YouTube as a 24/7 entertainment channel for kids is definitely not turning 14 now; it's pretty much a recent phenomenon.

  It started with Minecraft "let's play" videos, that was around 2010.

    Lets play videos did exist much earlier for quite a few different games.

      Definitely, I'm not saying that these videos were the first. I'm saying that this trend started with them. Meaning: Many of the original 2010 Minecraft youtubers are still around and they're generally considered "the veterans".
