    Havent tried in a while but it used to be that any long string of random characters would seeming pull the same type vids as did"." Within the last year or so, I somehow ended up with results that were predominantly Minecraft themed, except the thumbnails had explicit adult or gore images (in game) or text. Didn't watch any though. Not sure how I got these as I have never searched Minecraft anything, but I believe I was trying to pull the full stop content. There's also weird just short of adult content rabbit hole with vids from Asia featuring variants of the same theme - a woman is alone in a remote location, and then a man or men arrive, seemingly to aid her, but there's an inference of possible forthcoming violence or sexual situation but none I skimmed got that far. Some had crazy high view counts. Pretty sure some creator upped a video about these and I went digging after seeing it Theres still Elsagate material either explicit or just deeply strange. And then the "personal health" videos with complete nudity including gynecological pov's, typically yoga performance. Allowed presumably due to the "health" label, but the true intemtion is obvious once the vid is viewed. These go real deep (pun intended/double entendred)

    The Full Stop Punctuation glitch is actually very easy to figure out. In Unicode (The standard way websites understand language characters) the period character is known as Full Stop, and it is under the Punctuation type. Thus when it looked it up, it translated it literarily and thus Full Stop Punctuation. How this very obvious bug was in the system for so long without anyone noticing, I have no idea.

    I truly appreciate you so much for this video. I have an 11 year old nephew , his parents are great but he has been sucked down the red pill manosphere shorts hole, and he is behaving horribly towards his sister, he's obsessed with not eating fat ppl food and none of us know how to deal with it. the algorithm doesn't just destroy creativity, it can have really harmful effects on kids. in my day the worst thing that could happen was to stumble on a creepy video but now kids are being indoctrinated into truly harmful content. 😢

Turns out, this video is WAY MORE INTERESTING than that.

  • @coolnormalandwelladjusted

    There actually was a search term that brought up gore vids, or more accurately women’s funerals, autopsies, and decomposing bodies from underdeveloped countries. I saw one with a womans body completely opened up and gutted. This was being done in what seemed to be the middle of the street in front of a huge crowd. Completely uncensored but it was low quality. Anyway, the explanation for these vids was some kind of religious thing for men to watch so they could see that women’s beauty is temporary. I guess you’d be less lustful after seeing someone rotting. Weird stuff. I don’t remember what the search term was. This was like 3-4 years ago I think.

It’s so gentle and surprisingly full of emotion. There’s a video I really like that uses the Chipspeech synthesizer to let IBM 7094 and the VOCALOID4 voice synth sing Daisy Bell together, and there’s a comment on that video that really captures how I feel: “How beautiful is it that with all the failures of humanity…there was and still are people who simply thought, “why don’t we teach robots how to sing?”” It’s just. So darn sweet man idk- sorry to ramble TLDR: I’m with ya homie, it’s not uwu spook slop, it’s wonderful history.
