You are probably technically correct on this (the best kind of correct!), I just didn't recall that detail from any of his retellings of the channel origin that I've listened to, and, although I interacted with The Dick Show Facebook group occasionally at the time, my personal awareness of him didn't happen until after his original lolsuit video came out.Just to be super pedantic, this isn't quite correct. If my memory serves, he started his youtube channel prior to what most consider the start of his channel to upload gaming stuff but it was only intended for him and his friends; he returned to and started seriously using his channel at the time you indicated.
I only know this because he mentioned he nuked his old vidoes sometime I want to say either during or shortly prior to weebwars. I don't know why that factoid stuck out to my brain but it did. It's probably not worth hunting down the clip unless people really like skimming video transcripts.
I do recall him explicitly saying that the only reason he posted that original video to Youtube was because Facebook, where the core of the Dick Show fans were, couldn't support long enough videos. Totally makes sense he would have repurposed his original YT channel to do so.
Nick would be a very different man today if Zuckerberg's crew was a little more competent back then...
