| agreed about the point that this has nothing to do with dead internet theory. A similar idea, but without the timeline idea and with YouTube videos instead of archive.org was this: YouTube videos that have almost zero previous views (astronaut.io) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20432772 1362 points by monort on July 14, 2019 | 239 comments I still like that one, maybe it appeals to more people here because the UI is more polished, and the video selection criteria work really well. Although it also has the feel of seeing stuff that you're not meant to see sometimes. It has an almost meditative feel to me, I like it. Last time I opened it, for example, I saw a video of an old man playing a guitar, lots of hobby sports matches, and videos of private celebrations etc Didn't encounter any NSFW stuff, but it's probably possible as far as YouTube can't prevent it, so if you must be 100% sure, you probably shouldn't open it. |
