The oldest people on YouTube?

[Gaijillionaire]

of course there's thousands of kids on YouTube and I'm including everyone under 40 as a kid. I know there's a few people older than me here but stil no one is at retirement age. So it makes me wonder are there people in their 70s or 80s doing YouTube videos? It could be kind of cool hearing stories from the old days and seeing old film and photos too. Maybe fewer older folks understand how YouTube works but they'd have free time to create. So anyone know?

I know these 3. I think they're over 40. They might be around 60-70? I'm assuming, I'm not sure.

That's awesome!! It's like gramma grandpa and an uncle!

Aha~ yes you could say that I guess. But I really do like Grand Illusions, been watching that channel for about 2-3 years already.

Cool. I just picked 40 as an even number that any one 18 would say is old. But there's a big difference if 40 and 70. Still cool to see this. They used be cool and with it in their day

Shirley Curry is in her 80's.

Sadly, I don't think she's with us anymore, but a woman named Clara used to do cooking videos about the Great Depression: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRKls2LLMqU-uK2csT6FOKw

Just wait 7 years and I'll be 40. 7 years should be nothing for someone your age.

The was a "rapper grandma" on TV a few days ago, the morning show I believe. She's in a retirement home, and she raps others' lyrics. She's also working on her own lyrics. Don't remember the channel name though...

Just for your interest, I will soon be 83 . . . At the moment I have over 200 vids on You Tube, but most are 'Unlisted' as they contain the tricks of my trade. Pete.
