How often do people really share a video on reddit, Twitter, etc.? That option has always amused the shit outta me

I have a few feelings about this that I'm gonna repost from a year-old comment I made in /r/jakeandamir :

As J&A concludes and the articles venture into listicle territory, I don't see myself visiting CH as often.

This isn't meant to be a Monday Blast of CollegeHumor, if anything it's the opposite. I have infinite respect for their website and the way they have grown and adapted their online presence. I've seen them go from This picture (not the original) being the symbol of the website to videos like this resonating with a wider audience. The entire CH staff — past and present — represents a strong commitment to original, current content that reaches so many people in so many different ways.

I just don't find it as funny anymore. It's a combination of the departure of familiar faces and the precision of each video in regards to myself. Gandhi does Yoga doesn't relate to me as much as We Didn't Start the Flame War did when I first saw it. The site reaches people for whom Yoga is a large part of their life and that's a great thing, but I'm not one of them.

The phrase I'm skirting around here is "it's just not my CollegeHumor anymore." But to be perfectly honest with myself it isn't, and that's okay. It's sort of like a quote from Every YouTube Video Ever,

Once you turn sixteen and a smart enough to stop watching my videos, someone else turns twelve and wants to hear me scream about ♫Justin Bieber♫

Barring the "smart enough" part of that, it's a pretty accurate representation of how I feel about CollegeHumor. I feel the ride ending as my site visits decline, but I'm grateful for everything it's brought me and it's existence in a web largely filled with shit.

I deserve so much more than this.
