I understand that these videos were made public, but still this kinda feels like violating people’s privacy. They most likely never intended for us all to watch their personal videos a decade later.

It's no different of inadvertently watching your neighbor naked through her window because you happened to look at the wrong time. You know it's wrong but you won't look elsewhere...

i mean i personally look elsewhere, bc getting caught looking would feel really shitty for them probably.

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

There's something magical when one location becomes the default for something. A site like this would be impossible if YouTube wasn't the place for videos.

It's why I'm sad that we no longer have one obvious default for microblogging. It was such a rich source of thoughts. That's all gone now.

Ah, this is where this comes from. There has been rumours flying around in Stable Diffusion / Flux circles that you would get much more realistic pictures when you include a photo id like IMG_0416.

I don’t think it comes from these Youtube videos – Flickr and other photo upload services are a more likely source of training images with default file names.

A little bit tangent, and I'm definitely looking at it from rose colored glasses... but been playing with it for the 30 minutes, and most of the videos look so real? Like when you go on TikTok / Instagram nowadays, there are obviously unlimited amount of content. But there's this sense of everything being edited multiple times, people trying to create their own "brand", nothing looking real. It's a shame how we over-…

Hey, OP here! This is my first ever HN post- I appreciate the warm reception. A couple hours after posting this on my site, I found this incredible vid of a woman telling her partner she’s pregnant. Incredibly heartfelt, and only 16 views https://youtu.be/refKFdcojlE?si=l-PssLVYmmOPjjjA It was posted over 10 years ago. I wonder if the family even knows that this video still exists.

Why does he walk off at the end? Did he still not believe her do you think?

He also said, "My heart just dropped". That's a curious thing to say.

It's from a time before the internet became full of people trying to hurt you.

Wow, I hope there's a similar video platform now, filled with casual everyday videos of normal people, it'll be precious documentation for human kind.

And the former default is no longer developer friendly. (Or friendly to anyone else, really.)
