“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.”

Babies doing cute things, aerobics classes, amateur drag races, pets looking confused, work presentations, friends hanging out, boats for sale, amateur marching bands… just people living their lives. Most of the videos have fewer than 15 views.
