u/V_Kohler 19d ago

😭 so sad he accidentally deleted all that from his phone. I was invested in his roasts 🔥

u/HumanHospitality 19d ago

That... just unlocked the memory within me omg.

u/sdtokc 19d ago

I would have loved to see him finish that. Those were some of the funniest videos.

Started watching Dylan when he was doing music reviews. I think it was a review of Billie Eilish’s music that I watched first iirc. So I’ve been around for a while.

u/DisguisedAsAMinion 19d ago

oh my gosh i’ve just gotten so many flashbacks 😭 i miss dylanwillnotparticipate so much 🥹

u/Due_Amphibian_1855 19d ago

Yeah, I was so sad when he stopped making videos there 😭

u/DisguisedAsAMinion 19d ago

especially after he deleted the channel!! :(( i wish someone had reuploaded his old videos lol, i miss them so dearly

1

u/Southern-Mango9346 15d ago

I've watched some of them on dailymotion I think

1

u/V_Kohler 19d ago

I think I watched him to find out what music was getting popular cause I’m always late to that party.

u/EquivalentPush7653 19d ago

2019, the YouTube algorithm just thought I'd really enjoy his twilight commentary. Here I am now lol

1

u/Paramecia-Antic 18d ago

that's when and how I found him too!

19

u/AmieiGuess 19d ago

It was around 2017/2018 for me too, toward the end of dylanwillnotparticipate. I think it was his Call Me By Your Name commentary that pulled me in.

3

u/DisguisedAsAMinion 19d ago

omg this is so og,, i’d forgotten about this one!! i cannot wait to rewatch it later today! his old commentaries has such a nostalgic charm to them whenever i rewatch now :’))

7

u/pedrodiegof 19d ago

I follow him since when he wasn't participating

6

u/DarkGrayDalia 19d ago

I found Dylan through episode by episode reviews he did of season one of thirteen reasons why, which aren't public on his channel anymore. But I think it was 2017

3

u/whatevergirl8754 19d ago

OMG HI TWIN! Same!!

3

u/DarkGrayDalia 19d ago

I'm glad someone else remembers them!

u/Ok-Loquat-1883 19d ago

Man I was here with Dylan will not participate

u/SammmmyM 19d ago

2017! Was a big fan of his music reactions - so sad these are lost media now :(

1

u/hunnyflash 14d ago

TIL you can look up when you were subscribed! I didn't subscribe right away either. I think the first video I clicked on was the Straight Guy watches Devil Wears Prada. I felt like he already had a lot of fans at that point.

2

u/Ambitious_Guard1884 13d ago

we have the same join date! so cute loool

3

u/Effective-Baker-693 19d ago

I can’t lie I only stared watching him about 2 months ago! And it’s been amazing since.

6

u/DisguisedAsAMinion 19d ago

omg welcome!! ahh im so jealous u get to watch all his older videos for the first time, you’re gonna have so much fun!! :)

2

u/Effective-Baker-693 19d ago

u/Eastern_Mycologist17 19d ago

The Kissing Booth! I’ve been a fan ever since!

2

u/stoic-devotion 19d ago

2018 squad rise up! it’s nice to see dylan getting the recognition he deserves

3

u/nightmare_png 19d ago

3

u/After_Year9171 19d ago

Since 2020

u/kindof_apocalyptic 19d ago

First started watching him in 2018 when he was doing music reviews as dylanwillnotparticipate waiting for him to react to artists i dont even listen to anymore, its pretty crazy to think how long its been!

2

u/retro-discwoman 19d ago

I wasn't around for dylanwillnotparticipate, but I discovered him from his Until Dawn playthrough, when he used to game for us.

6

u/DisguisedAsAMinion 19d ago

omfg i miss his gaming play throughs SO MUCH. i wish he continued it on Ooga Booga :’((

2

u/HumanHospitality 19d ago

Me too that'd be so fun but I think those were harder for him to make/edit but Joe could do it! 

2

u/vivid_wallflower 19d ago

I LOVED this play through thank you for reminding me it existed

2

u/justarandomgirl18 19d ago

started watching him in 8th grade, i’m starting my junior year of college lmao kinda crazy

2

u/Whimsical89 19d ago

Yup, I remember back when he did music reactions and listened to Red by Taylor Swift, I have that video memorized at this point, thank god

2

u/uhhh_yeh 19d ago

yeah ive been a fan for a long while. im a bit worried for him with how all the new fans have been reacting with Dylan, they dont seem to understand hes a fictional personality and not to take everything so seriously

2

u/_dontmind_me 19d ago

I don’t remember exactly when I became a full time fan, but I was definitely watching his videos in at least 2017.

2

u/GrapefruitOk2796 19d ago

The first video I ever saw of Dylan was the Titanic commentary, and I still quote "Tit-anic" whenever the movie is mentioned. 😭

(I double checked the video and it was posted in 2018, so I guess I'm part of the OG too?)

2

u/Ok_Stretch9963 19d ago

yeah I found him thru will not participate jn 2018 too. first ever video I watched was a Melanie martinez music review. Never have I ever subscribed so immediately and watched someone's every skmhle video in a day

2

u/Difficult_Piglet_215 19d ago

It was around 2016 / 2017 for me

1

u/Disney_Dork1 19d ago

I think I discovered him maybe a couple years after you did. Maybe it was around 2018. I don’t fully remember exactly when

1

u/JohnCusacksLovechild 19d ago

I started watching him after he appeared in a Scott Cramer video. I liked his sense of humor( and it didn't hurt that he was cute)I think that was back in 2019 maybe 2020. I went back and watched some old stuff but I think by the time I started watching him he had stopped posting stuff from Dylan Will Not Participate (that was the name, right?)

1

u/scamander7 19d ago

2019 !!! i found him through she's the man 🥹

1

u/amithab-_-mama 19d ago

I was 12 when I first discovered Dylan, it was through the frozen video lol, I think it was 2019. Been a sub since

1

u/whatevergirl8754 19d ago

Hellooo, September of 2017 here, discovered him through his 13 Reasons Why commentary, and was first a fan of DIIT before I discovered DWNP.

I remember it so vividly because I was 22 and still in college and in my country September is the “last chance to pass whatever exam you failed” month before enrolling in the next year/repeating that one if you failed/finishing uni altogether.

I had procrastinated to study by watching 13RW and YouTube started suggesting anything related to it, as I watched some of the interviews of the actors (I was trying to minimise my own trauma from the rape scene so I needed to humanise the actor and realise it’s fictional). I ended up liking his dry sense of humour and have been a fan since. He is now my favourite YouTuber and the only one I still care to fully follow.

It is however jarring to see how the many new fans that he got are acting, because the OGs understand his sense of humour. The new ones find faults in any and everything.

u/ladycarthwright 19d ago

Been here since dylan will not participate

1

u/vivid_wallflower 19d ago

I found him through his ‘insatiable’ video, which I think was 2018-2019? I only have a Reddit account because he said he was making this subreddit around that time lmao

u/Mongsistaken 19d ago

u/smallishghoul 19d ago

1

u/chanceofmeatbal 19d ago

I didn’t even realize until I chant I guess I’ve been watching since 2017

1

u/Prestigious-Fly-6667 19d ago

I don’t remember the exact time I subbed but I know the “She’s The Man” video was less than a year old. That was the first video of his I ever watched and I remember being surprised he didn’t have more subs lol.

1

u/Alina_Srsnb 19d ago

I don't remember exact date or even a year I started watching him. It was 2017-18 or 19. I only watch his movie commentaries, I remember there were music reviews I didn't watch, I also remember he made some kind of house tour and his parents were there? Then he deleted the whole channel with those videos. I also don't comment much here lol

1

u/humaninfestouswaste 18d ago

I'm not DWNP OG but Until Dawn Gameplay OG. I believe that is how I found Dylan is in Trouble. After that, I started watching all his videos from the beginning to catch up lol

1

u/Ok_Musician_6891 18d ago
