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…

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. Or use invidious, but this last option is harder and harder to use. Or yt-dlp -x to download the audio of course.

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?

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...

True but I would probably not share her naked video on HN

It’s more like you’re continually checking hundreds of windows, just in case it happens…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For me, the YouTube embed player wants a login: “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot.” (iPhone Safari) The Ea-Nasir tablet is in a museum, but at least I can see pictures of it without giving my personal information to a multi-trillion dollar corporation.

Do you use iCloud Private Relay? YouTube gives that message and Google requires a CAPTCHA for web searches very often when iCloud Private Relay is enabled.

No, I don’t have that enabled.

I'd love a tech write up from the YouTube folks starting from when someone was wondering "Why is all this data waking up from the lukewarm storage layer today lmao" opens HN "ah ok"

this is what youtube and reddit was like during 2011. it was calm, serene, accepting, warm, human. it was just this perfect mixture of user friendliness, people knowing how to type and use computers and just before the internet was taken seriously by anyone and corrupted by money. before social media became a serious political consideration. i remember very clearly that even at the time it felt too good to be true. t…

You're speaking of a world that doesn't exist. Even back then people were trying to make money out of YouTube.

>Even back then people were trying to make money out of YouTube

It's a matter of degree. Early YouTube was much closer to what the parent poster describes than the YouTube of today.

When I first discovered YouTube and uploaded videos, the thought of making money (let alone making a living) was nowhere in my mind.

I love the rawness of this. I've noticed I tend towards a feeling of everyone else in the world being so alien, living some totally different incomprehensible life from mine. (Or more than I'm the alien, and everyone else is living a normal, enviable life.) Seeing little snapshots like these, most of them seemingly just for memory's sake, makes me feel a little more human. Hard to get on any social media, where there's also some curation going on.
