The Unedited Past: Why YouTubers Keep Their First Videos

Why Popular YouTubers Don't Delete Their Old, Low-Quality Videos and What We Can Learn From It

It's interesting to observe how popular YouTubers choose to keep their old, low-quality videos up for the world to see, even when they could easily take them down. At first glance, it might seem like a puzzling choice; why keep something that could be considered embarrassing or "foolish"?

But upon deeper reflection, there's a certain authenticity and vulnerability in that decision. Those old videos serve as a testament to their journey, a digital archive of their growth and evolution. It's a reminder to both the creator and the audience that success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time, effort, and yes, even a few missteps along the way.

Moreover, these "foolish" videos can be incredibly relatable to viewers who are just starting out on their own journeys. They offer a sense of hope and realism: "If they started from this point and achieved so much, maybe I can too."

In a world that often prioritizes polished, curated content, there's something refreshingly honest about keeping one's humble beginnings visible. It's a nod to the human aspect of content creation, an acknowledgment that we all start somewhere, make mistakes, learn, and hopefully, grow.

So, while it may be tempting to hit that 'delete' button on our past, perhaps there's value in embracing it instead. After all, it's a part of who we are and how we got to where we are today.
