Interesting. By the time I looked at it while I was an EIR at Accel it was definitely not a dating site and that was early 2005. My assessment was more of a soft-porn / piracy site :)

- jjirsa 7y agoI had a video site in the same era (https://web.archive.org/web/20050701082257/http://www.vobbo.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20050701082257/http://www.vobbo....) and it was 100% soft porn and piracy, so much so that I shut it down because I couldn’t justify the time spent moderating content (and I was a one man show, didn’t want to get sued). Should have tried to get funding, but had no idea what I was doing. But yea, I totally believe YouTube spent a few years as soft porn and piracy (which they clearly tolerated for eyeballs).
