Ive been on youtube since 2009 and it has changed so much in 9 years!!

@MonsterHunterLancer
Pointless argument, as clearly not every single Internet user was on Youtube back in mid 2005 to 2009 and as of now there are triple, if not more, the number of individuals using the internet in general and specifically Youtube unlike many years ago.

And please do not confuse ''The Internet'' with Just Youtube!

WolfDogFilms I started watching it in 2011

I've been browsing these seas of threads and archaic videos since late 2007.
I discovered porn at the age of 6, found youtube at age 7, found enjoyment of offensive content at age 8, discovered エロ同人 at age 10, at the age of 12 - made the horrible decision of watching 2girls1cup and 僕のピコ.
As you could, a 7 year old who couldn't read English or kanji infused sentences couldn't possibly figure out how to make an account. (2017)

I've been lurking on yt since early 2008 until I created my channel in 2017. Back then, internet was a "secret world" and not a part of society.

Listen Buddy, it was. yt was wild back then. tons of fun shit like ytps and random videos (also eddsworld was active), albeit in low quality.<br>unfortunately, annoying orange, fred and other obnoxious youtubers were prevalent, but it didn't matter much since they didn't pop up often (for me at least).

I wish I was on YouTube in 2009, it seems like it was so fuckin lit

Yep my first ever YouTube channel is called Rainbowlevelcrossing my first ever video was uploaded. On May 20th 2015

WolfDogFilms Me too. I'm so sorry the world decided to turn on veterans like us. We don't matter anymore.


I NEED VIDEOS WITH THE MEI AIDS THUMBNAILS


I love how this is worded like a fallout 1 NPC  dialogue


4:30 RIP kitty0706, he inspired me to do a lot of things. I miss you, good friend...


I miss MeiAIDS, it's fucked cause this shit feels like yesterday. Also people did say 'cancer' back then, it was reserved to 4chan and "the cancer killing /b/" etc. but in the YouTube Poop community AIDS referred to like CDi poops and shit like that


What if everyone here are just alternate accounts that mei created?


Here's a theory, MeAids was behind YouTube Wake Up


>AIDS instead of Cancer<br>God, it felt like an eternity when i first heard it

To see an Archfiend video lul shown anywhere is a miracle.


I love all of the tf2 details sprinkled in your videos. Like the music in this one.


One of the thumbnails is still up today, on mcmangos channel the hulk hogan one


1:03 Demon Days is the perfect way to start any video.

Hello internet and welcome to Behind The Meme!


That Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor pfp makes it hard to take them seriously


Sooooooooo...meiaids is basically the youtuber persona version of popbob on 2b2t.


MeiAIDS just wants to live a quiet life. However, his Second Coming will be what saves Youtube!


Edited like a YouTube poop? I'd say these videos are edited like a bill nye episode


I wish I was born earlier I was around 2009 but was too young and didn’t even have a phone


I hope he returns, 4chan will love him now that politics has taken over the media

Mei doesn't care about silly 4Chan /pol/ tier memes thankfully.


MeiAIDS, the worlds greatest online lone espionage hacker


Damn, RIP kitty0706 may you live on in your videos.


a youtuber called "la galera" copied your video but in spanish


Youtube is a trend, in 5-10 years when it dies down we can have it back


9:31 thats a little oopsie we had there in the gramphics


Wasn't Imaperson an impersonator of this guy? I know he used many of the same sources.


4:31 Goddamnit now you reminded me of Kitty. I miss him so much.


this is ten years old this month. What an anniversary


Fuck I remember watching the YouTube got hacked thing when I was 8


4:31 I really wanna see the original video for that one cuz of Kitty


Why have I only just realised that Fred looks like Jonny from Friday night dinner?


Interesting time, I watched TYPs during this time but the only ones I watched were Naruto and DBZ YTps


Supertwister by Camel is the ending song, in case anyone wants to know.


Let's do the hack again. but with the demonetization sign.


also a goat using mythical powers to know how to be a cursed finnish ritual, isn't this sick or what


Fuckin uncanny. Not the things he did, but I have the same exact taste as him when it comes to characters. Out of the like 3 people that want to fuck Mei the goat, the characters from My Melody, and other furry characters I saw from reuploads, MeiAIDS was the one person that made piano-chan public to hundreds of thousands to millions of people. The weird thing is that, no joke, I feel it is my duty to do the same. I wonder how I can get Piano-chan's name set in history. Not just "this is a thing that happened" history like Mei here, but bigger. Hopefully positively too.


Despacito was hacked earlier this year. The thumbnail was changed to a picture from Money Heist, which is a Spanish crime show- it was a bunch of guys in masks and prison jumpsuits pointing guns at the camera. Other Vevo songs were hacked and their titles were replaced with “free Palestine” and the names of the hackers; those being Prosox and Kuroi’sh.

So, these guys did one-up MeiAIDS- Despacito is the single most viewed video, at over 5 billion views(it was hacked around the time it reached 5 billion), and VEVO channels are very big.


Alright Keks, GET ON THIS! We need a youtube hack 2.0!<br>and more pics of spiderman!

Alright Keks, GET ON THIS! We need a youtube hack 2.0!

Legend says it MeiAIDS is making Minecraft videos now...


Oh my god seeing that kassem G thumbnail unlocked some deep memories


MeiAIDS is somewhere out there in the galaxy


I always pause the video and look shit up like you're not gonna tell me the whole story in the next 10 seconds


I aspire to achieve this level of troll.


Lol I remember this-<br>I was wondering why Walrus Guy's one video had that as the thumbnail-

I made a playlist of music that EmpLemon used in the video.  This is based off of the Pastebin link in the description.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMnPi2j2DFRbzhgqideeQ6sYdUvNrLL8S


Mei had a Kaiji profile picture, so uh... Great


Oh, Em... Youtuber La Galera stole all of this! ...unless they had permission, I dunno.


4:31, it makes my cry to see that name again.


You were supposed to destroy the YouTube not join them! Bring balance to the internet not destroy it!


<b>Was MeiAIDS responsible for Youtube crashing last night on 10/16/18?</b>

This might be that lost video, its been popping up if you look up meiaids.

Anime porn? Okay. Furry porn? Whatever floats your boat. Anime furry porn?

That’s one step too far, lad

that piano-chan thumbnail along with the title baffled me for a second


flashback to OurMine

Yeah, that comment didn’t age too well, about a hack that large not happening again.

If Jesus was god's son

MeiAIDs is the son of Kek himself


You should do one of these on the late legend Kortez3000.


1:02 hey, that's the intro to Demon Days playing!


Hollup MeiAIDS is from Finland holy shit.


If wish to know the name of the song played at 8:00 is Nuclear Flash. Amazing video as always


Oh no, if he was chaotic evil, then he WOULD have replaced the thumbnails with gore and pornography instead of an annoying pink lamb.


He’s still around you know, it could be an imposter- but he has a shitposting channel


We need 4 Chan to repeat history, and change the thumbnails


MeiAIDS, the troll to rule them... oll.<br>i don’t know.

MeiAIDS, the troll to rule them... oll.

Haitian fight song by Charles mingus? I fucking love it


the characters in those thumbnails are not just my melody but piano-chan and possibly flat-kun from onegai my melody.


have you heard the tragedy of meiAIDS the shitposter? ah it is not a story youtube will tell you it's a ytp legend.


4:30 hold up, kitty0706? Colin knew about this guy? I mean I guess the early internet was a small place but wow, he sure was active back then

MeiAIDS Memorial I’ll be sure to check it out


He could even be in this very comment section right now.


We need a website that replicates the old YouTube the wild west frontier of YouTube back in the early to late 2000s

that exists but servers were overrun after nfkers made a video on it, now it takes 5 days to upload a 5 second video


I didn’t read the title and thought that this was an anime episode


Does anyone remember SpingeBill learns the Dark Arts of the Kristen’s Krab


Nice use of the intro track from Demon Days :)


I have a theory.
EMPLEMON IS MEIAIDS!

(Only kidding but you have to admit that would be ironic)

MeiAids could be anyone
MeiAids could be your neighbor
MeiAids could be your dad
MeiAids could be me

MeiAids could be you

SamTheFallenSon 69 yeah I know...<br>This comment isn't supposed to be serious lmao

If he is, then I can only imagine what your other AIDS are like..


We could use him in the fallout community


some men don't want anything like revenue or attention. they can't be censored, copy struck, or terminated .some went just want to watch youtube burn.


6:16 This is so sad, Alexa show us the top 5 websites


Oh god stop take me back to 2004 take me back to ronold McDonald insanity take me back to new grounds to Sparta feels like over 9000 years ago now

MeisGotAids I know it’s 2008 but gotta start way back at the beginning

Harry Senior >Ronald McDonald Insanity
>2004
lol

Ronald Mcdonald Insanity needs a comeback! If it wasn't for the Japanese Ronald remixes I wouldn't have discovered Touhou in the first place.


THIS IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST. AAAAAAAAA. CHARLES TRIPPY. WHAT THE BUCK. <br>DAMN NIGGA. I remember watching them along with Philip DeFranco at the time. Good times. I remember when that happened, it was amazing. I remember being a scared little kid and wondering if I got hacked too.

Imagine if someone in 2018 hacks youtube and replaces the thumbnails from popular youtubers with shitposts. Like every thumbnail you see is "H"


Incase pastebin goes down, the music:
Keith Mansfield - Morning Broadway
Gorillaz - Intro
Charles Mingus - II B.S.
Magnum Force Theme

No that is exactly how it is as I am MeiAIDS (as well).

The goat is also from an anime movie called Arashi No Yoru ni

It was a YTP Fad, and Imaperson never made it a secret of being inspired by MeiAIDS' Style.


Man I'd love to see tha guy today do that again


man este es como el cuarto resultado, no podia rebuscar un poco mas aunque sea?


9:45 well i mean there already IS somewhat pornographic imagery on family friendly animated videos sometimes


basically the best we do a little trolling personified example

Joel Fulker That's just rude. Robotnik doesn't deserve this slander. He deserves a P-rrromotion.

GAMP: Sicker than your average kigger nilller

A candid shot of him in his trailer without his makeup on.


MeiAIDS is (still) now in another dimension with me by her side, most likely in Afghanistan. :)


I think he contacted me recently but I am not sure if it is him. Check out his videos and tell me what you think:
https://www.youtube.com/user/MeiAylds/videos

Look at his latest videos and compare it to his older ones. The style of ear rape is exactly the same.


Mei Aids reminds me a bit of awful fawful.


What if Mei came back as both Justin Y and StickMaster500?


4:40 The Meitrix: Reloaded

I will never be sorry.


I bet Mei actually runs Logan and Jake Paul's accounts


everybody gangsta till the next internet supervillain shows up


I subscribe for good content.

Maybe MeiAids isn't gone... maybe MeiAids is... EmpLemon?

I think I saw a reference to MeiAIDS in a YTP a long time ago, and I didn't really think much of it at the time. I think it was from CommanderGwonam, or another one of those early YTPers who have had their accounts removed a bunch of times since.<br>I gotta find it again now...

There's a MeiAIDS in a Deepercutt YTP, a Megaman one


Kitty0706? You did good son, real good! Maybe even the best.


YouTube is starting to kill YouTube poops all of a sudden. Cs188’s best poops are starting to get copyright strikes and he’s having to take them down. The more YouTube becomes a business the more they’re going to try to get rid of the YouTube poop community (probably getting confused with family content now.).

JakeSpacePirate E I meant to tell you there is a reupload

Hypernova2k 2.0 Cs188 deserves better!! Hopefully we can get a re-upload soon.

JakeSpacePirate E Pride patties got taken down . 12 million views as well. I don’t know if it was for copyright though .


Guess he was the Zodiac Killer of YouTube


i only clicked on this because i saw piano chan as the thumbnail and i was hoping it would be about her for some reason lol


This looks like the downwards spiral 2:05


Well I have no idea how to link you directly to the comment, so I can only advise to keep scrolling until you find it. Remember, his account that he commented with on this video is MeiFinnishGoat.

TackyWhale I can't find his comment anywhere. Did he delete it?

but is it really him?<br>the world mei never know

but is it really him?
the world mei never know

He just replied in this comment section as Meifinnishgoat!

The rEactor probably hiding out among us and watching the years go by, he could even be watching this very video and hell, maybe seeing this very comment, but who knows


Seeing those kitty0706 comments made me laugh in sadness

4:32 R.I.P kitty0706 (he died of leukemia in 2014)


MeiAIDS is the gordon freeman of youtube


Huh, so the rumor are true. Algorithm started recommending old videos


I caught Light Yagami in the MLG collage.


I heard there’s aids in this comment section

Was the internet ever REALLY good? I know everybody remembers this year's as "the good old days", but we're they any better that today? Maybe the cringe was more bearable or less mainstream, maybe some other pointless explanation but in the end, it's something to think about.


if youtube got hacked today, everyone would get ransomware


It would be such a big plot twist if Justin Y was MeiAIDS all along.


Cue the enigmatic Doors music!<br>Oh wait...

It happened again but with music channels instead

What's the name of the headline news? I can't find it anywhere


That pink sheep thumbnail looks very familiar, but I never knew there was a story like this behind it.


so, basically mai is a true blue sociopath


I really miss those Mario Newgrounds videos


Arashi No Yoru Ni translates to "Stormy Night"

he admires trump for making it to the white house with no real political qualifications that's it. he stated it was not a political video.

I see Youtube isn't the only thing that has changed these last 10 years.

But EmpLemon likes the Youtube that isn't a corporate machine that has to listen to their corporate overlords. He likes the free youtube, free from financial chains. How is he right wing?

its hilarious he has a fukomoto profile picture


MeiAids please reply to this comment if you are still alive out there


Omg in the beginning you used the song "intro" by gorillaz from the album demon days...and didn't credit it...


Justin Y is a close second on the mysterious peoples list


The song at 1:06 is Intro - Demon Days - Gorillaz


F..k it's so weird hearing 2009 being talked about like it's a completely different time. It feels like only yesterday for me.


He was there and he wasn't there at the same time.


Literally obly clicked because of My Sweet Piano


sssooooooo .....MeiAIDS  is a chaos god then??


He chould be any one of us(tf2 spy refrence)


I noticed a Gorillaz intro I'd the intro, I like this more now


Damn...kitty0706 had somethin to say about him


Ima gonna fire mah laser... <br>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Ima gonna fire mah laser...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH


His profile pic is either from Akagi or Kaiji and it’s bothering me since I can’t recognize the character.

You might already know this by now, but it's Kazuya Hyōdō, son of Kazutaka Hyōdō and the main antagonist of Kaiji parts 4 and 5.


4:30 its weird to see good ol kitty comment like that

its not like you fuckin know him or anything


My Melo is a pink-anime goat... Aight m8


Jeff The meme guy <br>What is your idea?

Please make every thumbnail Mr. Dink, please and thank you jesus

That is a terribly charismatic duck! Hmm, that gives me an idea...

If you actually do it, I'll give u free robux


Atleast he got immortalized as an overwatch hero


Guys, MeiAids died of a heroin overdose a few years ago.


He will come back and copy right this video lol


And it made me feel so alone on this 15-hour drive

They keep playing sad songs on the radio


because the thumbnail is a pink goat its his fault............. Sadge


Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar....


Is that gorillaz I heard near the start my guy? Didn’t expect you of all people to enjoy some gorillaz


1:00 to 1:20 is that the gorillaz feel good inc intro?


Mabey he is Justin Y and now he even went out of Justin Y.


Is that Supertwister by Camel at the end?


No one gonna mention the intro track from Demon Days by Gorillaz 0:59


Quick everyone change their profile pictures to pink anime goats and flood the normies' recommendations


4:32 wait...what? kitty0706? No fucking way


You ever think maybe MeiAIDS is watching this? Maybe ADHDYoshi?

That’s pretty interesting, does he know anything about MeiAIDS?

ADHDYoshi is. I'm in contact with him on Discord.


Anime is not degernerate, the people who love it are!


What's the sauce on the 'anime furry' girl? Looks familiar but I cant place it offhand.

Mei, the world needs you, YT is no longer a place to broadcast yourself, it's an abusive platform that steamrolls their userbase every time they can, the YouTube community needs a hero.

Er gahd yeffz
Stop rhayping anthrowz

I JK - kind of

No fuckin way! It’s really the big man!!!

Ay mei if you don’t know you were re validated on chew wiki they added something to the archive emp mentions

this is probably a fan account by someone in the ytp community

heres media of the hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ne2k2k-6pY


Are you living with Apandah? Both of you guys uploading coincidentally near the same time.


@Or4ANGEpm well I made that comment 2 years ago now so i don't even agree with it anymore tbh. I think before 2005 is early internet, before everything started to really explode

@LimePesto Hardly. I call those times ''already too late'' considering 2009-2010 is where everything went downhill.

Well it's gonna be over time... but at the same time this video is gonna be like a VHS predicting the future

Or4ANGEpm well the late 2000’s is pretty early in internet history.

For whatever reason people often mistake ''early Youtube'' with early Internet nowadays.

Kinda carbon copy of pretty good by Jon bois


Did anyone else see the yt called "Squidward is scared of pingas" wherein Spongebob and Patrick get a box and make war noises from it?<br>I can't seem to find it anymore. So if anyone has a link to it, it'd be much appreciated... Not thay I have anything to reward with

2009: MeiAids
2018: MeiCancer -> Sued by Blizzard


It seems like he's active on Twitter, but it may be a fan account or a troll.

Nah, the DeviantArt guy is not the Twitter guy.


Show this to hacker giraffe he's goint to change thumbnails to "SUBSCRIBE TO PEWDIEPIE."


you still didn't say who <b>4chan</b> is


Zapples The jojo comment shitposter/inkling  Maybe never. Maybe right now


He might even be Justin Y... or PewDiePie... maybe even Logan or Jake (maybe even both)... maybe HowToBasic... or even Vsauce... or Trump... or EmperorLemon


This was a very well made video, with a very interesting topic. Keep it up, Lemon!


I completely forgot this happened but now I remember, I figured it was just a fad back in the day but then people on youchew poop starting talking about it and it blew my 13 year old mind. At first I thought people were trolling but once I saw big youtubers having these thumbnails I knew it was legit. Thanks for the blast to the past emp.


This isvery well made. I always admire the editing skills of youtube poopers.


This series is fascinating and I hope to see more of it


Also, I love that comparison about internet events fading into a dream like haze. There's something haunting and interesting about that. Like some kind of digital fever dream.


This is truly legendary and it makes me feel like as if I lost a comrade


That was a very enjoyable video, even though I never even heard about the maiAIDS hack.


Damn, this is pretty trippy honestly. I hope this vid blows up in some way (a good way), this was interesting as hell! And I'm glad I know about that Pink Goat instance now, I only saw it once in my life but it stuck with me since for whatever reason.


While I think that that this was an amazing hack, I'd disagree that this was the biggest hack. I remember hacks involving people like Pewdiepie getting his banner taken down for some MSPaint sewage, but then the official Sesame Street one getting hijacked and uploaded with porn was another one.


I feel Mei is still here, and he is probably glad you made this


rip MeiAIDS you will never be forgotten by the YouTube community you will remain a legend for all to see.


Imagine one year later (which would be 10 years after that hack) Mei came back in the most memetastic way. Like maybe another hack, but this time it could be porn, or maybe just coming back to do more ytps


It's so cool to look at the past and see what it was really like back then


One day you’ll be famous for this internet history examination and study, I commend you for your work, good sir!


I hope Mei finds this video and takes up the challenge to redo his thumbnail hacks


mei the not so hero we never asked for <br>but the one we need in this day and age of youtube

mei the not so hero we never asked for
but the one we need in this day and age of youtube


I remember it well, and I wasn't even in the YTP community. I had a YTP account long ago with very few videos, but I wasn't very popular. I was 15 at the time, and I thought the world was going to end or some shit like that. Remembering things from one's youth is weird sometimes.


Me and Mei would get along well

And we need another thing like this nowadays

Oh and if Mei is watching than I hope he is proud (he should be)


This was a very interesting video to watch. I may sound crazy but I kinda recall some video thumbnails being replaced with piano- chan but I never bat a eye since I was a dumb 9 year old and youtube was already pretty weird so it was normal for me.


lol i remember when this happened. me and my friends were just laughing our asses off, we were so confused. i remember tearing my hair out trying to find out who that anime character was because she looked so cute. also, FRED? nostalgia blast!


Truly a legend, to come so far just so you can throw it all away for no gain. Such is the life of a shitposter.


Time after YTP. The next thing I noticed that carried a similar spirit were GMOD videos (i.e. idiot box)
After that, the next thing that comes to mind is mlg shit. Shot itself in the foot for restricting itself.
I don't know what trend there is now. I found out about smexuals half a year ago though. Think they started earlier though
I'd like to see you do a mini-documentary on this progression of autistic video edits. :)


I like these kinds of videos, goes back to when I first found YTPs when I was like 8 lol.


Man I remember back when I was super young and I'd watch a ton of YouTube poops. There was this one channel in particular who's name I forgot that me and my brothers always watched. I'll try to find his username and some of his old videos, but I won't be suprised if I can't find anything.

I found the channel, it's actually a few channels named 95shade. There's multiple channels because each one was a season.


You know what I find weird about this?  I think he actually subscribed to ME before he disappeared!

I remember seeing a name like this with the channel and some videos on it having those goats.  I also saw the name on copyright claims on videos I saw. (Ex.: Claims on videos from LieutenantGWO)


Nostalgia facts and more. Love it my dude


I actually found what I think might be a MeiAIDS channel that's still active.


I remember seeing those pink sheep thumbnails in 2009! I thought they were just clickbait videos or some weird trend! It was a simpler time for YouTube back then!


God damn, I actually remember that pink goat cropped up on a few videos. So that was why WalrusGuys thumbnail got changed to that one anime goat. I wasn't as invested in anything past YTPs, and even then, like you said in the video, I thought next to nothing of it. This shit's fucking blowing my mind.


I love the use of the intro to demo days, good stuff


Fellas, we gotta get Mei back, he can save us


God YouTube needs another hack like this


As if these "family friendly" content providers haven't provided us w/ what seems to be softcore.


YouTube must be returned to what I remember it once was


I actually remember this happening to WalrusGuy's videos<br>Damn, it's been a while

I actually remember this happening to WalrusGuy's videos
Damn, it's been a while


Hank of the Hill will go down as one of the greatest ytps of all time.


I've got to appreciate his taste on anime


So what your saying is that mei could still be here? Watching, waiting, and plotting.


10:56 Holy shit, that's a name I haven't heard in a long ass time.


One group did hack a bunch of Youtubers in 2017 and changed the titles of their videos but that was supposedly "white hat." (They weren't hired by Youtube, so would that make them grey hat? I don't the terminology very well)


I really miss weegee he was a good meme.


Mei returning is like the second coming of jesus


Maybe it's because I'm drunk but your visual representation of the internet actually confused the fuck out of me. Great video, though.


We need to summon the shitpost lord MeiAIDS before YouTube turns full dystopia for actual good content


I was a Memer, then a normie (oh god) and now am an Outsider.


youtube poop, those were the days. even though i was 11 and most of the jokes went over my head i thought they were really fucking funny.


the one thing that would be cool would be if he's hiding among us now, planning his return.


What about when that quirky group of hackers, I think they wre called something like Pink Poodle, hacked into some popular satire channels and renamed a load of videos?

nah only leafy. i think he paid them off tho. still trying to find that song from the hacked video.

They were called Poodle Corp and I remember they hacked Leafy but I don't remember anyone else getting hacked


I found something interesting: https://www.youtube.com/user/MeiAylds
Does the legendary Mei live on? Or is this just a wannabe troll following in his footsteps?


It seems that emp has made a ytp conspiracy theory series like game theory


4:31

Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.


Mei shall return one day... <br>One day...


too bad i was only 7 years old at the time there are a lot of things i've missed


How about we hack youtube and change all thumbnails to "Youtube is Broken: Boycot!"


Do you guys think MeiAids is responsible for the "Who Created Kirby" incident on Google?


Take me back. Back when things were right...


Man, it would really suck if MeiAids was in the comment section, wouldn't it Lads?


4:17 why did you put THAT chair shot by sting? Its his most infamous botch 😂😂😂


You know I want to make a new account named Meiaids


too busy watching early minecraft before it became a cesspool of cancer and minecon memes and ytps never seen mei's work


The MeiAids hack is YouTube’s version of the Portuguese All Saint’s Earthquake


I might recall seeing such thumbnails. I'm not entirely sure. Maybe not.


MeiAIDS, please if you are watching this or reading this, you have to pull off one last hack, one last score, because if you screwed up Youtube's thumbnails again, but with something NSFW, you would fuck up Youtube and take down cancerous channels like Logan Paul. Please.


If you've went this deep into the comments, that means you're also looking for some kind of hint. Haven't found anything yet myself, but who knows. <br>Keep going.

Keep going.


I’m amazed I never noticed this back in the day. I was a pretty clueless little shit I suppose ha.


Oh damn grandpa lemons gonna tell us of his days of shitposting and creepy luigis😭🙏


now that you made this video its gonna happen again


4:30 NOOOOO!!!! THE TEARS! NOT AGAIN!!!!


Have you heard the Tragedy of MeiAids the Trickster?


Back in 2009, it was also common to use the fucking girl from the Exorcist as a cheap jumpscare at random moments.


What if MeiAIDS was an omnipresent being akin to God who was trying to warn us about how shitty this website was going to become?


Help us meiAIDS. We need something like this again. Plus I want  to see Logan Paul get hacked because that'd be pretty neat.


Is that the Demon Days orchestral intro? FUCK I LOVE YOU MORE NOW!


Cmonn Mei.. hack once more! This time change them to catholic Marios or some other Asian guy.


MeiAids? Why reapeating the same word 2 times in the nickname?


Oh I remember those pink goats in a few YTPs at the time I never knew what it was lol


Yes....... Imagine if someone DID get to the big mainstream youtubers....... Hmmmmmm.....


i was drawn here because of Piano in the thumbnail. Also Piano is a sheep(beep beep). Kill me I might be a furry.


Dear Emp, please make a video about LinkOnDrugs.


That little titbit of info at the end... If that were done nowadays, would it be possible to try and snatch this guys attention again?


Back in 2009 when Bitcoin cost this:

$0.10

Back in 2009 when Bitcoin cost this:

*$0.10*


4:31
THE Kitty 706 said that? Holy shit mate


The prophecy speaks... That he will return one day.


Oh I just noticed that the first part of the video has the intro for Demon Days


Kuromi's gonna beat the shit out of Piano


4:30 RIP kitty0706. RIP him and the mid-late 2000'


You know what, this also gave me a idea ;)


MeiAIDS more like Meik fry dory (Its a joke BTW)


Emp lemon please stop talking about "le good ole days" all the fucking time


4:33 Oh my God...it’s Jack The Ripper all over again.

Jack The Spammer. Heh.


MRIAIDS WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!  oh if only if you were here to help us and 4chan.


mei is back just rarely uploading on a new account

MeiFinnishGoat is not the real MeiAIDS, just the biggest Fan-Supporter!


10:50 is that the door's Alabama song in the background?


Searching comments for "challenge accepted": no matches... you disappoint me now internet


I now want to hack youtube to make people triggered


Oh god you gave me sad memories of kitty0706 now


my dissapointment is immesurable and my day ruined


wait MeiAids is WalrusGuy? <br>is that really true?

wait MeiAids is WalrusGuy?
is that really true?


but what if you are MEIAIDS <b>plays dramatic bum bum bummmmmm in the backround</b>

but what if you are MEIAIDS *plays dramatic bum bum bummmmmm in the backround*


And it made me feel so alone on this 15-hour drive

They keep playing sad songs on the radio


Roberto Brasero what happened to him? Did he die?


Процессорный кристал


Pleas do a video about epicsidekick and his channel


Really? Not Meids or something like that? Ok.


and that's because YouTube doesn't register a view as a view unless one has watched at least half of the video


Are you going to make Finding Uncredibles II


hes just a mainstream content farmer whose audience is 12 year olds.

I feel bad cuz memes have went mainstream now.


English YTP may be dead, but German YTP (YTK) has never been more popular.


Drama is the worst thing to happen to this platform.


@spark it always gets better, what always helps me is going for a walk and complaining about the weather to myself lol.


Who is the Pink sheep? she looks cute. X3


I was only just notified of this video today wtf

This is amazing, I feel like my slightly paying attention to ytp lore over the last few years have finally payed off. Thank you for making me sure that my slight attention to detail would have a reward. You are my favorite YouTuber and I hear you. Thank you for your content.


Thank you for this well researched and entertaining blast from the past, EmperorLemon!


i have to say, ive been watching your videos for years now and the quality is fantastic right now. youve imoroved as an editor like theres no tomorrow. everything links uo nicely and is done so well. Keep it up, brodie.


I never really expected to be learning anything about a website like Youtube, but you manage to make this series actually interesting. Good job, Emplemon. You've managed to find a unique and quite fitting content niche for your audience.


I really enjoy the longer videos. There well edited and have intresting view points. Keep up the great work.


This was a very interesting episode. It is kind of cool all the things that happened on YouTube that I missed growing up


I would like to see more YouTube Geographics, the series is actually quite interesting. :)


Hero’s always get remembered but you know legends never die.


Excellent content, as usual! Im always excited to see a new EmpLemon video in my notifications!


This is fascinating! I can't wait for the next episode. <br>Thanks!

This is fascinating! I can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks!


"AIDS".
I remember a minuscule piece of these days. I was still a little kid at the time, so I was too busy FIRIN MAH LAZOR and singing along to the troll theme to care about youtube hacks and pink goats. Dunno how I should feel about that. Good that I missed an event like that? Or bad for that same reason?
On the topic of modern YT, the point presented about the whole youtube drama thing was actually kind of scary to think about in a crude sense. I hadn't realized just how huge of a change it actually was, since I tend to gravitate towards the less-popular channels of these older times - things of a YTP / animation bend.
The more I think about the big-name mainstream YT members like Logan Paul and such, the more I want to take Fred over what we have today. I've hit the official "fuck it" point, where the magnitude of my disgruntled mood has hit the point where I just can't care anymore. :(

meh. so long as I stay here we'll be good. the essence of the downward spiral will grant me blissful ignorance to the mainstream piece of youtube.


I definitely remember this happening and, atleast at the time, it was big news.


I remember that pink goat but did not think anything of it. I can not believe that brief memory in the back of my mind was actually a big deal.<br>I wish we had more YouTube historians like you, Emp!

ah, i remember the glory days... i wish ytp was still as big as it used to be.


MeiAids reached nirvana after trolling the YTP community so hard, so he transcended both time and space thus becoming a being of pure light energy.


I joined YouTube in 2009, and I never heard of this. Thanks for sharing.


I never realized youtube is so much like real life history with folklore, legends, eras, outaws, and artifacts.


MeiAIDS sounds legendary, I missed this stuff by a year.


I never knew about this. It's interesting to see how much the internet and Youtube has changed in less than a decade.


The time Mei hacked YouTube was in that era in which you could make the joke that girls didn't go on the Internet and actually have some truth to it.


I can only imagine someone coming to continue the legacy as someone else, and also what ever happened to custom YouTube channel backgrounds, if you know what I'm talking about.


Guy makes a meiaids memorial channel

The real meiaids makes 3 fake accounts to copyright/suspend the channel, then leaves

This dude's a fucking legend.


Gotta admit, this was an interesting video. At least after watching it did I ever got an explanation on WalrusGuy's thumbnail at 10:51.


I was really young when this happened, but i do remember the name. I didn't watch any of his vids, but i know i heard MeiAIDs before


The absolute madman.<br>Also love the use of the Flash Man remix partly through the vid lmao

The absolute madman.
Also love the use of the Flash Man remix partly through the vid lmao


that man was the one true shitposter, and he will be remembered for all youtube eternity.


Wow... This is interesting :D <br>I guess I wasn't really into YouTube at that time

Wow... This is interesting :D
I guess I wasn't really into YouTube at that time


Quality content, too bad you barely ever upload. At the rate of decay memes experience nowadays, we should get a 60 second meme vid every week


Oh shit, this explains a lot about the pink anime goat!!! I too didn't think much of it and went on about my memey ass day with the poops! Thank you Mr. EmpLemon!


I think Mei wanted to be forgotten, which might be the reason he toke down the Memorial channel.


When you got to think about this MeiAIDS is also semi-responsible for making the cory in the house meme


Something like this did happen again. I think it happened on April Fool's day maybe 2-3 years ago to primarily the League of Legends community. They had their titles changed, but I can't remember what they were changed to.


I'm actually meiAIDS.

What? Did you really think someone who tries to hide will suddenly shout trying to make people see him?

Back in 2009, those comments were commonly seen.


Tbh with people like Jake it would just be MeiAIDS handing him a tank of fuel for his video-making factory.


I miss the old 2009 memes.<br>Thankfully, steamed hams is generating lots of YTPs, so maybe, just maybe, the old era will rebirth, just like Rick Roll memes revived as John Cena memes, and hopefully this reborn era lives longer.

When that goat first appeared onscreen, I immediately checked WalrusGuy's video to see if it was the same one. I always wondered why that was there! Especially since it was made during a time when the thumbnail had to be a frame from the video.


The fact that he changed Bieber's thumbnail into a toy of Robotnik from AOSTH is just fucking hilarious.


MeiAIDS is pretty much YouTube’s equivalent of Keith Moon.


I vaguely remember this, it kind of does feel like a dream.


Do one on walrus guy. I fucking love these history of ytps


Holy crap dude, did you say that this guy leaves no trace? Holy crap dude, you are a target now dude!


This is now the first search result for “MeiAIDS” on YouTube.


I had completely forgotten that this happened. Like a blur passing through time. But, that thumbnail came flooding back memories. I always wanted to see what that Asian man had to say, but I could never find that video, or knowing what I would click on at the time. Good times....good times...


I'm going to download this video, we all know that Mei will take it down somehow.


Yeah i remembered seeing other videos with an Onegai My Melody thumbnail that had nothing to do with the videos themselves and other youtube channels, i thought it was like a running gag back then, nothing else...<br>Sure the guy crossed the line with all that mess but... he DID make some good youtube poops back then, and i guess he's just now history

I wish some hack thing could happen now. Then we might be able to tank this website


I thought this series was gonna be dropped for minute memes. Glad it wasn't!


of course he is still out there watching us and I bet maybe waiting for the right opportunity to maybe no attack but maybe to save us all from YouTube itself


I was 5 when the hack happened. God, it’s been awhile.


This is the greatest video of the year so far.


I have a theory, it is that MeiAids is ADHDYoshi. A piece of evidence I have are the names look at Meis name mei (an anime goat) aids (an std) now look at yoshi's name adhd (a disorder) yoshi (a videogame character that is a dinosaur) the names don't sound similar but they are similar in context I don't know exactly if anyone can disprove this please do BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY A MEME THEORY THANKS FOR READING


4:31 This is clearly edited, Kitty0706 would NEVER have said that!


Me: I'm gonna comment on the next Minuite Memes "where's YT Geographic?"
1 hour later
Me:...are you spying on me?


Good lord of memes emperor lemon, I have a question, who was the first YouTubePooper?


So who was the person who had uploaded those videos? I wanna see an archieve in 2018.


when we think about it
he could be everywhere
literally everywhere

but we will never know


I remember the hack <br>But i don't really remember Mei

I remember the hack
But i don't really remember Mei


12:13 he gathered the holy corpse parts and then dio (mei) killed him


MaiAIDS is like YouTube Jesus. He came to YouTube, did some stuff and vanished to some day come back and return us to the casual shit posting


MeiAIDS is probably just watching this, smiling and nodding.


This is so fucking wild it's like the lost lore of YouTube


He must want to be forgotten if he tried so hard to cover his tracks...


He could be you or me! That's right! Anyone could be Mei! Except me.


Someone should do this again but instead, set youtube poops as trending.


>Whiskey Bar starts playing<br>Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

>Whiskey Bar starts playing
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well


Makes sense that a guy like Mei would like Kaiji.


i remember that. I was only 10 years old and was thinking wtf happened.


That's the intro to Demon Days (Gorillaz), I see what you did there Emp


I remover when I was REALLY young and I saw that damn goat. I didn’t think about it at all. Until now.


Actually though I did see another thumbnail hack. It was on some top ten animal list or something when the thumbnail was a picture of an anime girl, no context in the video had anything to do with the thumbnail.


First thoughts, i thought aids was something good cuzz it could aid u to be better


0:07 I'm coming home weegee your always gonna be my fav


youtube did get hacked, people using insomnia got their thumbnails changed


Love the Charles Mingus in the background,
it just fits

Love the Charles Mingus in the background,

Ya know how everyone fucking hated MeiAIDS back then and nobody needed him?<br>In 2018, MeiAIDS returning will be a fullfilled prophecy

Ya know how everyone fucking hated MeiAIDS back then and nobody needed him?
In 2018, MeiAIDS returning will be a fullfilled prophecy

Nobody ever hated him, quite the contrary. Even after he went berserk and started a DMCA crusade against prominent YTPers of the time.


Those Piano-Chan thumbnails give me some serious nostalgia...


I'm pretty sure EmpLemon is MeiAIDS just fucking metatrolling us beyond all extent.


Haven't heard about the Lost Mei's Tiny Toon Adventures is very hidden in the internet as well


Ahhh..
Man credit is given when you are the warm core.
Hahahaha yes!!


I really liked that clip of that wrestler guy taking off his mask with facepaint in the same style underneath at about 4:18. Would you mind if I posted that on /r/TwoHealthBars? You would be credited of course.


People have started calling everyone normies and it's making me cringe I guess the things trying to stop cringe have become cringy


Anyone remember that time some goofballs posted porn onto Youtube and used thumbnails with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers? It happened around 2012.


@EmpLemon this did happen a second time. Remember "ourmine are back"?


<b>*This video got copyright claimed by Mei corp LTD*</b>

**This video got copyright claimed by Mei corp LTD**


Hope he doesn’t strike down this video too.


I'm going to guess that EmpLemon doesn't like anime.


Wonder where Mei is doing. We shall find the real one.


EmpLemon: HAIL EMPORER!!!<br>P.S: Are you excited for The Incredibles 2?

EmpLemon: HAIL EMPORER!!!
P.S: Are you excited for The Incredibles 2?


Holy fuck dude i remeber seeing a few of the pink anime sheep a long ass time ago


how much do y'all bet that emplemon is meiaids


So, how is MeiAIDS is doing now? The world may never know!


Thank you for sneaking Colin in this @4:32 <3


So which one of you guys in the comments is the true Mei?


Awe, thanks for making a video about me ❤❤❤


Pool's closed due to meiAIDS and stingrays who also have meiAIDS


Imagube mei auds is still around just waiting


That The Doors song at 10:04 put this vid in the spot


I like how you used the alabama song fron the doors


MeiAIDS lives! his account according to the youchewiki, is Meifinnishgoat


OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THE DOOM INSTURMENTAL


You dare invoke the ancient god of chaos? Do you not realize what you have done?


I was just listening to that doors song yesterday. good stuff.


I used to watch that shit when i was a kid


So meiaids is the 2nd coming of christ???


Anyone else see Kitty's comment and just die a little inside?


if only he hacked youtube with pink sheep now


So many damn normies... reuploading memes and making horrible vines... the internet is doomed. Abandon ship.


In the words of perhaps the first YouTube comment ever <br>"Interesting..."

In the words of perhaps the first YouTube comment ever
"Interesting..."


I thought this would be about imaperson.


M3lOdI Yes it is me the real "MEIAIDS" I AM NO IMPOSTER. H U M A N


Emplemon you cant for get about Meme fortresses!


Youtube just fucked up my notifications and i literally get nothing<br>disgusting

Youtube just fucked up my notifications and i literally get nothing

He's pretty much like Doctor Doom and many of his other accounts are Doom Bots!


Hey it's the intro for gorillaz demon days


Can the next YouTube geographic be on kitty0706


1:00 is the song in the background Gorillaz?


Stormy night isnt about furries, they're cartoon characters not fans of anthropomorphic creatures buddy, get it right.

Furries is a term that describes cartoon characters as well, usually and mostly anthro animals.


Nigga how u not get copystriked for using the Hatian Fight Song?  I had to get the license to play this in band


Do you guys think he is in this comment section???


Umm wait u a gorillaz fan? I hear it in alot of your vids


2:57 what is this anime furry name please

*2:57** what is this anime furry name please*


I love all of this. MeiAIDS is a genuine modern legend where his story is passed on by word of mouth. YouTube needs him now more than ever.


Honestly I really loved this video. While I appreciate you calling youtube out on their garbage, I think this kind of historical retrospective stuff is way more entertaining and unique and I'd love to see more of it.


The more I watch your channel, the more it grows on me. Great narration, interesting topics and good editing. Best of luck for you, EmpLemon.


Ive been searching for a long time, i wanted to know if new stories are still worth telling. Listening to this, I had no idea modern legends could still be born. Thank you Emperor Lemon, You're tales touched this jaded soul.


This is probably one of the most entertaining and well edited videos you ever made. Well done!


These videos are actually super cool! I love learning about all the stuff that went on on YouTube before it was mainstream. I can't wait to see more dude!


Thanks for making this so detailed. Has a lot of value being this in-depth.


I remember hearing about Mei post-mortem(?) when listening to Stu's old news shows. Pretty informative what you've done, I must say. Not even Stu mentioned the Disney star thumbnails, and he was there for it!


Huh, I never knew about any of this even if I started using YouTube in 2008 and then REALLY got into it in 2009. Perhaps I did see one of the hacked thumbnails and didn't think anything of it, but I do not recall any large channels at the time saying there was a thumbnail hack either.

Anyway this was pretty interesting, I'm really enjoying this series even if it's just 2 episodes so far, looking forward for more!


Interesting video, keep it up! Would love to see more videos like this.  A multy part series on ytps u recomend from different eras would be cool since i have wanted to watch some from back in the day but dont know where to start..


now THIS is content that i love and enjoy. this is amazing keep the good work up!


Holy shit! Thank you for this! I remember hearing "MeiAIDS" all the time on ytp videos, but I never understood who or what it was!


Thank you, EmpLemon. This was amazing, you will put Internet Historian out of his job!

(be careful talking shit about reviewbrah though)


Great job as usual EmpLemon.  Keep it up.


Wow, MeiAIDS seems almost inspiring to me and the YTP community

Respect towards MeiAIDS


I remember this day although I wasn't part of the YouTube Poop community so I didn't know exactly what was going on. I watched YouTube poop a lot but I never knew about Maiaids, Thanks Emplemon.


Wow, that was incredible. On a related note, the closest thing that resemble a hack like this was when watchmojo and a few others(?) was hacked by peincorp. Other than that nothing much like that happened


Fucking fantastic video! This is the kind of stuff I love, indepth vids about obscure unknown events. Keep up the fantastic content Emp!


Guys, I think I see a thaw in the downward spiral! It’s only being mentioned occasionally (not the least bit because Minute Memes seems to be invading the channel), so clearly Emp’s getting better mentally!

I’m not saying it’s ogre, because it’s pretty obvious that it’s not, but even still


Thinking about someone like that, and how they could be literally anyone on this website who’s face we haven’t seen, is like thinking about how Cthulhu lurks beneath the surface, waiting to awaken to send the world into an eternity of hate fueled Orgies.


Dude... fuck yes. I've never heard of this, despite being in the ytp community since 2010. This is just too fucking awesome to be true... a real YTP trooper. \m/


I like this format you're working with. If you want to make more of these I'd check 'em out. Nice work.


Some say Mei is still out there. Trolling on in the vast web of the internet. Godspeed Mei. Godspeed.


Thank you so much for making this video! I was a huge fan of Meiaids back in 2009 and 2010! I remember his last video was just hardcore gay anime goat porn.

That exists? Wait, did he make the video or was it uploaded from something else?


This was really nice to watch, regardless if the legend was even real.


YTP is still good if you ask me but you can't beat the Classics like "Toys gone wild" and Stuff.


I remember this whole AIDS thing, and I've seen several of those thumbnails, LMAO good shit mei.


I was in the same boat as you, Emp. I saw the thumbnails around but didn't think too much of it. So seeing this now I'm all "Ohh, damn that was a thing".


imagine becoming such a legend in this day and age


This man, this man is a fucking legend. We need him back to put YouTube in its place. This guy caused so much chaos, we need MOAR.


Hope you'll do more of YouTube Geographic in the future.


Rest in peace, MeiAIDS... You will never be forgotten...


Wait what? Hasn't YouTube been hacked at least twice since where they uploaded some promotional videos or renamed videos and accounts? And the fact it's been completely forgotten here kinda invalidates your point about the big impact it could have if it happened now..


A fascinating tale about a shitposting champion.<br>I hope he comes back to give this site the thumbnail hack it deserves for leaving creative people behind in favour of celebrities and corporate stooges.

Damn, your taste in music is seriously good. Particularly enjoyed the Lalo Schifrin composition, helps that dirty harry is my favourite film series of all time.


There's something magical about watching you're videos about old YouTube,


How does someone get this kind of information?  I never find this stuff on the internet.


Reactor is like a present day MeiAIDS.  Good channel


i don’t know why you don’t have more subs, you are legendary


this is fascinating. what a legend. Mei Ah Laser


haahhaha mei took down his own memorial, this guy must have been a legend


Ah youtube recommends a video about incest after this. You never let me down Emp!


I vaguely remember seeing that sheep way back before I even had my own account O_o what a legend


In event MeiAIDS takes down the historical review by Emp, save the video.


Imagine being mei and watching this video


Toys Gone Wild was the first YouTube Poop I ever watched!

Oh, Happy memories.


We need MeiAIDS today.  Hack this godforsaken site.


I wonder if mei is watching this video right now, nodding his head in approval of this video


I wish i were as old as i am now back then so that i could appreciate all this...


This is when I was starting to get into YouTube. I remember this.


What a fucking legend. I really missed some good shit back then.


Damn I love your music choices, Mirage is what got me into playing the guitar...


oh shit now I actually want a hack like this to happen now XDDDD


I wonder if in the future my children will ask me to recall the tale of meAIDS.


Let's hack YouTube on the day Mei hacked the site, as a memorial day.


So chill informative and shitpost. Its too good Emp


MeiAIDS would like a God if he returned this Year! I'm just gonna hold out for his return.


Damn I almost forgot to call shity things AIDS, times have changed.


Gosh, thanks for making a video about this.  I completely blocked it from my memory.


It's like MeiAids the Kingdom Hearts Xehanort of Youtube....

He could be any of us.
We just dont even know it yet.


This sort of shit outdates me too. Wish I could help but my memory is bone dry of this incident


I love how you put Haitian fight song in here, my favorite piece to play.


There needs to be more MeiAIDS in the world now more than ever. BG Kumbi is the only person I know of that comes close to this level of trolling and its entertaining as hell.


Oh man... i didnt know MeiAids untill this video, and i already wish he was here today....


You know I think I remember seeing that pink goat image aswell. Damn I never this, The man is a youtube poop legend.


Wasn't there a recentish hack that changed the titles of a bunch of videos?


Mei is the hero we need, but don't deserve. But maybe there's a little AIDS in all of us


watch out emp lemon, you said his name, now he might be comin for you.


What if our emperor is a reincarnation of Mei


WHY ARE YOU SUCH A GENIUS?  i need more time to go watch all your oldshits because it must be awesomeshits also


of course, because there is one mei pooper is coming back in the newer youtube future


Those where the days when I was 11 blast from the past


Disappointed I didn't scroll down to comments and see everyone claiming to be Mei<br>Great video though.

Disappointed I didn't scroll down to comments and see everyone claiming to be Mei
Great video though.


What if Mei is in the comments right now?<br>But we will never find it?

What if Mei is in the comments right now?
But we will never find it?


Not even Noisepuppet disappeared this perfectly.


emp make a video about when dragonforce was the most responded to video on youtube, you know, back when you could even make response videos


I felt like I was watching dookieshed with that music you used lol


I still wonder if Imaperson is a MeiAIDS alt account


honestly I really hope that he’s here In the comments


you can just feel the discomfort when emp says "anime"

JakeSpacePirate E don't worry I'm pretty sure he was fine with anime when he collabed with internet historian, he watched a hatsune miku commercial and it didn't seem like he was annoyed at all

Sinos3xxdg I mean, this was a while ago, I really don't think he still does it, at least I hope he doesn't.<br>This is a clear sign of a Normie. -_-

Sinos3xxdg I mean, this was a while ago, I really don't think he still does it, at least I hope he doesn't.
This is a clear sign of a Normie. -_-

JakeSpacePirate E idk Emp likes to roast anime very often


Is this a normal video or a message to MeiAids?


Thanks for the lore video, appreciated, ypBR is better btw.


4:31 Why is Kitty being referenced so much in your video recently!?!?


You must really like hip hop. I hear so many original tunes that Hip Hoppers have sampled. MF DOOM, DJ Guru. You the man.


Wait, THAT'S why WalrusGuy's video had that thumbnail this whole time?


But what if every one of these comments was one of Mei's YouTube accounts? Even YOU could be MeiAIDS...


But the real question is where is he now?


Remember when Porn was allowed in Youtube?

Porn is still allowed on YouTube.

Specifically, the YouTube Kids app.

Porn *is* still allowed on YouTube.

meanwhile i am over here and i still make Hotel mario  youtube shits


The biggest troll I've ever heard about.


Maybe you are MeiAIDS in disguise and you made this video to completely cover your tracks. Hmmmmmmmmm...


You should highlight the new rise of rips with channels like siivagunner and VvvvvaVvvvvvr


Fuck i emember this.  Really takes me back.


I’ve noticed in your videos you have a lot of tf2 references such as music or small segments. Do u play?

Broken Videos He used to. Pretty sure he doesn't now tho.


I love the MF track in the backround at the start


Countdown to MeiAIDS shutting down this channel too


Oh no, now we're gonna get beta trolls trying to recreate his style.

Also remember when someone hacked Youtube not too long ago and changed all the video names?


normies are going to keep asking for minute meme videos until they kill it just like they did with frying dory

screencap this^

anyways...
Good video man I always like hearing about the bantz I ended up missing from the better times of the internet. I was on youtube albeit I generally wasn't a part of the ytp community at the time and like you vaguely remember the goat and asian dude thumbnails but I literally thought it was just another quirky 4 teh lulz thing that people were doing. iirc circa 2009 I was hugely into flash animations on sites like flashring(rip), albino blacksheep and later newgrounds. God shit was just more crazy back then.

Started the video for the lore watched the credits for the quality music, actually makes me wonder if more people put KC or genesis on during their credit sequence instead of youtube_mix_beat_track-01.ogg maybe more people would stay through the credits (or maybe just me O.o).


What’s the song at the end? I fucking love jazz

Supertwister by Camel. They're not the jazziest group, they're more prog rock but their flautist was/is really good.


Watch this video be hacked or something by mai ads


Do the video on another YouTube Pooper Deepercutt

deepercutt yes someone else remembers him


Great vid, also surprised to see a kitty0706 comment.

if you look at the old Kitty0706's YTPs you'll even see snippets taken directly from some of the old MeiAIDS' YTPs


Man I wish Youtube would get hacked again...


Why the did you show Garfield when you mentioned furry? I don't understand what's wrong with Garfield.


RAN RAN RUU! Ayatata yadebedabadee! PINGAS! My Name is Boxxy! What is love! (RickRoll)


8:14 look at the middle video omg frankuuuuuu


@Thespikedballofdoom what i meant was that the account was created after this video.

you can say it was a nice try but all of his old accounts got suspended


<b>cough cough</b> I wonder why YouTube died today

*cough cough* I wonder why YouTube died today

What is that pfp meiAIDS used? You of that guy?


AnD tHeY SaY wHiTe PeOpLe DoN't HaVe CuLtUrE


HES USING THAT REMIX OF MOTOR MORTOS YCLIST OR SOME SHIT FORM FINAL FANATSY!! He be a cool?


what was the music at the end of the video?

"Supertwister" by the English progressive rock band Camel, off their second album, Mirage.


I honestly really love where this channel has been and is going. Deep diving into the history and current aspects of a genre from a veteran of the format. I get excited when I see a new EmpLemon vid go up. Keep it up <3


Emp Lemon, I give you immense props for this. You are one of the greatest figures for memes and internet history and I personally thank you for making videos on seemingly forgetful topics. Keep doing what you do best.


I love you Emp, you have this unusually strange way of making a video about historical events and make them entraining to watch.


I was coincidentally going on a nostalgia trip the other day and rewatched "Mrs buckets sexually harasses anthropomorphic animals," and then you put this out.<br>MeiAIDS really is a curse.

Back in the days I was addicted to the internet, and I never heard of this event before. Bravo on this documentary and researching Emp.


Wow, what a story, you sure love this community and it shows by how much detail you compile and how entertaining your video narrative is, very impressive


Man, I <b>wish</b> someone would perform a similar hack on modern YouTube. This platform needs to be humbled.

Man, I *wish* someone would perform a similar hack on modern YouTube. This platform needs to be humbled.


how does emplemon keep churning out all of these super high-quality videos? he uses inquiry learning so effectively and the research is super interesting and also valuable!!!


These Youtube Geographic videos are so expertly done that it's actually inspirational.


These videos are great, I’ve been watching YTP for years and have never heard about this notable character


I love these YouTube Geographic vids it’s like the history channel looking back on better times when things were brighter


Awesome video, id love to see more youtube history videos like this.


Rumors have been going around that MeiAIDS has been acting up recently. It was hard to see anything in youtube's recent shitstorm. But you- EmpLemon- harnessed the might of the Downward Spiral to form your 2017 Reality Check, and made a clearing inside the clusterfuck. There have been reports of sightings of, in that clearing, a small, pink animal. Experts have looked into it, and concluded that it was Piano-chan herself, who had not been seen since MeiAIDS's attack. Some say it's a sign of his return, and that right now he his planning an attack that will send both the normies and the outsiders into chaos. Others say it's a harbinger of something greater; a never-before seen downward spiral that will lead to the end of society as we know it.<br>All we know for sure is that it's never ogre.

I feel like I should train under you or something. I love learning about stuff like this


Holy hell, this dude was essentially a god among mortals. He was the legend27 before that meme was even existent. We need him now to free us from the shitposting normie virus that’s killing youtube


To be honest, I'd love for MeiAIDS to do this now.


I seriously love these vids, keep it up!


Very fucking interesting video, would love to hear more back in the day youtube stories from you


I like videos like this more than the usual drama. Please, educate me more about the past!


I joined YT in April 09 so I vaguely remember this. I was literally watching what YouTubers you showed. Shane Dawson, CTFxC and WHATTHEBUCK. Gave me a serious flashback to some very different times!


This guy right here bringing me nostalgia in YouTube 😢.... I miss it


I like this! I remember these things happening right as I joined YT back in the day. Good vid


Dude... I watch all of his Sonic youtube poops back in the day, I was basically a fan of his work with out even knowing who the guy was! Man youtube was so magical back then


Earlier this week, a worksheet I had had the words <b>downward spiral</b> on it. I drew a gigantic downward spiral on the back of the worksheet, and the teacher was cool enough to write “Cool!” On it

Earlier this week, a worksheet I had had the words *downward spiral* on it. I drew a gigantic downward spiral on the back of the worksheet, and the teacher was cool enough to write “Cool!” On it


Your videos are fucking great. They're some mix of shitposting and YT journalism. I aspire to be on your level.


Thank you for this video, because i understand more of what i missed in the day, i feel like im more complete ina way, so thanks


Keep this shit up, my man. This downward spiral is where I wanna be


Now everyone and their mother is going to be talking about this event. There's going to be a world-wide Mei search, if there is then Emp will skyrocket in popularity, as he deserves.


It warms my shit posting heart to see someone talk about YouTube poops again


This is my kind of quality content I love for a sad and depressing lonely night. <b>smooch</b> bravo

This is my kind of quality content I love for a sad and depressing lonely night. *smooch* bravo


good lord i thought i'd never hear the name meiaids outside of ytp news reruns ever again


Dude you use the best music in your videos. Hearing Camel in the last few seconds was bliss.


God, Hank of the Hill still gives me chills.


But where did he go?

What if Mei is still around and talking to people?

What if he is watching this video?

What if he sees everything?

What if he is omnipotent?

What if he is a god?

What if...
We all are MeiAIDS?!?


The only thing I have to say to Mei is "the future is now old man."


I started YouTube in the MLG meme era so I used to watch YouTube poops all the time and those MLG song remixes and this is the channel that started my love for YTPs


Just gained more respect for EmpLemon when i heard that Demon Days intro


What if this video inspires the next MeiAIDS, and within the week we see another 2009 Christmas thumbnail hack

I really hope so, the YTP community deserves yet another big event such as that one


I remember seeing this when I was only 4. Man, crazy that was almost 10 years ago now. Holy shit...


I want to learn how to hack YouTube like MeiAIDS did!


What Logan did doesn’t qualify as a “mistake.” That implies it being an accident. He purposefully did what he did and only apologized after YouTube cracked the whip.


I love how you use Wish You Were Here to describe a corporation


Honestly this "Mei" person is a lot like YouTube pooper "TheRumChum" he has the same tactics as Mei, etc. Emp, maybe you could try to do some research on this guy. He's deadly in his work. Most of it being from today from 8 years ago.


Our YTP historian. What would we do without you Lemon?


4:32  I praise this mans legacy he left behind


Hey nice video you should do more like this


I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like this vid was lowkey baiting Mei to return and fuck shit up again.

Now that's something I'd like to see.


I loved the old days with youtube poop and trollface and more


You should talk about the Viacom vs. YouTube lawsuit for the next one!


I bet he's waiting right now, watching as YouTube unfolds and waiting for his glorious time to strike, and come back to the light once more.


Mei never left, you just can’t find him anymore.


Hol up homie. Actually some of us did know Mei but he went by the name WalrusGuy for the longest time.
Try looking for tributes because I am sure there should still be some bits and pieces left around.
And his Poops where legendary. Actually I am pretty sure he was the godfather of some older yet still relevant memes that where spawned specifically from YTP.


holy hell that Demon Days intro gave me so much nostalgia


The hero we diserve and yet when the time we need him he vanished


...never happen again? Don't you remember how a few years ago it happen again when a few of the biggest channels got their thumbnail changed? Like WatchMojo, ScreenRant, React etc?

It wasn’t MeiAIDS, since it wasn’t the signature thumbnails he used. And even then, it wasn’t major.


Well I didn't expect to learn why my favorite WalrugGuy YTP has such a weird-ass thumbnail today, but I guess I just did.


So I still have a question ..... is Mei a hero or a villain ..... or maybe just a weird middle ground thing.


I just might try and find him on the internet just so I can know where he lives and send him some funds


He may still be among us as another user to this shitty site<br>But since then more people have done wild shit like this and disappeared in the same fashion

He may still be among us as another user to this shitty site
But since then more people have done wild shit like this and disappeared in the same fashion


Wait... Compiled... All of his videos to one... Hold up, did you get his permission? ō.ó Kinda concerned that this will get copyright claimed, trolled, whatever by the man himself.


YouTube poops are still the peak of comedy imo


That was legendary. More obsure shit pls.


What if meiAIDS false flags your video for the same reason he had the memorial shut down?


Very interesting flashback.

I havent seen these thumbnails since ive been a kid back these days and just watched German videos.
Most of the time translated Animation Videos.


HOLY SHIT THAT THUMBNAIL THE MEMORIES BLESS THAT HACKER


I bet he will come back in a big style sometime


Who knows, maybe Emplemon is secretly MeiAIDS


PRAY TO THE GREAT MONTIZON FOR OUR HERO MEI TO RETURN!


Dude... Kitty0706, I miss that guys content so much, a true youtube legend R.I.P


This story is the shit Hollywood would make a movie into. #EMPasMEI


Holy smokes I never realized One more Final was connected to all that.

Also Sonicdude YT geographic when?


Puting Robotnik in a thumbnail of a famous yt channel video?

FUCKING GLORIOUS


I don't remember this, but then again, in 2009 I was on Newgrounds all the time.


I remember the Asian dude hack when I actually cared about Shane Dawson and What The Buckley lmao


wonder what happened to meiAIDS perhaps an alt or death or he stoped with the internet or youtube maybe its better if we never know kinda poetic in a way


Man. I miss old youtube. I remember making shit videos when i was only 9 cause i wanted to be a big youtuber. Not for money, but cause i wanted people to know about me and care. Its sad. But hey now youtube is a carrer for some people. thats cool. i guess.


Hey Emp, there isn't enough Gentle giant in yer videos,get to it boi.


Plot twist: emplemon is Meiaids 5 years later


Ah... 2008<br>When all I ever watched were lego spongebob videos

Ah... 2008
When all I ever watched were lego spongebob videos


Thank you for the inspiring video, EmpLemon. All we need is for you to pump out more low quality videos, ma nigga. Jk, breh.


I'm getting some John Bois/Pretty Good vibes from this!


Toys Gone Wild, now that's a name I have not heard in a long, long time...


It's like ancient history we don't know it happened but since people say it did and there's little but still remaining proof it happenedpeople aren't sure but still believe it


Hey EmpLemon, do you watch the down the rabbit hole series?


When a hero like that to hack YouTube like that again


Sentence mixing? is that like sentence shifting?


10:03 when you bring the doors into the d o w n w a r d s p i r a l


If he made 3 fake accounts to terminate that archive channel, I really begin to wonder how easy it would be to do that to any channel on YouTube. I mean, I guess Mei was probably a pretty intelligent person, but still...

That was a False DMCA, you could do that sort of stuff easily back then with just one account, but it simply doesn't work anymore.


4:30 rip kitty0706. Also what if MeiAIDS was responsible for problems with today's youtube like elsagate?


Here before MeiAIDS hacks the large hadron collider and destroys the world.


I was just blinded by the balls on that kid


There was the one time WatchMojo got hacked.


Yo that Flash Man music at 7:17 caught me off guard!


You farse, nekos aren't anime furries. (LOL)


Welp, now he's probably going to terminate you? Who knows...


I saw Kity0706's channel and now I'm sad.


Likely story emperor now go do whatever emperorlemon likes to do ... Like green Simpsons :p


come baack sweet prince... make the youtube god fear the people it so desperately mistreats...


Perhaps he's in this comment section as we speak.


What about the poodle Corp situation in 2016


Ayye the Hatian Fight Song is thicc af great choice


TF2 music i think, Good youtube geographic!


Supreme Lord Daddy Emperor President Trump


And thus...
Normies began to populate
*shoots self


he did back in 2016 and I'm willing to bet he is still around


inb4 he comes back because of this video


THATS A GORILLAZ DEMON DAYS SAMPLE I HEARD.


Kitty0706 makes yet another appearance :^(


I have to ask what was the song used in YouTube machine broke

no i mean what is the time stamp in the video?

No I mean what is the song called it's really catchy I new to knowe it's name


Dont you, forget about. Dont dont dont you, forget about me......


New youtube is Garbage. It's an actual dystopia

Truer words have never been spoken, My Princess!


Yo were chungus at? also anyone rub this in someone's face that works at youtube yet? I want to see a response from youtube.


I’m seriously loving all of these videos. This was interesting as hell. <br>Keep up the amazing work, man!

I’m seriously loving all of these videos. This was interesting as hell.
Keep up the amazing work, man!


I remember seeing images of that pink goat back in 2009. At first, I thought it was some weird trend the entire YouTube community made up. But now its been long forgotten, but I never realized YouTube was actually hacked by MeiAIDS (I also watched his videos at the time). I was 11 when this happened.


Holy shit, this was such a well made video. Looking forward to more Youtube Geographic! Looks like the downward spiral has just changed direction


This is honestly another great video, I always crave these weird, obscure, and rare occurrences and you’ve satisfied my craving, keep this up.


That was pretty interesting, and with the whole change from how YouTube was then and how it is now you proposed an interesting idea of how this sort of thing would go down today.


Great content as always, Emp. You are, by far, my favorite youtuber on this site, and I hope you dont go anywhere anytime soon. I love you too much. Please, have my children.


Damn Emp, you are one really smart person finding all of this and Mei is one delightfully devilish person.


I had the exact same views on the thumbnail hack that you did. I remember seeing the hacked thumbnails all over the place but didn't think anything of it. It's like a repressed memory that came back to life once I saw this video.


It's always interesting to hear about things that happened on YouTube years before my parents let me watch YouTube or set up an account.


Wonderfully put together, Emp.  I've never known about MeiAIDS.


Very interesting video. I have never heard of MeiAIDS before, but he sounds like a legend, who would have never been around nowadays on Modern Youtube.


I’m glad you started this series again. I thought the first episode got me to think and start fiddling with the wayback machine.


I like this. It's fun looking back at how different things were on the internet. At this time, I didn't have a pc at home and so I didn't frequent youtube unless I could use a proxy at school or if I visited my friend. I like this. More of this please?


And after this video, MeiAIDS will be known a little bit more now after your fantastic Documentary about him. The main question will always be sparked up from time to time, "Where does a man like Mei go from here"


I love these stories EmpLemon. Please do more.


You're really good at making interesting videos out of anything


Woah now this seems ripe for a series, the editing is smooth and the research on wild west internet is something I quite enjoy.


Hey emp, just wanted to say I really love your content, and it inspired me to try and learn how to edit, I am now taking a video production class and I am really enjoying it, currently I am making a video on how the Ugandan Knuckles meme fell out of relevancy, and it has some of your editing style. But keep up the great content


It is a glorious time to be alive whenever Emplemon posts a new video


Hey man your editorials are so good I could watch them for hours


If anyone ever wanted to hack YouTube to an extent bigger than Mei, then I wanna be a part of that


I remember when ytp’s were at their golden age. Good times they were


Great video as always keep up the great work


I feel like YouTube deserves another Christmas hack incident, it would definitely make them re-think their montizon bot design.


I like this format. Keep it up Emperor Lemon.


The inclusion of the Magnum Force theme has earned you too much of my respect


Love the detective mystery style of this video, dunno why but I really like it.


Awesome video bro, keep up the good content.


Another fantastic video EmpLemon, this series is so great.


I hope what’s left of mei sees this and tries once more.


I remember back in the old days of 2011 watching YouTube poops. The good days😭


I love your videos man you're one of my favorite YouTuber.


I wish youtube was more like the wild west like the older times, nowadays creators get so much shit from people for even doing anything slightly offensive. It's saddening.

rip kitty0706
he literally died of cancer in like 2014 or 2015, no joke
he was the legit crown jewel of the tf2 and ytp community
r.i.p. you legend

It was Leukemia but yeah, sad day, he was a beloved YT user in general.


I did NOT enjoy Christmas of 2009. I was sick as a dog that year. It is strange however that on the same day the proto-YouTube Poop community was put in spotlight (however dim it may have been), I was literally pooping my pants due to whatever variant of the flu on steroids I had at the time. Coincidence? I think NOT!


This story is too spooky. He could be anywhere.Hell after hearing the ending this video could be taken down so it can be forever forgotten.


2009 was a good time to be alive

Well for ytps at least


Great vid, not surprised it turned into an anti-new youtube lecture again.


10 minutes ago I was like “ I wanna watch some dank memes” and boom you uploaded a video Thanks emp


Meanwhile, Mei lurks somewhere, in the darkness. Watch your back folks.


Hey, i actually got a YouTube homepage notification for this one! There might actually be a light at the end of this downward spiral!


Seemed like a hilarious dude until those false copyright claims.


Damo Suzuki... Mei's got great musical taste


I feel like this is some kind of a call to action


Conspiracy theory: emplemon is really meiAIDS


Oh I don’t doubt that mei is lurking among us to this day. I bet he’s watching this video


Legends will live in Infamy. May we witness more Legends arise from the fires.


Woah. I've been in the YTP community since then and also kinda vaguely remember the pink goat. :o


holy shit that was a blast from the past, thanks


That was actually very intersting, cool.


Damn if only AIDS waited 8 more years, he could have frucked up big YouTubers reputations


Ten bucks says Mei is watching this video right now. Then afterwards, he's going to contact EmpLemon in secret. After that who knows? Maybe Mei will hack Youtube again and replace the 2018 rewind with a video of EmpLemon leading an army of pink goats and Asian dudes named Domino Suzuki from the Commander's seat of a M-60 "Patton" tank.


These youtube drama freaks owe so much to TheArchfiend


Wow, I think I remember seeing a Thomas the tank engine video on YouTube and it had that pink sheep, I remember when I opened it all I remember was a part where Thomas drove into his little shack thing and exploded like 100 times.

Never thought the Onegai My Melody anime by Sanrio would get this much attention until that happened.


Damn i wish meiaids hacked youtube again


I like how you downplayed Logan Paul's attempt to profit off the suicide of a stranger as "one mistake".


When meiaids comes back it will be judgement day.


Little did we know that emplemon was meiAIDS


MeiAIDS is a YouTube legend<br>Kinda like deadpool

MeiAIDS is a YouTube legend
Kinda like deadpool


I wonder how much everything would explode if someone replaced a shit ton of thumbnails with images of Barry.


I remember the drama behind colgate and them actively taking down dr rabbit YTPs


inb4 mei comes back from the dead just to demonetize this video


tbh i would like to see that thumbnail hack rn.


Wouldn't be the last time thumbnails and titles would be hacked


Mei Ah Laser Disc Co will beat out Verbatim one day...


For a second, I forgot this guy does ytp


Man this guy sure is mystery. Also first time commenting on your vid


Christmas Day 2009? I just turned 6 on that day! :D


Your probably gave someone capable an idea. Doubt they'd be able to actually pull it off though


I did a ytp type vid. Called "Chaos of a Deranged Mind". I've also done 2 other later versions.


0:34 was that the stardew valley wind sound effect?


The hero of Youtube, the man they call Mei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8omJvCrwRdY


MeiAIDS should have YouTubepooped the rants that would have been even better


The song you chose made me think “check in, check out dates, and? Search.”


Anyone could be MeiAIDS. It could be me. It could be you. It could be that guy right behind you.

while this mei nigga was hacking i was celebrating my 4th birtday


So if we Compile the remnant of is video there is a chance he will appear, let's do that.


Don't forget poodlecorp hacked youtube thumbnails and titles a couple of years ago (2015 or 2016 i think)


This is Sparta !!!!!<br>... I will never forget

This is Sparta !!!!!
... I will never forget


You should do a video on kitty0706. I miss that guy


Ah, he used the best gorillaz song, INTRO


If someone changed a ton of kids channel thumbnails or popular youtuber thumbnails for that fake Obama nude that Eirc Andre uses, that would be awesome.


*You are now entering*
*_ThE hArMoNiC rEaLm_*


You are now entering the harmonic world......


AYE IT'S MEIADS don't know why you made a video on this cuz you made a Twitter post on this


EmpLemon! you fool! stop this before <b>YOU SUMMON MeiAIDS FROM HIS CRYOSTASIS</b>

EmpLemon! you fool! stop this before *YOU SUMMON MeiAIDS FROM HIS CRYOSTASIS*


50 views turns into 8 views within twenty minutes. That’s neat


Anyone know what the outro music is called?


Song at 1:01 ? I swear I heard it before.


Alabama Song by The Doors, is playing in the background.


What are your opinions on Jungle Inferno?


Thanks for making a video about me LOL Xdddd


I wonder what a pink goat and disgusting Star Wars wrestler could breed


Demihumans are not furries. Nekos are not furries. Fox girls are not furries.


this guy is amazing and disgusting furry ew


Meiaids is secretly trolling the entire world trying to convince everyone that global warming is real


I personally hope MeiAIDS is doing fine. He probably is about 30-40 years now, with a family, working in an IT department and sometimes telling his kids about the story. Hell, he probably doesn't actually tell it.
