The Brotherhood 2.0 concept of misprinted business cards needs to come back in 2025 in the form of niche merchandise that will only make sense if you are aware of the first three months of chaotic Vlogbrothers history. I know that businesses are for making money and that things like business cards cost money to make, but it's the 20th anniversary of this channel in a few years. Capitalize on it -- literally!
But even if that does not happen, at least you have read my idea and have continued to read on for the latest installment of Vlogbrothers Rewatch! This is an ongoing series of articles in which I document my daily journey through the entire back catalog of Vlogbrothers YouTube videos. Using this playlist, I'm watching everything from the beginning in chronological order. And today we're apparently discussing business cards and how to make paper cubes out of them.
There are entire social media accounts dedicated to crafts made from seemingly useless things now -- and things like them probably existed in some form before YouTube. Of course, you could also just recycle things that you no longer have a use for that can be recycled, but that wouldn't be a good way to create content, now would it? Unless you were all about recycling. Those accounts exist too.
This reminds me of the summer in high school I possibly became a little too fixated on the environment and eco-friendly topics, which I can't say for sure wasn't because of Hank Green's old website. I learned a lot that summer! I still recycle! But I could do better. We could all probably do better at many things if it wasn't so hard to keep ourselves and the people we love alive.
I'm going to give myself an award for figuring out how to turn a business card cube tutorial into an article with substance. Over 10 years in journalism really does pay off in strange ways.
