YouTube at its purest.

Elderly YouTuber writes his subscribers down in a notebook, then thanks them individually

We've found it, folks: the purest YouTube channel on the internet.

Nilson Izaias is a senior citizen who loves to post stories about the flowers and fruits in his garden. In December, Nilson decided to write all of his subscribers down in a notebook, then thank them individually in a video.

The only problem? His channel appears to have exploded as a result. Nilson now has over 897,000 subscribers.

I'm not sure how he will get through his hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but he's trying. At the end of January, Nilson had just 1,862 followers. Now, he's approaching 900,000.

That's a lot of composition notebooks to fill.

Since the original post, Nilson has made multiple thank you videos, all of them equally uplifting.

This is YouTube Xanax, folks. This is the pure shit. I'm high. It makes me feel like people are good again.

Why would you watch Logan Paul fart for clicks when you can watch human gratitude in action? He's a Mary Oliver poem reimagined as a senior citizen YouTuber. Even his comments section is full of gentle strangers thanking Deus for him.

You don't need to be fluent in Portuguese to enjoy this kind of content. I highly recommend you check out his other videos, including such critically acclaimed hits as "Me having breakfast in the morning" and "Bird singing in my backyard."

I'm currently making my way through his psychological thriller slime-making series. My favorite episode is made to be watched on a loop: "My slime worked. I got here this time. I made my dream my friends."

I saw the dream my friends. I think it's this channel.
