YouTube user posted 80,000 videos

Perhaps the strangest viodeokanal on YouTube belongs to an unknown user Webdriver Torso . He has published nearly 80,000 videos algorithmic origin. Each video length of 10 seconds is made up of 10 pieces of 1 second with monophonic sounds. Each fragment of static on the screen frame with blue and red rectangles of arbitrary size, which may overlap. The total amount of video on the list has reached 236 hours, after which ceased broadcasting.



Activity Webdriver Torso attracted public attention after publication April 26 a popular blog BoingBoing. < br />
To date, were several versions of what it can be. Initially offered on BoingBoing version, this is a modern version of the secret radio stations Cold War, such as station UVB-76 near Moscow. Since 1982, she conveys the clock broadcasting continuous noise at a frequency of 4625 kHz. 0 buzzing sound lasts 8 seconds, interrupted 1-1, 3 seconds and repeats 21-34 times a minute. Appointment station unknown.

32 years of broadcasting station a few times transmits the encrypted message in Russian. For example, the following entry broadcast February 21, 2006.



Maybe someone now sends encrypted messages after YouTube, and each combination of colored rectangles - a byte encryption?

Soon другую advanced version of the American software tester Isaul Vargas (Isaul Vargas). In an interview with The Guardian, he said that he had learned in the designated demo videos, which saw a year ago at a conference on automation. Demo showed a European developer of applications for streaming video from set-top boxes on YouTube. The software must reliably and quickly publish videos, so use YouTube as a test platform to test the connection, and a combination of rectangles - for overhead transmission with a further pattern recognition.

Journalistic Investigation BBC , in general, does not contradict the version of Vargas. Use the YouTube API, they pumped metadata of all videos. It turned out that the publication of the video took place around the clock with a gap, on average, 2 minutes. Some days were published up to 400 videos. The first video is a paid access and is only available for users in France. This is an excerpt from the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Another different from all the - video number 1182 , shot from the balcony. Shestisekundny view of the Eiffel Tower with the comment author "Matei very smart» ("Matei is highly intelligent"). This is the only comment of the author at all the videos of the channel, it does not answer the questions now.
