  1. The time period where this happened was a pretty bad time for India and most other non western countries apart from japan. i think even in the year 2000 less than 1% of the Indian population owned a pc. i didn't see any Indians online until around 2010. there where already a lot of people from eastern Europe and Latin America with internet access in the early 2000s .nowadays India has come a long way so they can have more success making good software.

  2. Everyone wanted to become some kind of socialist back in this time period. i think the worst time to start a new country was the cold war.

  6.  @thebestevertherewas  Yea i am from Belgium and people who speak Dutch prefer to watch stuff in English the few Dutch speaking YouTubers that exist are lame or not very active. but other countries are not like this when i was in Germany nobody could understand English. even in smaller countries like Slovakia they all watch local stuff.

  8. Europeans always get left out. this video came out around 02:00 here i have noticed European youtubers always upload in the night even those that don't speak english and have no viewers in different time zones. while Americans often upload in the early morning right after they wake up. live streaming is dead between 5:00 and 20:00 in this time zone. only asians are streaming in that period and even they only start when its around 12:00 here and most of them don't speak English anyway.

  9. west European countries didn't care about innovating japan tried but came short. the rest of the world was stuck with some form of socialism or other huge problems that stopped them from making computers until 1990 when everything was already standardised.
