Before you could make a living off Youtube and before the Ad- pocalypses , Youtube was just a site in which to make video's for the sake of simple entertainment. Record your dog doing something funny, tutorial videos, game cheats, simple reviews, and that sort. But there was a genre of Videos that took footage from cartoons and video games and edited in a way that people could make their own unique parodies. Old half baked Video game cartoons, Bad game cut scenes, classic Disney movies, beloved Childhood cartoons, edutainment cartoon's all where used for YTP material. People could make their own stories, parodies, memes, crossovers, music remixes, collab projects, and all sorts of cool stuff. It was a prime time for Youtube. It was just fun to see what some ordinary guy who had footage editing software could put together. Today Youtubes algorithm is terrible with constant let's plays and vlogers, yet YTP's still live on, even in Youtubes darkest time. They maybe weird, surreal and loud at first and you might even find a couple of crappy ones. But know this, These are what once was the cream of the Crop for youtube. YTP is not a trend, not a meme but a genre, and a piece that is very important to the Internets history.

Calliou and Arthur Poops will always be the best and the most funny. Anything else is boring. Although YouTube poops can only be engaging for a day or 2 after that you become uninterested. Nevertheless, when YouTube was good and cool there was a time YTP were very funny to watch. Now, YTP is like a female comedian.

It's appalling enough that IMDb -- ostensibly a MOVIE database -- allows anything from YouTube (and other streaming sites) to have pages on the site, but that's the world we live in, where invariably young people who don't want to get real jobs -- or just don't have them yet -- drink the YT Kool-aid and figure they'll "explode" by "creating" make-up tutorials (just like everybody else), prank videos (just like everybody else), reaction videos (just like everybody else), how-to videos (just like everybody else), video game cheats/playthroughs (just like everybody else) and, at the very bottom of this now galactic-sized sludge pile that is YouTube "original content", mash-ups and comps that take the ACTUAL audio and visual creations (and IP) of LEGITIMATELY talented people and lazily squash them together into deliberately incoherent, tiresomely referential streams-of-consciousness that provide evidence no real skill, lead to ZERO success for the kids who "create" them, and entertain only the similarly addle-minded. Worst of all, this is nothing new; young, bored teens and twenty-somethings were demonstrating their "amazing" bizarre yet associative video and audio editing skills back in the days of VHS TAPE! And just like today's whizzes, reality stepped in and they had to get real jobs.

Not only has modern software rendered it possible -- albeit totally pointless -- for literally ANYONE to make these irksome, indistinguishable and repetitive videos, it's made it possible to do so even faster, and finally YouTube has made it possible for more people from more corners of the world to upload an unending supply of this derivative, time-wasting junk in an era where YouTube's own metrics all but guarantee that NO ONE (thankfully!) is going to make enough money or have enough success to make a living from the site beyond the less-than-one-per-cent of "talent" who were able to develop their cults-of-personality" in the site's early years. and now struggle to maintain upload schedules for their increasingly desperate, irrelevant crap without burning out (which is par for the course now that there's virtually NOTHING NEW at this creative bargain-basement level, and no new "YouTube" stars to be minted). "Hey guys", game over. If you're still making useless content like this, it's time to take stock of your life, and ask why you're not achieving anything of consequence in mom and dad's basement.

Thankfully, YouTube's algorithms are making this kind of "content" a thing of the past, along with many "old school" (LOL) vloggers and "stars" who long ago realized they were forever trapped within YouTube's wasteland, and big business and Hollywood were not knocking down their doors. There's just no point for the next generation to even bother making stuff; it's all be done, especially the kind of material that qualifies as YTP. Trying to do it now results in views in the low double to triple figures, which is a hopeful sign for the future!

Within the next generation, the "old" YouTube -- along with most of the biggest social media sites -- will be looked back upon as a long-lived but ultimately failed fad that, unlike so many before it, brought out the absolute worst in humanity, and very little of the best. And among the most forgotten material if offered the world will be YTP.
