I get so angry at those people. It’s not about just number of years you are apart and you know it. It’s where those years fall and the fact that being a fan of yours changes the power dynamic.
My wife is 4 years and 1 week older than me. It’s not a huge age gap, no. But we were both adults when we got together. Basically the only difference between us when we got together was that she had a better work history than I did and had better job prospects because of it. But then the age gap we have is jarring sometimes because of where it falls. We’re both millennials but she’s closer to Gen X and I’m closer to Gen Z and my Gods do I make her feel old sometimes.
That’s the difference. Is 5 years a big gap? Not if you’re both adults in similar stages in your lives. But if one of you is still in high school and the other is a YouTuber they’re a fan of? Yes! That’s a huge gap then!

…I feel old.
Over 2 decades of YouTube now
There are kids that can drink (in my country) that have never lived in a world without it
Please stop.
Most of the animals filmed in the zoo video are long dead.
How could you!
You can always feel your toes touching each other.
Your spell doesn’t work on me, WITCH, I feel joint pain instead!
Almost nobody has symmetrical ears.
Which is why it’s a good idea for those who order glasses online to still visit an optician for a fitting/adjustment. Everyone’s ears are different and not all frames are going to fit the same way. Millimeters make a huge difference when at the scale of your eyeball, and there are tools and techniques that optician can use with your lenses and frames that could improve your quality of vision (usually for free, in my experience.)
Edit: I meant optician, whoops
Which is exactly why i know that piece of information 😁
I wear glasses, had a family member who also briefly worked in an optical shop
2010 is as far back as 1995 was in 2010
Childhood and not berry-picking age
…I feel ancient.
I thought a gun was pointed at me for 3 panels
she used an image of a hand holding a gun as reference
Oof yeah… scrolling through my childhood youtubers like “child abuser, child abuser, wife abuser, drug abuser… oh this one’s normal! Wait no- raging racist”
That is, ubfortunayely; normal now.
I feel kinda lucky. I still watch a few (minecraft youtubers mostly), but i think less than 10 were unsubscribed for… reasons.
JeromeASF (and associated other channels) are pretty solid.
I never had them but that’s the fortune of growing up before YouTube, I suppose.
Better to watch documentaries like Earth with Attenborough’s commentary.
God bless the famous YouTubers that fuck up, I get so many long-form essay videos out of you guys 😘🫶
