What I mean by this is that we’ve reached a point where you can see a Youtube video shot in 2017 and it’s not immediately obvious the footage you’re seeing is almost a decade old. In 2017 you would’ve immediately been able to tell a video was from 2009 just from the video and audio quality alone

Youtube often recommends me random old animal videos and it’s a weird feeling when you look at a dog in a video that looks like it was shot yesterday and then at the upload date nearly 10 years ago and realise the dog’s probably dead as shit

Of course, this doesn’t account for cultural temporal signifiers like someone making an Amogus reference or something but it’s still something I sometimes like to think about
