That felt weird to me but I looked it up and wow, there sure was seven months of youtube during the Macromedia era. Youtube... powered by Macromedia......
Wait it was Macromedia even by the time youtube started? That brings be back.
i only know cuz i was so into shockwave games, of which i only remember a single game series of some australian character i think???? i literally can't remember anything other than that, and youtube
Apparently it's on Steam now?? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1723190/Lenny_Loosejocks_Goes_Walkabout/
there is also a sequel, lenny in space, also on steam, and the site has a bunch of spinoffs too if you know how to make your browser play shockwave games
adobe shockwave flash to watch funny videos on the internet... are you fucking shitting me?
Wow, I don’t remember it with YouTube specifically but I definitely remember video on the web being called “Flash video”.
And then Netflix upended everything by using Microsoft Silverlight…
There was an API that let you embed and control YouTube videos from within Flash things! I toyed with making a tool for building laserdisc-style FMV reflex games based on YouTube videos and I'm still sad I never finished it
