This is genuinely amazing. The complete lack of editing. And strangely some of the videos were allowed to have copyrighted content in the background (meaning ContentID wasn't live or hasn't been retroactively applied) really sells the scene. Like, the last one has Taio Cruz's Dynamite playing in the background. Amazing. The Ea-Nasir Tablet of our time.
>allowed to have copyrighted content in the background
I might be wrong in your specific case, but generally YouTube doesn't just remove videos with copyrighted audio. Often copyright holders instead make it so that the video with their songs will have ads and they'll receive all the ad revenue.
"Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID claims can:
- Block content from being viewed.
- Monetize content by running ads on it and sometimes sharing revenue with the uploader.
- Track the viewership statistics on the content.
Any of these actions can be geography-specific. For example, a video can be monetized in one country/region and blocked or tracked in a different country/region."
When this happens don’t you typically also see the track registered at the bottom? ContentID took them a long time to develop if I’m remembering right.
The Ea-Nasir tablet is in a museum, but at least I can see pictures of it without giving my personal information to a multi-trillion dollar corporation.
Do you use iCloud Private Relay? YouTube gives that message and Google requires a CAPTCHA for web searches very often when iCloud Private Relay is enabled.

What is strange is actually how we put up with copyright interfering how we communicate to this extend. Sharing a slice of your life as-is should not be something that other people have a say about.
