I read this article when it was new and I've shared it with a bunch of people because it it unbelievably fascinating to me.
There's something borderline "voyeuristic" (for want of a better term) about it. There are all these videos that are public, I'm allowed to watch them, but they were clearly not meant for me to watch. It's like when you see a family photo at a Goodwill or something.
It's definitely worth trying out if you get bored; it's a proper time capsule. There's absolutely nothing cynical about it; these videos weren't made for profit, they weren't made to sell you something. They're candid videos of people as they were in ~2010.
there used to be https://default-filename-tv.neocities.org/ but it got taken down :/
It’s wild how antique the iPhone interface design looks. It’s not THAT old.
