that video autoplayed to some live stream of black people at a memorial service singing some soul song, in acapela in rememberance of someone that died. fanning themselves with those handheld fans. I didn't link it here, just because, idk it felt kind of wrong to do it. But it has like 190 views. fascinating that it even exists.

Most low view videos are probably people trying to share a recording of an event with family. They have a cousin that knows computers but forgot to unlist the video lol

This one was still live when I watched it. Of the actual funeral service/memorial. Which is why I would have felt bad sharing it.
 
https://ytstalker.mov/ is a fun site that lets you filter by different criteria, like upload date and view count and find random videos. This is my favorite set of filters:

It's also open source: https://github.com/thedmdim/ytstalker

https://petittube.com/ is similar but doesn't have filters and just brings you a random video with under 50 views.

You can also get interesting results by adding before: (year) in the YT search query itself. Many videos uploaded from 2006 to 2012 have very low view counts.


Each video is like a microfiche of someones life that completely transcends time or location. Everything just feels so authentic. I fear that this version of the Internet is gone though. The flood of every third worlder with a smart phone and industrially produced AI slop has completely deracinated any form of humanity left.

The digital noosphere is polluted and there is no going back.

I don't actually use any of the sites, or methods to find them. I like coming across them organically. Usually that means they are newer. But I feel like I tend to find more of the old style. Random guy/girl ranting about something no one cares about that used to be what a lot of youtube was back in the day. Or telling random stories. Which I find entertaining.

I don't think there is any wrong way to do it though. And anything with less than 1000 views I think is fitting for this thread. If it's something you think has some kind of entertainment value, or find interesting.
 

Lions and shit in Kenya, 2012.


Playmobile battle, 2008. Pretty cool OG choppy stop motion that used to be common on youtube


Rainstorm outside some guy in Tennessee's house, 2010.


Construction workers fucking around, 2009.


Every time we touch remix, you can prolly guess the year.

Pretty cool stuff, 30 seconds of someone's life. What Youtube used to be like.

Reposting this from an old thread, a good way to find old videos with little or no views

https://walzr.com/IMG_0001/
Description from the site itself:


"Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives. Inspired by Ben Wallace, I made a bot that crawled YouTube and found 5 million of these videos! Watch them below, ordered randomly."

First one that popped up was this cute/funny one with a dog.
 

just stumbled onto this. I don't know what the hell is going on here. I think it's a wierd parody. But idk I'll have to check it more later. I'm going to sleep.
 

Another one. This guy seems like he is also a sovereign citizen with what he's saying.

"Fellow travelers" saying the states power is illegitimate, all that stuff.

Idk. Either way it's just some 300 views video of some guy.
 

Another one. I actually do agree with her a bit. At least on some of it.

She is obviously a socialist of some kind. And I don't agree that this is purely the fault of capitalism. Which is kind of the implication in some parts of the video. I think it's more complicated than that, and I also think socialism obviously isn't the answer to it.

But broadly I agree this is a problem. And people should forego convenience, for options that are healthier for yourself. And for society.
 

This one has 2000 so a bit more views than something I would normally throw in this thread.

It's some lady from south american talking about the differences she has noticed between white people, and where she's from. Who was inspired to make the video after seeing a clip from sneako's Nick Fuentes interview.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I started watching, since the title just says she's making it because of a Nick Fuentes comment. It was just her talking about things shes noticed.
 
I had my own kind of playlist at the ready for this kind of thing, but I made it for things below 50k views, I found that to be a pretty well-established peak of "popularity".

So, forgive me for posting something with 2.6k- and 17k views.

(Kid talks about boogers for a minute or two)
