How are people finding the video ids? Even the developer console doesn't seem to show any URLs with parameters that lead to the videos

#114Everyone keeps saying they saw such beautiful things I just got stuck watching a guy eat an entire jar of mayonnaise without stopping [EDIT] Just realized that the websockets that fuel the video transitions are suffering the same 503s as the other assets — so the feed 503'd, and I got stuck on an unending, non-changing video of a guy looking into the camera as he ate so, so much mayonnaise.
I got the mayonnaise guy as well!
Link! This is useless without a link!

#115I feel like this would be good stimulation for artists or anyone trying to be creative.

As someone who regularly searches IMG_0123 to see things like "mayonnaise man" before astronaut.io existed: you must share the link to the video. There's no excuse for the lack of a link. Also, this service does not work with iOS, which is a shame.
You can't link, since whoever made this site disabled any and all controls on the videos. Even the youtube button in the corner is blocked off.
This is one of the most evil implementations of video embedding i've ever seen.

#118I am increasingly at odds with the concept of curation. Youtube, Netflix, Google News, Facebook and many other web portals increasingly try to serve what "suits me" using sophisticated algorithms, but what if I don't want that? Every traveller knows that the best trips are those that you didn't really plan that much, which end up being an adventure. If you are driven by curiosity the unexpected is a blessing. For thi…
I've been thinking of this problem ever since Google started serving up different search results for each person (which was a whole lot of years ago).
Sure in the beginning it adapts (according to some unknown algorithm) to what you feed it (in best case scenario who you are). I would however suggest that most people here are like me in that they every day try to learn and become less of an idiot, and thus incrementally grow as a person. I'm not the same person I was 10 years ago, and if I can't control how services see me (through my 10 year old history of my accounts), it will try to reinforce the me from 10 years ago, instead of showing me incrementally different results for the me I want to be tomorrow.
I'm sorry if this rant is confusing, I'm not sure how to coherently convey what I mean, but I'll try a TLDR;
If services only show you results/content based on how you were before, and force you onto a straight path (or rather, not even moving forward), isn't that what gets people stuck in echo chambers with only reinforcing information, never challenged, never growing?

#119There's a subreddit for a pretty similar concept: https://www.reddit.com/r/IMGXXXX/

#120Good site, but don't you think it's a tad sleazy to use these people's videos without at least letting us click-through to their YouTube channel? I mean it's the absolute least you could do to give them due credit.
In my opinion, not having a way to get to the videos and channels of the video creators might even be the more sensible choice, since with a site such as this, people can inadvertedly have a video become viral for possibly embarassing reasons and get their accounts bombarded, become the bad kind of internet famous (meme status) etc.
Just look at one of the comments up top wanting to get a link to a guy eating a jar of mayo...
