My Actifit Report Card: May 26 2025 - YouTube Star and Artist Jane McWhirter
YouTube is 20 years old now and it's good to check in on early YouTube Stars. Yesterday I wrote about Hot For Words and today I'll feature janemcwhir.
Back in the very very early days of YouTube 20 years ago and for a few years thereafter, there weren't many people on YouTube. Now it is the second most visited site in the world, only bested by Google, which happens to own YouTube now. But in the early years, YouTube was it's own company. It felt like a family and was actually a close knit community where you knew almost everyone. Kind of like here on HIVE!
YouTube didn't even have subscribers in the very early days. But it wasn't long before they added that feature, and then they kept a Most Subscribed list. The janemcwhir channel was on that list of top 100 Most Subscribed YouTubers.
What did Jane do that got so many interested? Jane was Jane. Jane did whatever she wanted to do on her videos. Jane always had artistic proclivity and you could see it in her videos. Here is a very early janemcwhir video, just a minute long. She stares at us for most of it. Then breaks into lip syncing to a song she likes. That's it. But she got plenty of views and comments. More than most of us on here gets. 21K Views. 61 comments.
Get in the time machine and go back with me 1 years. This is what YouTube was like. Weird and Wonderful.

Jane is still around. I connected with her on Facebook the other day. She just was chosen to paint a door in her area, and is an artist with her own website.

Jane has a newer YouTube channel called Jane McWhirter. She did this artistic short movie 5 years ago featuring her sister. I think its very cool!

I was, and I started a blog about it. 😃👍
My Activity
today was chores at home and some food shopping. After that I moved around to some oldies on a Pandora channel I made years ago and haven't been to in years. It was nice to have a customized playlist on Pandora as well as on YouTube. I must have moved around a lot to the music, more than I realized, as I hit a really nice actifit number!
At night I did take a walk in the cool night air. it was just under 60 degrees Fahrenheit and I did have the hoodie on. I went a normal distance so not much of my super number was from this. Most was from grooving to the oldies.
Have a Nice Day, Everyone!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Before you would appreciate more the simplicity, the more natural "acting", now it's all so artificial and pre constructed on videos
Wow! Two decades of YouTube's existence, simply astonishing. I can still remember the first ever video posted by a young teen that year . How time flies...
It's all about making a difference in the world and create something exceptional so that means you are doing well

I started to watch on YouTube around 2006. Haven't heard of her then.
Hopefully YouTube will recognize old YouTubers.
It is amazing to think that YouTube is 20 years old... I am definitely old.
I’m just a few years older than YouTube😅😅
It will be so good to see the early stars of YouTube
Thanks for the videos
