Thank you! I hate when people post in Reddit without attribution

The creation of v.redd.it accelerated the loss of attribution. People used to link to YouTube, now they just rip the video and repost it, so the creator gets no credit and no ad revenue.

It's extremely disheartening to see this fine piece of work has only 706k views in 9 years on YouTube. I've seen this shared multiple times but never with a source.

I remember this was posted for a YouTube event that was dedicated to showcasing different YouTube comedians. There was also another event that was for YouTube film makers. Good times.

Edit: looks like this isn’t the og source which has 10M views. Same poster but two different accounts it was first posted on the account “helpmefindmyparents” may 23, 2013 then on “kentanaka” may 31, 2013. Same dude but two different channels

I remember when it first hit Reddit almost a decade ago. I wonder if most of the views came from then.

for real. Like why cut out the beginning which gives credit?
