All social media have to be walled gardens or be free-prey for ravenous AI bots. Evolution at work.

or be free-prey for ravenous AI bots Have you recently been on X?

I think your parent comment is talking about AI bots consuming the content, while you seem to be making a point about AI bots posting content.

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.

The first one I clicked on was similarly heartwarming - it's just a video of an ultrasound, zooming in on the heartbeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_N4rAauRvU

Very heartwarming. I have an "android named" video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, and because there is copyrighted background music going on (which I didn't realize at the time) YouTube is threatening to delete it. I don't know if they will or not, not sure when they put the "will delete" tag on it. My late wife is in it. She died recently. I didn't know that video was still up there until I read your post. And…

If you can send me the link I will happily rip it from YouTube for you and send it to you via any method you prefer. Sorry for your loss.

From my notes. Maybe it's useful to someone. Not comprehensive as there are other brands and other iterations I'm sure. Many dpreview.com sample galleries show original filenames. Some forums list filenames, youtube descriptions can list model names, pdf manuals and manufacturer websites sometimes list the names. There isn't really a good list of these that I know of.

> YouTube automatically removes harmful or violent content, so what remains exists in a unique, almost paradoxical state: forbidden, yet harmless.

What exactly is forbidden, by who? I don't get the use of that word there.

Also, anyone who doesn't know the "before" and "after" search operators is missing out on some excellent nostalgia-trawling similar to what is described here.

  "cat before:2007" -> 2005 to 2007, the OG cat videos
  "skateboard before:2010" -> yes
  "assange interview before:2016" -> then filter for longer videos
  "parkour after:2009 before:2015" -> parkour videos from 2009 to 2015

Some time ago there was a website that showed you a random YouTube video. Like truly random. The biggest discovery to me was that a typical video has 0-1 views, nearly always I believe the website tried to find videos with least bias possible by doing some clever searches using YouTube API (so not just videos titled IMGXXXX). Maybe it was trying to do partial matches on video ID.

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-…

There's definitely a lack of authenticity these days.

I was on the park the other day and there were these two dudes and one was filming the other walking and talking to the camera. They'd look at the shot and then he'd walk back and do it again and again. Multiple times.

I've also seen people talking regularly to their friends and then suddenly go into "influencer mode" and yell "tell us what you think in the comments! :kissy_face:" then go back to regular talk like nothing happened.

The word "cringey" is overused but it feels like such an inhuman behaviour and so weird to see live. Like the person just suddenly got possessed by some entity other than themselves.

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 were a bunch of subreddits based on obscure videos with default filenames. https://old.reddit.com/r/IMGXXXX/

There is / was also r/DeepIntoYoutube which was dedicated to good videos that only had a handful of views.

It reminds me of this grandma that played Skyrim for ages but never had any views, but thanks to one of these discover pages, she got a following of tens of thousands.
