I am sorry for leading everyone on... I thought I was User 42, but I was wrong, lol. My book is wrong.... everything I built my channel over is wrong... For the past 20 years I've been telling people I was more OG than I really was. I want to apologize to everyone for my lies.
I was also not the first comment ever and I could never bring myself to admit it.... but it's the truth.. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/35nqeo/cobaltgruvs_comment_on_me_at_the_zoo_is_not_the/
I have taken my book off Amazon and won't be putting it back up. Stay tuned for "Interesting, 2nd Edition", fixing the historical inaccuracies. Until then, rock on! #COBALTGRUV #FirstBackflip #YouTubeOG

Correction
Today I found out I am not User 42! Lol... Someone sent me this website.... https://tubevault.org/t/incremental_ids
So I tried out what it says... My ID is apparently d9w7SXe87kE lol. As shown on the page source here -- https://web.archive.org/web/20100107124047/youtube.com/user/COBALTGRUV
I used the tool on tubevault.... I am actually not even in the first 50, lol. I am User 62... 🙈
This is the list of the first Youtube users ever... I appear at the bottom lol https://tubevault.org/users#62

This is the first backflip video on Youtube.... Lol.... User 42. Back in 2005, we weren't thinking about going viral. We were just sending it off rooftops for the fun of it. This is where it all started for me....Hope you enjoy the vids...
