The Internet is Good?

There are so many stories of the internet being a horrible scary place.  And it is!  But here is a story that shows the internet does know how to do good things as well.

There is a young boy that makes YouTube videos about dinosaurs.  He uses a diorama and posts short videos.  He had something like 20 subscribers and someone on Reddit posted about this kid making cool videos.   That post on Reddit took off, found its way to the front page and today the kid has over 70,000 subscribers to his videos.  The comments are overwhelmingly positive and encouraging him to keep doing what he loves.

Here is a video he made yesterday as his subscribers started to climb:
The next part is that another user of Reddit identified another young kid that was an original subscriber to the first dino-kid.  The internet has now started encouraging and showing some love to this kid.  Here's a video of that kid congratulating his friend on his success:

Like most everything on the internet, this love and attention will be short lived, but it's cool to see these boys getting some positive attention and affirmation for doing what they love - making videos about dinosaurs.
