Global Worldwide: A bizarre YouTube channel
6 years ago
About a year or so ago, I've become interested in a strange YouTube channel called "Global Worldwide" ever since I stumbled upon them. You know me, I like weirdness, I like the strange and unsettling. Everything from bizarre videos to recordings of old Cold War Era numbers stations, I love watching and listening to. So the moment I saw these weird mashups of seemingly random audio and video, I was kinda hooked. At first, I thought this was some sort of video version of a numbers station, as all the posts were done at certain times and were always 30-31 second long. However, there was an abrupt change to the format of the videos, showing random color combinations and the same sound of what apparently was some sort of gunfire and the sound of approaching firetruck or ambulance for nearly a month before inexplicably switching back to their more normal posts. To me, it seems that Global Worldwide is testing algorithms to see how similar posts can be and not be flagged by YouTube, though I do not know for certain. Still they are bizarrely interesting to watch. Also the comments section is amusing at times.
Here's a link to one of their playlists (WARNING: Some videos have rapid flashing of colors/lights. Also, some have loud noises)
