YTMND was a website that played a very important role in Internet history and meme culture, bridging the gap between web 1.0 and web 2.0. Although its sound plus image plus text format was very simple, the creative ways people could make more complex ytmnd sites was endless. Its creator, Max Goldberg, was also an early advocate of online free speech, often pushing back against companies that would try to get content removed from the site, citing fair use because most people online knew what that meant. He even got into some early Internet drama with Saved by the Bell’s Dustin Diamond, who was not a fan of a parody website he made that led to the announcement of YTMND.

Never bring a legal claim against a guy whose last name is Goldberg.

Another unoriginal idiot with Earthbound or Bubble Bobble music playing over mediocrity.

YTMND back in the day, in my opinion, was one of the last great giants of the "real" internet. Ebaum's World, YTMND, AlbinoBlacksheep like… All those sites? They were kind of the last breath of the real internet, and things kinda have just been downhill ever since… And getting even worse, faster.

Six years later and the SNES era soundtracks (I ID'd Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 3/6) still slap

It's heartwarming that YTMND has turned into a veteran's hall of old fogies making each other giggle with utter bullshit, in a language that only they understand.

it seems some time in 2020 ytmnd was revived so to speak and you are able to make a new account and it even has a discord

I spent way too much time on YTMND in university, back when I could still feel joy.

ytmnd was how I found Initial D. Loved the song from Lol, Internet, and that led me to Running in the 90s, which led to Initial D
