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 are at a birthday in Ecuador. It's amazing!

Lots of digital cameras use an incrementing number in the filename. If you ignore the prefix part, I wonder what is the most commonly uploaded filename number for photos and videos?

This is genuinely amazing. The complete lack of editing. And strangely some of the videos were allowed to have copyrighted content in the background (meaning ContentID wasn't live or hasn't been retroactively applied) really sells the scene. Like, the last one has Taio Cruz's Dynamite playing in the background. Amazing. The Ea-Nasir Tablet of our time.

>allowed to have copyrighted content in the background

I might be wrong in your specific case, but generally YouTube doesn't just remove videos with copyrighted audio. Often copyright holders instead make it so that the video with their songs will have ads and they'll receive all the ad revenue.

"Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID claims can:

- Block content from being viewed.

- Monetize content by running ads on it and sometimes sharing revenue with the uploader.

- Track the viewership statistics on the content.

Any of these actions can be geography-specific. For example, a video can be monetized in one country/region and blocked or tracked in a different country/region."

For those using firefox's autoplay blocker, http://astronaut.io/ doesn't work at all unless you whitelist it.

There were a time when you could had a 8" tablet on Win8 with People app having a feed from Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin and something else too (Twitter?) In a mere months it was gutted on every side and Windows tablets (rspecially 8" favour) gone the way of DoDo

That was the remnants of windows phone. The people app would automatically sync all of their social accounts for a person.

As Microsoft moved more of those apps out of the inbox image and to the store, the functionality slowly stopped working.

The sunset of windows phone ended the rest of those features.

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.

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.

This makes me hopeful, the internet can still be interesting when we manage to break away from the attention trap of infinite feed and the prepared content designed to optimize likes. Feels like the raw homepages of a long time ago.
