This is actually a really cool way to explore an area via videos. Some of the videos aren't really related, but keep clicking and you'll get one. Great tool!

I believe it's showing you videos created by someone at the location you click, not showing you videos with content based on where you click.

I live too near Washington DC to get anything but global politics out of this.

EDIT: actually, it's been videos from Russia Today 3 times out of 4.
