate history stuff!
“RUclips walked so that others could run”
Actually cool idea. Great work man.
I got a whole story about the 09 christmas day hack. The person who hacked the thumbnails was a banned member from the YTP forums known as MeiAIDS. Very few members from the site had contact with them but a handful were informed what they were about to do. Once word got out about the Piano-chan thumbnails, a thread was made on the forum documenting everything being changed. Some thumbnails were changed to Hulk Hogan and John Madden and then, on one of the most viewed videos on youtube at the time, changed the thumbnail to a link to the YTP forum. The thread immediately went from amazement to panic when hundreds of guests started lurking the thread. As someone who witnessed it all happen live, it was generally innocent and probably won't ever happen again, although this individual had a history making YTPs that had a lot of cropped hentai hidden in their videos so thankfully they didn't take it too far.
You forgot the reuploads of the videos of the kids at Freddy fazbear’s going missing man they went viral
Honestly this kinda inspired me to make my own timeline like this
Basically youtube loses popularity in the mid to late 2010s as the internet becomes more decentralized and community driven Ala old net in reaction to the rise of corporate centralization hold over the internet causing many new events like the earlier rise of indie animation
There's also no 11/9 but iraq happens anyway causing anti war movement 2 electric boogaloo and many other wacky events
It would also diverge as far back as manifest destiny as native nations fight back much harder leading to a early "civil war" leading to a lose lose situation as native nations are absorbed into the union but the us government is forced to give them autonomy to the point their far more powerful than mere reservations (basically statehood)
This and this comment also gave me my own idea where RUclips almost dies but is saved by yahoo.
Hear me out post this on Spotify shii would go hard listening to while working ngl
my fault gang i kicked a rock while in the ming dynasty
I hate to say this but your sponsor's products aren't exactly the perfect protection from online cognito hazards. Any sort of auditory attack would certainly not be stopped and though they might be uncommon these days, they still happen regularly enough for people to consider getting protective headphones. I myself use a pair that overlays any sounds from my pc with a barely audible white noise. Works for everything online and downloaded.
This is the bad ending for RUclips and the whole internet itself
Haven't watched yet, but if you do more of these, may I propose that the iceberg works backwards? As in the top is the most obscure and the bottom is most well known. That might fit the AU theme more.
Dinner will taste EXTRA scrumptious with this video
wow, this had to be one of the most interesting videos ive seen, you deserve a sub for your effort!
Pour one out for my boy RUclips, gone but not forgotten
I love this concept! Keep it up, man! ❤
Subscribed, make more of these! Love the concept
(warning, this is very long and will contain spoilers for the video, this is just to clear up the confusion that can be made if you dont know about the original events)
i love how some stuff is either altered or alright changed, firstly, it seems like google was never bought by google itself, secondly, lets plays as a whole were just banned because of game creators sueing them for money. secondly and most important is the youtube vs viacom lawsuit that caused it to be shut down all together because of copyrighted works being posted in it. it seems like this universe as a whole might be more advanced as it somehow got voice cloning technology back in 2014, something that in our universe happened 8 years later. the lol superman one seems to be just a jumper video, but it also firstly states that 9/11 happened in 11/9 and that the capital building got hit, that second one is confusing as to how technology itself can be so advanced because even in our universe that event effected a lot of stuff heavily, so that would most likely drive away research from ai. lukas of course is fred, and it seems like he didnt get a movie unlike the one in our universe who sadly did get a movie, now it seems like this version of fred has deeper topics, which is something that is not at all true for our fred. live streaming was an experimental feature back in our universe and got released for some people in 2011, so it seems like youtube itself is advancing in a faster rate in that universe. the algorithm seems to be way more advanced then ours as it took companies a long time to even stand to the level of youtubes ai even though it being shut down in 2012. rickrolling seems to be changed to sandstorming which instead of showing them a video of never gonna give you up they instead they show you sandstorm. alan walker seems to be what kevin macleod was to us, as their songs are copyright free. but the problem is that the first video alan walker posted in our universe is in 2012, the same year youtube shut down in their universe. youtube poops most likely have changed as well since vidplaza has more strict rules then youtube. everything said in the first youtube video section is in fact true the stuff that happened here. it seems like instead of google buying youtube back in 2006, it was the government buying it around 2014, the reasons why they did that are undisclosed though. it seems like cognitohazards are real and are a real active problem in the internet, as multiple incidents happened in the website, including the person in the red room with no eyes. it seems like the name of something was changed to netrunner torso, they never got confrimation that the videos were in fact posted by youtube, that and apparently the last video was also true, which is weird, as the shadow shown is of rick asley dancing which means never gonna give you up is still in this universe. the outcome of i feel fantastic has changed a bit as instead of it being nothing more then a passion project it became a real crime shown on video. it seems like the easter eggs diverge a bit from the easter eggs in our universe, as the nyan cat and doge ones were in fact real easter eggs, but it seems like sandstorm, lukas and username 666 seems to also be easter eggs. the slenderman killer one was most likely a nod on how some icebergs get stuff wrong, and it seems to instead be the jeff the killer killings which did really happen. the founders all seem to have different paths, one dying unlike our universe. it is also shown that the ussr has never collapsed and as shown by the creator itself is in a universe where the soviet universe landed to the moon first. hi walter was also changed into being a real crime documented on video and seems to actually be for someone named walter, unlike the same video in our universe which was found out to be fake. the 2009 chrismas day hack seems to be a real hack that happened. the eye channel was also a real thing, but im pretty sure editing tools were not added into youtube until recently, so its most likely that the technology is more advanced then ours, but with more restrictions causing the government to put your legal identity to stuff so that they can track you. there is no confirmation as if the original username 666 video was posted or not. it also seems like there is theories about username 666 just like in our universe. the polaris paper seems to have the name of another thing called polybius which was an arcade game that made you addicted to it. the papers say that it makes you addicted to the content that you are watching making you interact with it, which is proven by the leaked future of entertainment patents. blankroomsoup.avi was for some reason not altered from the universe we are in at all. active servers is just one of those theory things in icebergs that most likely will not have answers too. hermatruth seems to also be supporting the theory that youtube uses manipulation to make people stay in the site for longer, and for some reason they claim that they use ai voices when ai voices in their universe was released in 2014. youtube cults seem to be two altered things from the universe we are in, one that hates on monkeys for no reason and for some reason elsagate which was changed to arialgate using batman and arial instead of superman and elsa. lost videos seems to also be something people put in icebergs for no reason and will most likely have no answer to. the leaked patents showed plans to get people to engage with the content more, which most likely proves the theory that they use brainwashing so that they can get more views meaning more ad money.
with the voice cloning technology thing, vocaloids have been a thing since 2004
My theory is that due to ussr still existing, the cold war never ended. Prompting up the technological progress.
I like the idea at the core, I really do! I think that some entries like blank room soup were pretty redundant and didn’t have much to do with the narrative of the video. I think it would be better if you included more original entries about lost RUclips videos or weird RUclips phenomenon, I get not having a visual aspect to it but that’s okay you don’t need to. I think these alternate videos that Midnight Krick started (he was the first I saw idk if there was another before him) are amazing ways of creating new stories with existing ideas but I think this one needed just some more push away from the familiar to make a good video even better
November 9th is genius, swapping the dates. It would mean it’s still called 9/11 in Europe? Could be a cool knockon effect
Didn't even catch that! Thanks for your comment
@@thishandleismeta Always remember the 9th of November
Bro used my birthday as a 9/11 insert
What if Al Gore did invent the internet?
in a way, this timeline and our own don't seem all that different 🤔
I love videos and ideas like this I've had some in the past but never got around to making them
