    That's interesting. I have a quimgr which is Quick Imgur, an Android fast uploader for media. I'd find it really hard to accidentally upload with it, even though I have a "Send To" option.

    I distinctly remember the evolution of YouTube though. Videos used to be uploaded just the same way you'd used a tape based handy-cam at home. It was very raw and unedited. These days, everyone thinks they're a producer and spends their time just trying to get the next viral video. I miss old YouTube.

    So this has been a little hobby of mine ever since the pandemic. there's a few tools to help find untitled videos like that, although a few of them have waxed and waned beacuse of api changes or hosting costs, i assume?

    it really does hit you different. sometimes it's a bit meh when you get shakey concert video after shakey concert video. and sometimes it does feel wierd that you've got this peek into someones life like that, and wondering what theyre up to now because the video is 14 years old.

    During covid, even though im introverted and dont like being outside, in crowds, public transportation etc, i kinda under estimated how much joy i got from the little moments. overhearing silly arguments, or someone singing along to that one song you havent heard in a while, or godknows what else - and these untitled videos were honestly such a godsend for that sort of vibe

    i think i would have been much worse off mentalhealth wise if i just dove into regular youtube or tiktok or shorts or something, instead of going for the home videos equivalent

    https://default-filename-tv.neocities.org/ - this is my goto, but currently doesnt seem to work ;c

    http://astronaut.io/ - this has a bit of a funky style but its the same core idea. its synced across all viewers and you can click the button to pause on a video, and unclick to resync. i think there's a different pool of videos each day because there'll be duplicates if you spent ~an hour, but ive never had duplicates across different days

    https://youhole.tv/ - not used this one much because there isnt an easy way to grab a link to the video for posterity, also has a large delay between videos so i cant be as skiphappy

    I'm not clicking a random link which looks like it might be an image. Anyone able to provide a summary of what this might even be?

      Isn't the entirety of Tildes just "random links" though? Here's the summary from Kagi Summarizer:

      Isn't the entirety of Tildes just "random links" though?

      Here's the summary from Kagi Summarizer:

      The GitHub post titled "IMG_0416" discusses the "Send to YouTube" feature that Apple iPhones and iPod Touches had from 2009 to 2012, which allowed users to upload videos directly to YouTube. This feature significantly increased video uploads on YouTube, but was discontinued when Apple removed its app in 2012. The author reflects on the unique naming convention used for videos during this period (IMG_XXXX), which resulted in many videos being uploaded with obscure titles, often unintentionally.

      The post explores the surreal nature of these videos, which often capture unedited, candid moments from people's lives, leading to a unique social feed on YouTube. The author shares three specific videos, highlighting their content and the stories behind them. One video features a woman unboxing her book, another shows a woman playing a potash-themed card game, and the third depicts a humorous moment involving powdered sugar.

      The author also mentions a poignant discovery of a video where a woman films her partner reacting to her pregnancy announcement. The post concludes with a note about the potential for these families to reconnect with their past through these videos, emphasizing the authentic and relatable essence of everyday life captured in this unusual collection of uploads.

        Well, often there is a summary of the article posted with the article, and most posted URLS give some clue what you might be going off to see. Not just image 416.

        Also never thought to use the summariser on a direct URL, didn't know it could do that.

        Thanks for posting the summary
