Zero Views

Friday, November 26, 2010

Transcript

35 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every single minute. That means that for every hilarious video of a piano-playing cat enjoyed by millions, there are many, many more clips that suffer in anonymity. Colin Fitzpatrick's website Zero Views is a home for those clips. He collects videos that, at the time that he finds them, have never been viewed by anyone.

That is so many videos at one time. I feel like if you and your friends are having a "moment" and feel like sharing it and you know u wont get view leave it with your friends. That whole condom things is disgusting. i feel like sometimes when a video doesnt get watched and someone post it to an audience that always checks what is post just needs a stamp of approval and then it will be popular.

To me youtube is just a place where you upload videos that you make of yourself or of other people. And i don't know who inn the world would wear a condom over their face. Thats sounds just retarded to me. I feel that other people have no life if they are taking videos of themselves doing stupid things.

It's crazy how youtube have 35 hours of videos uploaded every single minute. i feel like some of the things on youtube are point less just like the "condom-ski mask" . only people with no time or no life will make such a thing like that or somebody who just want a good laugh to watch it. a lot of people waste their time doin stupid videos. but i guess the more stupid it is the more views it gets. unless it's like a music video

i think that it is mind boggling that every minute 35 hours of videos are uploaded. I don't really see how this guy's website gets views himself. Those videos weren't viewed for a reason. They don't need there own website.

To be totally honest i beleive that this website for all the "zero veiws" is pointless. They have not been viewed for a reason so why make another website that no one will view?

In all honesty, I think that the creation of this sight is pointless. These videos haven't been looked at for a reason, so why not leave them alone?

Youtube in my opinion is a great way of viewing things that you miss or other stuff. I go on the website to see music videos. It is a website that you can just go on anytime and watch anything.

We are the Youtube channel that posted the library card video. The video is our own production, but the song is from PBS's Arthur. We thought it would be funny to do this song in our library and now look where it has gone! Absolutely amazing! Thank you all for viewing.

Why would you want a condom- ski mask anyway. I think that youtube is just a place where people can just post videos just about anything just to get a laugh. I have upload 1 video and have watched many like music videos and funny videos.

Oh, great. Now even the worst videos at YouTube will have more hits than my video about Sarah Palin (only 31 views in 2 months).

Bob uttered one of the funniest comments on radio, ever, when he said, "The condom-ski mask is something, right? There's some action there, there's a concept there."

Somewhere, a Hollywood producer is hard at work story-boarding next summer's blockbuster hit.

OTM, you've made my day. Thanks Bob!

Just fyi... that library card song? It's from the pbs children's tv show "Arthur." Not made up by the video producers, as Fitzpatrick said.

The song "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card," comes directly from the PBS tv show Arthur - written in the late 90's early 00's.

What fun, but kind of deep about the "anti-meme".
