No pain,japanese daughter mother with subtitles sex videos no grain.
Since YouTube's first video was uploaded in 2005, the video sharing platform has come alongway. At the beginning, it was a place for anyone and everyone to post whatever — a digital mosh pit teaming with grainy clips of people doing random things. Now, 14 years later, YouTube is home to over 1.8 billion users.
Included in those users are celebrities, gamers, beauty gurus, comedians, bakers, photographers, singers, pranksters, actors, and personalities, to name a few. People have quite literally made a name (and a lot of money) for themselves on the streaming site. Monetization has allowed for the platform to become extremely lucrative for its creators, who have stepped up their content games in major ways.
In celebration of a little bit of YouTube's nostalgia, let's take a look back at the earliest videos from some popular creators in all their grainy glory.
Smosh - 2005
It doesn't get any grainier than Smosh's very first video of the original members busting a move to the Power Rangerstheme song. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox always kept it real since the beginning.
Philip DeFranco - 2006
A two minute black and white video of "Sxe Phil" crudely explaining how to get out of an argument is the oldest clip available on DeFranco's channel. I wonder if he knew he'd still be churning out vids over a decade later.
Trisha Paytas - 2007
Of courseTrisha Paytas' first YouTube video is of herself sporting a spray tan and "rapping" to "Ice Ice Baby."
Jeffree Star - 2009
Star began his YouTube career with a short, choppy video of him showing off his hair and eating pizza in a bathtub, naturally.
Jackie Aina - 2009
Aina's earliest videos show that she's been a master at makeup since the beginning. Here's a "Twitter inspired" makeup look. Just beware, because it sounds like she recorded it while underwater with a Nintendo DS.
Jenna Marbles - 2010
Jenna Marbles introduced herself to the 'Tube with a video of her dog: Charles Franklin Marbles. However, she really made the world fall in love with her by telling silly stories, like this one about her roommate. Anyone with an internet connection in 2010 will vaguely recall Marbles hilariously declaring, "WHAT THE FUCK, BABY!"
Shane Dawson - 2010
Wanna feel old? Here's Shane Dawson recording a video with the iPhone 4. Let's have a moment of silence for that very first front-facing iPhone camera. Good times, good times.
Logan Paul - 2012
Before the Paul brothers made their own channels, they had a joint channel where they'd post all their antics. Here's Logan playing Fruit Ninja IRL. I guess they forgot they don't need to burn things to the ground in order to make a video.
David Dobrik - 2015
Before the Vlog Squad existed, there was just David, his camera, and some slow-motion effects. Oh, how far he's come.

Once upon a time, people still picked up the phone for unknown or unlisted callers. Luckily we still have gems like this to reminds us of those times. Who better to make prank calls than Bretman Rock?
Liza Koshy - 2015
Talking directly into a camera? Check. While driving? Check. While pushing a cart around Target? Check. Liza Koshy was the ultimate #relatable girl with her silly vlogs about doing #random things, like buying a onesie at everyone's favorite super store. Honestly, she's still all that.
Emma Chamberlain - 2017
Perhaps one of the fastest blow ups in recent YouTube history, Chamberlain went from 0 to 7.8 million subscribers in just two years. It all started with a lookbook video, as things do these days.
After seeing how long these creators have been creating for, regardless of scandals, cancelations, or just questionable content, it's hard to see them giving it up. By the time they dowant to stop vlogging, we'll probably be on Mars. And that's gonna make for some good content.
