The video of the Eiffel Tower is actually a Copyright test. Copyright is inflicted on buildings, too, and while the Eiffel Tower's Copyright expired in 1993, the lights of the Eiffel Tower were only added in 1985, and the Copyright for them won't expire until 70 years after then. Thus, it is against Copyright law to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower illuminated. The video was published to test TH-cam's copyright system.
Actually, Webdriver torso uploaded in November 2020, a video of someone sitting at a desk. The video was taken down shortly after but people reuploaded it. I know because I had notifications turned on lol
@@mylittleparody2277 and Google still is! just a few weeks ago, they posted a video lasting 25 minutes, and they replied to a comment, which was uncalled for until now!
i stumbled upon this channel years ago after i searched for something. it was strange and no one i know knew about it. glad i came across your incredible channel
My theory is that Webdriver Torso uploaded videos via making HTTP post requests using a webdriver like selenium webdriver. They might've used a frame generator that was then converted to a video format.
I still think it’s a little strange google didn’t just put this information on the channel or something so we wouldn’t all be creeped out. I still think they might be covering something up.
@@fred-youtube exactly I agree, such a large corporation should be more precessional about this right? And why does it seem almost a joke to them when people question that this is something to do with CIA especially? That is not a joke and it’s not funny that they put that song never gonna give you up like these things don’t happen all over the world.
I think it's for the convenience of another program to crawl the videos and run verifications on them. If these test videos are set to private, either they will have to maintain a uploaded video list (which is a duplication of data) or granting the testing program administrative permissions to list private videos (which would lead to security implications).
Who me? Guy this was 2 years ago for one, also I was merely questioning I’m not assuming anything. If you are willing to believe something simply because it’s what someone says than you are blind to how the real world works. Maybe you should not call people schizophrenic if you don’t understand how that actually effects people, could bite you in the ass some day.
Shooting in the dark here, but I think somebody was testing a unique randomizer algorithm, and they posted it on TH-cam as a handy way to run the results past the autists out there, and whomever else might like to try out their pattern recognition skills. It nightie also been a training aid for would-be intel analysts.

oh ok
sounds stupid ngl

I’d assume the same is for aqua team hunger force considering it’s a copyrighted show, albeit slightly altered with the dub
Then why is it still up?

oh, I also found his livestream too. which is live streamed on July 2020. but the livestream was offline
it uploaded just like 15 days ago
@@Vallee152 yep, got that one too lol
weird how google decided to do this so publicly

That ending felt sad, like the computer died.
Oh well.

It’s back :)
Webdriver Torso uploaded a new video a few days ago
it uploaded again

WEBDRIVER TORSO IS BACK BABY
Yep.
i stumbled upon this channel years ago after i searched for something. it was strange and no one i know knew about it. glad i came across your incredible channel
4:23 - "tmp" is short for the word "template," the random sequence of words are either currently unknown, or spam related purposes.
Also a short for "temporary", as in a file that's deleted after being generated.
@@Max_Mustermann It's mainly template in this case, due to "TMPRkRl85"
@@Shiraraxi That's possible. I was merely mentioning it as another typical use of the acronym.
@@Max_Mustermann fair point
tmpRkRl85 is the most unexpected rickroll
2:40 Actually the numbering goes from 0 to 8, so that's _9_ arrangements total.
I swear google probably did this just to see our reactions. Great video m8!
The pilotredsun music caught me off guard. Brilliant.
SO GLAD SOMEBODY ELSE NOTICED
November 22, 2021 Websriver Torso uploaded again.
Great music choice, pilotredsun
“Blue square and red square” proceeds to show rectangles
We love the PilotRedSun music in the background
I remember even BBC investigated this haha
VERIFIED!?
@@jozefbarackelbautistayes
There's finally a new video!
Webdriver Torso has since posted two more videos. One from 10 months ago, the other only 4 months ago
1:41 ok lets talk about that intro music
Early, found this channel recently, love your videos!
My theory is that Webdriver Torso uploaded videos via making HTTP post requests using a webdriver like selenium webdriver. They might've used a frame generator that was then converted to a video format.
It’s just strange that it was called webdriver “Torso” like why Torso? There’s something just eerie and weird about that name.
Maybe T.O.R.S.O. is an acronym for something?
Ask the server idk💀
2:43: I don't see a square
this channel scared me so much as a kid
I'm so pissed that I missed this. :(
yesss, new krb vid >:]
love the video keep up the good work.
Welcome back!!
webdriver torso is the best yt ever
WEBDRIVER HAS RETURNED
I REPEAT
WEBDRIVER TORSO HAS UPLOADED ONCE MORE
he's back 💀
I still think it’s a little strange google didn’t just put this information on the channel or something so we wouldn’t all be creeped out. I still think they might be covering something up.
Or private the videos

Clicked like for prs music
Webdriver Torso uploaded a new video 2 months ago.
