And Angry Birds.
Used to have a raspberry pi + small hdmi screen on a shelf, and it would randomly play these raw uploads 24/7, new video every 2 minutes. It was fun to encounter random home movies all day. Very hard to maintain due to use of YouTube-dl, plus legacy search API that I was eventually kicked off of after unsuccessfully arguing for my continued use as an art project. My version searched for 4-5 different camera prefixes…

I just opened it in incognito in Chrome on Android noticed that the YouTube videos continue playing without interruption even when I switch to another tab or minimize chrome altogether and switch to another app. how can we harness this power to play our favorite audio tracks in background (without any ads to boot ... shhh don't tell Google) I also notice that the website triggers a browser warning when loading that i…
There are browsers extensions for this. I can't recommend one because I don't use this anymore. On Android this would mean using Firefox or another browser allowing extensions. Or you can give a YouTube address to MPV with the --no-video parameter. Or use NewPipe or one of its forks and open the YouTube kink with it in audio only mode.

It’s sad that only Google can (and honestly a bit surprising that Google hasn’t) use multimodal video models to index the semantic contents & transcripts of these videos for search. Huge long tail of unique content.
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.
