I don't think "At first" means "from day one", but from when it became popular globally.

- latexr 3y agoThe first iPhone had a crappy camera, was quite expensive compared to simpler cameras many people had, and didn’t even record video. Even if you consider “at first” to be half a decade since inception, the “prototypical” creator was definitely not recording from an iPhone in their bedroom.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>Even if you consider “at first” to be half a decade since inception in the grand scheme of tech, sure. Around this same time, Justin.tv wasn't even off the ground yet. Companies fail fast often these days, so it can be easy to forget that a few companies had to invest years before hey even saw a spark. Regardless, this seems to be a nitpick that doesn't amount to much. be it a crappy hand camera recorded with an unregistered hypercam 2 or early smartphones as cameras developed, the main point was that Youtube started out very amateur before Google came in.
