The golden era of YouTube ended when it was bought out by Google in 2006.

Ten years ago, YouTube was just a very popular video hosting service, with videos that were not made for profit but for entertainment. Videos were made by fans for fans, by enthusiasts for other enthusiasts, and they were quality. Regarding the football vids, they were a perfect blend of action and music, paced well and with well designed rhythm.

I used to go on YouTube to watch compilations of my favorite footballers, and back then the content wasn't restricted or monitored for intellectual property breaches. Those compilations were fantastic for the reasons above.

Today's youtube is just trash.
