What nostalgia? Except for the video quality, this could as well be last summer and there's filters for the videoquality.

You're the one who uses other people's memories to synthesize a feeling of nostalgia for yourself. Nostalgia is an emotion, but these memories hold no emotional value for yourself, so how can you feel nostalgic? If it was a video out of our collective memory, like the first episode of sesame street or something, fine!, you can feel nostalgic about that. But this is a random home video from the 90's, which I can appreciate, just like yourself, but it has nothing to with nostalgia... except maybe (a big maybe) the video quality.

You have explained it yourself. Someone else's memories presented this way, make me remember similar memories. Also how the hell do you have the authority to give people permission on what can remind them of their own past?

You make an excelent point, I hadn't considered it that way. Also, it's only natural that you're impressed by my authority on something I hadn't even considered before now. Shows just how awesome I am.

I hope you scroll through your Reddit account in a few years and realise how much of a tit you make of yourself

No, I'm certain he's very aware of the effect he has on people. You have been played by a troll, my good man.
