internet archaeology

 
years ago there were youtube scrapers that would choose literally-random videos
it was a good way to find weird shit YT itself made difficult........then YT changed their
site code to break all those scrapers

this one still works--once

this gives "unavailable" messages

i think this one is compromised bc it only vomits up "popular" crap

only seems to spit out "child friendly" videos

doesn't work anymore

Related but unrelated: the Wayback Machine has somehow made backups of a bunch of dead videos. I managed to resurrect a few dead videos used on articles this way
