=== The Yikes Wave === The beginning of 2025 saw a massive spike in users and activity on the site in large part because of the YouTuber Yikes joining and making a video documenting his time on the site called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d5xOZfXAR4 "I Went Viral On The Worst YouTube Knockoff"], released on December 31st, 2024. This unforeseen jump in userbase caused a massive strain in terms of the video queue to the point of uploading being shut down for a few days in order to process the large amount of videos and user backlash regarding the large amount of young kids coming onto the site from the Yikes video, with amongst other things uploading meme videos that clashed with the old-school aesthetic of the site.
