Not proud to say I was pulling for Ed Fucking Sheeran but god damnit he and Despa were humanity's last hope for survival. Using the word humanity loosely though.
It's like an evolution of what the average RUclips user was doing in the platform - In the 2000s, they were watching viral content - In the 2010s, they were essentially putting music on to listen to - In the 2020s, they are putting videos to distract their babies
Neither tablets or smartphones existed, ergo RUclips was mainly used by family men (people of a certain age) instead today RUclips just replaced babysitters, with the spread of tablets and smartphones (this is why this devolution of mainstream content) also because this led RUclips to change its policies by favoring frivolous content and repressing more mature content (at the time there was no type of censorship other than sexual censorship) Today RUclips has only become based on consumerism, yesterday it wasn't like this, you could also find something really interesting there, at the time for example there was all the material released by Assange (which is unthinkable with today's repressive algorithms)
2005 - Normal and meme videos: because YT was used as a social media 2011 - Song videos: YT becomes the "Gen Z MTV". 2021 - Children videos: because of pandemics, when kids no longer went to school and watching YT videos on TV was the only distraction
Funny. You don't think the same principle applied to Gangnam Style or Despacito? Not babies but kids and teens rewatching the same hyped up video over and over and over.
This does actually *really* nicely encapsulate the type of videos that dominated RUclips for certain time periods. Obviously, early on we have individually-produced pieces of content, how the website was always intended before sponsors and corporations (understandably) wanted to take advantage of the platform, thus we give rise to music videos, and then as the Robots began to take over the world with greater and greater ease, even the music videos are infiltrated, and then succumb, to the overwhelming might of kiddie videos with extremely unreasonable numbers attached to them. Shoutouts to Evolution of Dance, man. The fact that, in essence, a completely random talent show clip filmed by a random dude with a camcorder was able to hold the early RUclips crown for so long is just fantastic. I'll miss that level of Internet innocence dearly.

First song to reach 1B: gangnam style from korea Most viewed song: Baby shark from korea Most viewed song in 24hrs: BTS - Butter from korea with 108M views Korea has a huge impact on the musical industry and they are about to set new records for long time.
I'm 57 years old, browsing the WWW since 1995 (with 19200 MODEM at that time) and excepted the first one, I think I've never see a single video in this list
Despacito and Gangnam Style both legend Tracks, annoying Sometimes but Classics. Baby shark Here is the true cancer of a song Here. Or how the Rock would say: It's the biggest piece of dog sh*t (for kids). Lol
I heard that it might get recommended with the Kids music videos. And the reason it wasn't on the list in the 2000s, is because the initial hype around that was in '05 while the official music video was uploaded in '09. By that time people already heard it enough 😂
In the Netherlands Joost Klein (probably one of the hottest artists in NL at the moment) blasts it at each of his concerts. Not sure if he has any reach outside of NL
I have been on RUclips since 2012, and it feels like it "died" in 2022, I miss the old RUclips, where there were fewer restrictions, people made videos for the sake of viewers, not for money, without super video editing, etc. :(
That's why music videos are at the top. People usually don't want to watch a video multiple times, but they do want to listen to the same song multiple times if they like it.
Watching Gangnam Style beat Baby to 1 billion now is almost as satisfying now as it was 12 years ago. I still remember the Beliebers online trying to get him over the line and failing.
Ngl, this is very nostalgic. Lots of people forget RUclips came out in 2004 (Google bought them in 2008 I believe). Many of us millenials were in Jr. High to High school then..... Such a weird time.... ❤
In India, free data from Jio was laucnhed around 2017-2018 and slowly from other providers at much cheaper rate + 2020 Corona lockdown resulting millions of Indians to work from home = Videos for babies and rhymes became the most seen ! The calculation makes perfect sense. Note: I am an Indian.

Thats all low quality.

Its not fair, a kid can hear the same shitty song like 100 times on the same day. Multiply that with all the kids in the world and that is the result
And during the pandemic it was very noticeable that parents used this video a lot with their babies. The numbers speak for themselves.
It's also a sign of kids using electronic devices too much
