The \u201cIMG_0001\u201d<\/a> website features a frame with an old TV static effect and a floating retro Panasonic remote that you can click to start watching random YouTube videos from over a decade ago that were recorded and uploaded from devices such as 2010\u2019s iPhone 4. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n As described on the site, there was a novel (at the time) \u201cSend to YouTube\u201d feature on iPhones between 2009 and 2012 that let you upload recordings directly from your iPhone for anyone to see \u2014 which often aren\u2019t accompanied by any text descriptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Each video is titled something like IMG_XXXX, which follows the default naming conventions of recordings from iPhones (and many, many cameras).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If this site is ringing a bell, you\u2019re probably thinking about a similar project called Astronaut<\/a> from 2017. It had a similar idea to IMG_0001 where you watch original filename videos; however, Astronaut focused on videos that could be newly uploaded (with low view counts) and only showed small portions of each one unless you intervened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
