September 5, 2009. I will be one year old. Or, to be more precise, DeBenson91's YouTube channel will be one year old. I had NO idea what I was getting into a year ago! I had just bought this laptop and I liked going to youtube and watching fuuny videos.
At first, I didn't know you could create a channel or comment or any of that. One video was so good, I saw the comments area and had to post a comment. Youtube said I needed to make a channel so DeBenson91 was created. A few weeks later, I made a simple video showing one of my cats called "Jubilee Being Jubilee". After that, I got hooked.
It's funny to look at my early videos, they are almost embarrasing, just stills put together. Then came graphics, then a took a bold step (for me) and put myself in them. Along the way, something weird happened. I started to make online friends from all over the world. It became less about my vids and more about what my buds were up to. I've lost some good friends. Naythandude2200 in Ireland vanished. Cwackies in Canada stopped making vids. But more online friends came along. I check my channel every day and love getting comments and messages and commenting on my friend's vids.
So now I have 200 subscribers. I've had two haters, one stalker, and a vid that took 2 weeks to make (The Time Warp) has over 1,000 views. It's been a wild ride so far. I can't begin to guess what it will be like when I'm 2!!
