The link is the list of most popular YouTuber subscriber from June of 2006.
This is not the oldest page I can find, this is the second oldest... I did a page on the first one... ???
Whatever, this page is more interesting.
We see that the top five YouTubers had some history in the intervening ten years.
Judson Lappiy is still trying to hold on that fame... Smosh is the exceptional outlier, We knew how Brooker went, The Wine Kone is stape stape of YouTube comedy... and there's Emmalina.
If you knew Emmalina from that time, she had a very different career than what you expect.
She got pregnant just a year later to a divorcee? And now has like two children, along with three more stepchildren? She still lives in Tasmania, though... well, I guess with that fact this is expected.
(That's Tasmania is a hick-town joke... you don't have to get it.)
Anyway, if you look at the bottom, we see GayGod, which is not a porn channel, but Matthew Lush, who also consistently made video and gotten that ~1000 sub to 1,000,000 just this month.
So, that's the basic rundown.
