If aliens knew how to use the internet and how to upload video's to youtube they probably already know how to communicate with us. They won't have to resort to using these strange video's.

You forgot the language barrier. :P They may know how to use our tech, but that doesn't mean they know our language. ;)

Post by: Hayleia on May 17, 2014, 12:30:00 pm
Especially since there is no "our language", not everybody speaks the same language.

By the way the Eiffel tower is not the only link this channel has to France. In the Channels tab, JoueurDuGrenier (Attic Gamer) is listed, he's a popular retro gaming youtuber over here.

But maybe they're doing it this way so that only the humans smart enough to figure it out will be able to initiate communication, i.e. try and weed out some of the idiots initially.

Note, however, that there are two Eiffel Towers in the world: A second, but much smaller one is now located in Las Vegas in United States. :P

Actually, there are more than two (http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/en/everything-about-the-tower/the-eiffel-tower-in-the-world.html) Eiffel Towers in the world.

Also, I really enjoy the playlist! I've been hooked to it for the last 7 days already.

There is a new video, different fro mthe others, but unfortunately, it's under a 1.99$ price. I think they gonna win Internet, because you know... The curiosity will kill the cat.

Considering how popular this channel became, I wouldn't be surprised if they started monetizing these videos. As for the $1.99 video, I wouldn't be surprised if people actually bought it just for the sake of it.
Title: Re: What is this I don't even
Post by: Streetwalrus on May 26, 2014, 02:58:28 am
I'm sure someone already did.
Edit : Right, someone did. And the video is in French.

Dunno which one. :P I only read the Google result.

So it was Google all this time. Figures.

I like how Google stepped in the fun instead of being like, "oh no you're not supposed to view that it's private".
Title: Re: What is this I don't even

Actually, that makes quite a lot of sense. Google wouldn't allow such spam. :P

"We're never gonna give you uploading that's slow or loses video quality, and we're never gonna let you down by playing YouTube in poor video quality. That's why we're always running tests like Webdriver Torso."

Al Gore's a Democrat :P

Also: The internet was made as a communication network with DARPA and several universities in it. Al Gore was never involved.
