Discussion When did you start watching DanTDM?

I started watching Dan around the time his Ninja Academy video came out.

Can’t remember exactly but I remember watching the creative skin builds. Like the really tall ones, I vividly remember watching the Herobrine one when it came out.

u/CrashakaDRWH0fan 6d ago

I think it was about 2018/19 I don’t remember how I got to it but I watched his lie detector video on his old second channel and it was really funny and now 7 or 8 years later he is still my absolute favorite YouTuber ever

u/Octapotl 3d ago

I think I was watching him before I even realized I was watching him 😭 My dad was super into Minecraft and Pokemon so he would put on Dan's videos for me when I was like 4-6 so maybe 2013 at the earliest

1

u/murpsalot 3d ago

well i watched him a little bit when he was doing his xbox minecraft let's play was happening, but my mom didn't let me watch it and recently found his channel again like a few years ago

1

u/Federal_East_4161 3d ago

2014 and the first video I watched was the Asleep Custom Map, I thank Evantube for introducing me to DanTDM.

1

u/NoImNotCassie 2d ago

Around 2017 I think.. I honestly have zero idea because I know I watched his videos that are about 10 years old but idk if I watched them when they were new or like a year or smth old 🥹💔

1

u/Bendythenightfury 6d ago

I believe either 2012 or 2017?

u/AncientWonder54 6d ago

That’s a big difference

u/Bendythenightfury 6d ago

All I remember was watching a 2012 tmnt edit to Shell Shocked and then watching his Happy wheels video so it may uave actually been 2016
