For the first couple of years, there was a 10 minute limit to video uploads. (Apparently introduced in 2006 to curb unauthorized uploads of TV shows, but a long enough for SNL sketches.) Most of your 2009 column are converted flash animations, gifs, and viral web videos. The last one which generally had to be short since they were being served directly from web pages.
In 2010 the length cap was raised to 15 minutes. Longer for some users as the era of the "Youtuber" emerged. The tools and workflow got increasingly accessible to produce pretty-damn-good if not "professional" videos, and release it to the world. The traditional entertainment networks were no longer gatekeepers. And viewers got to decide who to make famous, no matter how unphotogenic or cringe.
