YouTube wasn't around for half of the mid-2000s.
It was launched in 2005... literally mid 2000 when delineated by decade
And it beat television, because funny videos could swear freely, or use any song as a gag, without it being a big deal.
God dammit.
Right, so it existed in the latter half of the decade, not in a span of time covering the whole middle.
If the "mid-2000s" were to cover, say, the four years 2003-2006, YouTube would have existed for half of that - not 2003 or 2004, but 2005 and 2006.
