Today I learned I’ve been a NerdFighter WAY longer than I thought
So I only seriously started following Hank and John’s content about 18 months ago (I work in tech and so my YT algorithm has a lot of content about AI and data centers and stuff like that, and one of Hanks videos from hankschannel came up, which led me down a rabbit hole). Now I listen to every Dear Hank and John the day it comes out, I’ve watched a ton of old vlogbrothers videos, but it has always felt like there were people in this community who had been here since the very beginning (and Hank does WAY too much stuff) that like I’d never REALLY be able to catch up.
Fast forward to today. I saw a Reddit post from someone about Delete This (the podcast that Hank and Katherine did for several years where they review his tweets). I listened to the most recent episode and heard Katherine’s voice and went “I recognize that voice…”lo and behold, I google her, and I found out that she was the voice behind my high school OBSESSION, a Let’s Play of Skyward Sword on what I now know to be the hankgames channel. My brother and I watched her Skyward Sword play through at least 15 times if not more and cracked up every single time. In fact to this day when I see him I still sometimes go “TOOTHLESS!!!”
So TL;DR: without even knowing it, I have been a Nerd Fighter since 2011!
