To be fair, Neil C. got a really early start on Internet entertainment. He was like 14 or thereabouts when he uploaded Hyakugojyuuichi, making more or less everyone else too old, for the rest of time. That video is now older than he was.
For my part, I was fumbling around in Flash a few times in those years but never came up with much to show for it. Although it might be nice if I did, there are many things that did make it online that I am somewhat relieved have been scrubbed thanks to Internet entropy. I don’t put too much stock into that whole “it lives forever on the Internet” thing. You have to be fairly visible, or attract a particular kind of person with an axe to grind, or post in places with unusually long-lived archival for that to be a relevant factor.
And yet I have regrets. One of them being that perhaps I could have benefitted from putting up more of that cringeworthy material, if my head had been in the right place instead of looking for ego strokes.
