From 2009 to 2012, Apple devices had a Send to YouTube feature that saw a 1700% rise in uploads. This led to a plethora of videos with the default title IMG_XXXX, providing a unique and surreal look into strangers’ lives on YouTube. Surprisingly, many of these unedited videos offer genuine moments and insights. For example, an unboxing video from a Memphis-based wife and mother who published a book, a mother playing a card game on potash, and a Boston man snorting powdered sugar with his friends. These snippets of everyday life offer an authentic social feed seldom seen on the internet.
