yeah definitely! and, if you have plans for MFF or FWA, would be neat to hang out and talk shmups - I was supposed to be VGR staff at FWA but couldn't make it this year

Okay, that's the real end of the thread. That's everything I've got. Thanks for paying attention to this at all lmao

There are *hundreds* of YTP Tennis matches on YouTube and I just think it was some of the most interactive and creative stuff that not many YTP fans actually knew about.

I am very thankful to my younger self for liberally using my favorites playlist bc these videos have basically no traffic. YTP Tennis packed more content and editing into short, often sub-1min "rounds" than most longer-form videos, and it was great. (3/3)

by making a video with a certain number of sources, and depending on the rules of the match, their opponent would further edit these sources, add their own, and basically create their own iteration. Shit got very, very weird. (2/3)

Nope, nevermind, I realized I missed an entire and very important section of my thread - YTP Tennis was a subgenre that exploded within the community but the videos never made it far outside into the wider sphere. Basically, one creator would challenge another to a match (1/3)
November 16, 2025 at 4:46 PM
a comprehensive documentary or history of the community one day by someone more qualified, because a lot of it took place off YouTube itself and I was never a part of that, but just being a fan is my contribution, I guess. /endthread

has always been rather inside humor among me and a very small circle of friends. Hopefully you've seen something worthwhile in all these old experimental videos. I think YTP is Very Important to Internet History and should be praised and archived. I'd love to see (X/X)

I'd love to chat about it sometime, these really are a little more formative to my internet and irl persona & tastes than i like to think, so...apologies? if this whole thread comes off as unhinged or irrelevant to literally anything, i just wanted to share some stuff that (X/X)
November 16, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Well, I hope you enjoyed! I am a little aurally exhausted after this thread and I honestly can't imagine making it through the whole thing at once so I hope you took it easy. Everyone had different YTP experiences and got into and out of it at different times, and (X/X)

and another creator that deleted their videos from youtube but that i had actually personally saved because FFXII content was my entire life back then. I absolutely still quote these. (temporary links)

HON. MENTIONS: this creator took everything off youtube, but I was v glad to discover it had been backed up on TIA. I literally discovered Skrillex through this first video so i kinda owe them a lot: (tw epilepsy)

at first i was surprised that a lot of these creators ended up in the fandom even well after the golden age but honestly it makes sense.

and now we enter the "modern era" - cleaner editing, sentence mixing, quality of video higher than 240p, etc. Well-known creators like this one and more started making content, but again, no names sorry <3

before we move on, I'd like to introduce MADs, or the JP/NicoNicoDouga version of YTP which were generally more musical and had noticeably "higher quality" editing
