Honestly can’t really say, maybe 2015?
But I remember seeing some videos about a spore-like game or a future spore 2, something like that.

That quite some time ago. Would probably place you as one of the few people still around from the “early” days of Thrive…

Well I think many people have heard about the game in passing at least, there are a lot of people who still wish for spore 2 after all. I wasn’t involved in the community or anything, just watched youtube videos about it and looked at concept art.
Side note apparently I’m aware now, huh.

The more posts you have, the higher “rank” you get. The highest one atp is ASCENDED.

Unfortunately, the video I was attempting to find became deleted along with the YouTuber’s account.

For me, it was SpikeViper. Then I watched thrive videos from other youtubers. Then I fell into this community where I am now.

You most likely watched most Thrive videos made by “non-thrive” youtubers then…

I wonder how many people will get introduced to Thrive by “Thrive” Youtubers? Also, at what point does a YouTuber play enough of Thrive to be considered a “Thrive” Youtuber?
When Thrive content makes up the majority of the content produced by such “Thrivetubers”…

There’s only been like 2 people who have made weekly Thrive videos. SonOfMowgef is doing that right now and Kinesis used to do that like 3-ish years ago. So I’d consider those to be the Thrive youtubers even if they also make other videos.

Besides them there are also other YTbers who have/are making Thrive content from time to time, like SpikeViper.
