wtf? Videos stopped freezing on 301 a while ago... Where have you been?
If you were the 301st viewer you were forever frozen in time
How is this possible😮
TH-cam's algorithm makes me ever so curious. This video gets suggested every year and then just suddenly goes into hibernation all the while the views are locked to 301 of all numbers.

Just like in our Universe, things should enter in a higher state of disorder and not balance. That's why you always clean your bedroom.
