YouTube Origins

Today is the day that I joined Youtube as user "KillerPikmin." I would go on to use the channel for nearly two years before getting creatively frustrated with the limitations of the site and moving here. It wasn't until September that I began to post videos. Many of them, at first, were unoriginal things such as songs or television clips. I eventually decided against such postings, and focused on using KillerPikmin as a creative outlet.

In fact, I often began turning to the website in times of boredom or depression. If I started a video, it became my life. And this bizarre addiction-esque approach led my friends to the term "YouTube Hole." As in, "Andrew just crawled out of his YouTube hole." Or "I've been in my YouTube Hole."
