'IMG_0001' allows you to randomly watch approximately 5 million videos uploaded directly to YouTube from the iPhone's photo app between 2009 and 2012.

The iPhone's photo app only had a 'Send to YouTube' button between 2009 and 2012, which made it possible to upload videos directly to YouTube. Videos uploaded from the photo app were given the default file name title of 'IMG_XXXX (a four-digit number)', so there are still a large number of videos with the title 'IMG_XXXX' uploaded to YouTube. A video called ' IMG_0001 ' has been released that allows you to watch a random selection of these videos with the title 'IMG_XXXX'.

Why does a YouTube search for 'IMG_XXXX' bring up a mountain of old videos? - GIGAZINE

When you access 'IMG_0001', you will first be given an overview of the 'IMG_XXXX' problem.

If you continue scrolling, the screen with the noise and the remote control will appear. Click the 'POWER' button on the remote control.

Then, a YouTube movie with the title 'IMG_XXXX' was played randomly. The title of the movie is displayed at the top left when playback starts. The bottom left shows 'VIEW' and 'DATE', which when clicked will open the YouTube page of the video. The bottom right has buttons to pause and watch the next video.

When you pressed the next video button or the movie finished playing, a random YouTube movie with a different 'IMG_XXXX' title would play.

There are about 5 million YouTube movies with the title 'IMG_XXXX', and since they are taken straight from an iPhone, no processing has been done. Since they were uploaded before 2012 and have few views, it seems that many of them are not subject to YouTube restrictions, and the social news site HackerNews has reported that ' The second video was a video of a strip club ,' ' It seemed to be an accident scene in Southeast Asia, ' and ' The first thing I saw was two neo-Nazis singing punk songs naked in the shower, ' so caution is required.
