    "it'll never be as good as YouTube" Yes, that's a fact
  • @cafeiz
    Yes, I remember using and watching musically with my friends, now Tik tok took over.
  • @JanaSFM
    Man.. I remember using musically when I was like 8 or 9. I made some weird stuff back then, I wish I downloaded those videos before musically was turned into tiktok. I just want to look back at those videos and laugh at them, just to remember how I used to act and look like when I was younger.

    "It'll never be as good as youtube" Nick's gonna make a whole TikTok vs YouTube series at this rate
  • @kateb1127
    I remember Musically, when I was in 4th grade there even was a competition about it in my school (long story). Many people who use TikTok don't even know that Mysically ever existed. Honeslty, it was better, no stupid challanges, no toxic community... Eh...

    I’ve never used Tik Tok, and will never use it as it’s not really my style. The fact it began as a personal website is the coolest thing about Tik Tok’s history. I never expected such a large platform to start out that way
  • @amyhhughes5584

  • @MrPuzzleCodes
    I remember when i was making musically videos when i was like 9 and didnt have to worry about being cringe. Good times :')
  • @thespacenerd669
    I used to use musically before it changed to tiktok it wasn’t very popular back when I used to use it but you used to be able to message people and there was a few problems but I preferred it back when it was musically
  • @FieldCatKaiju12
    I remember my older sister was using musically when she was 9 in 2014 and i was 3 but now i thought tiktok was copying musically and in present year this actually blows up and my memories were ruined
  • @mr.goodman3991
    0:56 the girls in my class used to make videos on Musically constantly, sometimes the rest of the class would join. everyone in my school knew what musically was, and one day, the app just disappeared, and a new one called tiktok appeared.
  • I wonder if the original people of tiktok ever thought that their wholesome family journal page turned into whatever random stuff is on tiktok now
  • @BeatEvanYT
    I missed musically, I used it when I was little and it was so fun. But TikTok nowadays has clears throat clout chasers, Cringe people, Meme abusers, Terrible content, “kids”, Very disturbing stuff, Copyrighted music, inappropriate 18+ videos.
  • @cfn6742
    I love how he put “(Musically?)” in the title, like I’m pretty sure everyone remembers Musical.ly
  • @SyazHikari_Mlbb
    I’ve seen musical.ly before in 2017 but I hate how they change it to TikTok.
  • @dabohdsta
    2:34 the internet was made in the 1990s. Which is why the earliest snapshots on the wayback machine were in the 1990s
  • @artpenguinharry
    So, based on the research I did, Scott and Tomoko are a couple possibly living in Northern California. Their son, Kai could also be around somewhere.
  • @telephone9272
    Ahhh I miss the days where I would just hang out with my friends and watch some musically, I liked it better
