“They would even collab… on a dope pic” 😂😂

I literally didn't know a SINGLE one of those kids...

Rest in peace: Jimmy’s parkour videos

Things like this are in danger of being lost and forgotten without videos like this, which would be a terrible shame, since this is history. It'd be a huge mistake to dismiss this as trivial and unworthy of serious historians' attention just because it isn't some major political stuff. Like it or not, this is a part of our cultural history. The exact same with things in the past that were dismissed as trivial or trashy but are now seen as having an impact on later things, like pulp magazines in the early 20th century, or early computer games a while later.

Isn't this just essentially what was happening on Myspace before everyone jumped ship to Facebook? Sonny Moore (Skrillex) was essentially the most famous kid on Myspace before he even got into Music.

Holy shit, I wiped this era from my memory.

I completely forgot about Facebook Famous people - this brought back sooo many weird memories haha

Great video Jimmy! Speaking of the early 2010s, how about a video on the rise and end of the ‘Big Fat Gypsy’ craze? It started with the weddings and ended with the dale farm incident from my memory.

I have been on Facebook since 2009, but never heard of almost all of these people. Have I done everything right or wrong? No idea..

I remember this era so well. Attending 'Leeds meet' at Hyde Park in Leeds. Everyone dying over them. Kane Larkin sex tape getting posted. What a wild time!

I remember this era of the internet. I knew people who were “Facebook famous”

I had no idea about these people but Mr. Giant knows how to tell fascinating stories.

I think it all comes back to anything you do doesn't really matter in the long run. The world keeps turning without you.

I disliked these kids for the same reasons I disliked Charlie Brown: They all hate each other including themselves. There wasn't money in it, so what was their payment? Narcissistic supply.

This is such a great video. It covers a time no one really (or wants) to go back to. But those of us who are like 23 to 26 or so now remember the Facebook famous era. Influencers before influencers if you will

Why do all these Facebook influencers look like they got diagnosed with depression off a Buzzfeed quiz or something similar ?

So glad you did this, no one seems to remember it!

The severe hate that Kane Larkin got was actually insane, I remember him being harassed by people in the street😐 it was disgusting behaviour
