Louis Rossmann has a video on it, too.

I have grown up with 32kb/sec downloads youtube has no power here.
The good old days of opening several tabs of a movie that was cut into small pieces so they would load while you did something else.
I still hate that you can't just buffer a whole video up by clicking play then pause then doing something else for half an hour.
I used to do that all the time back when I was a teenager hijacking my neighbour's wifi signal. One of the things I miss most about early youtube.
