MODERATORS
The one on the left is an album cover and that style was very popular in the 2000s. Especially in cheesy sci-fi shows (looking at you Stargate Atlantis…)
The one on the right though, that’s just what cell phone and cheap digital camera pictures looked like when you posted them on MySpace.
I think you're left/right ~~confused~~ good at. The left one is the cover of the Evanescence album Fallen from 2003. The one on the right is Boxxy.
I was there Gandalf.
She is not trolling, she is Boxxy you see?
Man, what happened to that girl? Hope she's doing okay, former internet stardom can be tough
I seem to recall she hosted some web show for at least a while, but not as her boxxy persona. She seemed well adjusted.
Yeah it was called Weird Gross Beautiful under the Discovery umbrella

Then moved to another channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0q-1t9bVnpPVzi-kSHnEzDPvx9f9GKqy
She's still around, and looks relatively normal online:

Whats a bit amusing is that abpit 10 years seperated Evanacence at their peak and Boxxy. These really are not even from the same "era".
That's Boxxy, and you don't use that adjective for Boxxy. That's prob 480p early YouTube.
I recognized her, but for the record most cheap digital cameras in the 2000s up to and including the original iPhone were VGA standard resolution which is 640x480. So everything was 480p back then.
boxxy lives on in my heart
Yeah 1.2 megapixel cameras were the norm for a bit. The processing power to stabilize and focus fix all our slight movements people don't think about now with newer phones all came through.
Stabilization, focus 🤣
You held that shit still and lived with infinite DOF
In wich hand do you wear your watch?
I’m dyslexic… hang on I’ll fix it…
No worries, I guessed it was funny mistake, nothing else
You wear your watch in your hand?
The files are in the computer.
