#Microblog Monday 316: Unwatched Videos
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

This is a very weird site. And you will likely get addicted to watching these videos.
The premise is that you are an astronaut, floating above earth, looking down at these moments. The site pulls in unwatched videos: “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).”
Literally unseen. I tested a few, clicking in the top left corner to go to YouTube, and most had one view.
Go enjoy. (P.S. The site states: “The video switches periodically. Click the button below the video to prevent the video from switching.” In case you want to watch the whole video.)

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts that are connected to businesses or are sponsored post.

That WAS weird! I felt like a total voyeur. There’s so many different things up there. I saw a basketball game, a cat and a kitten, a woman singing, a dancer, some kids messing with each other… Fascinating. I wonder if they curate it at all so you don’t accidentally see something horrible?
Oh, I want to see this! It might be a bit like the views from windows all over the world, which is cool.
Okay, I’ve watched, and agreed it is weird! I wonder if they were just mistakes, accidentally uploaded?
The idea makes me a bit panicky… perhaps because of the warnings about the suicide video that popped up everywhere last week? IDK
This is fascinating. And also as Maya said, it makes me a little wary wondering what’s going to pop up next.
Humans are so interesting! I saw a boxing match, a high school(?) football game, a catholic-looking table set for a ritual meal, and some sort of audition.
You find the coolest things.
