Frequently Asked Questions 🙋♂️
What is vTomb?
vTomb is a specialized discovery engine designed to surface random YouTube videos. Unlike the standard YouTube interface which uses algorithms to show you content based on your past behavior, vTomb uses high-entropy randomization to provide a truly unbiased viewing experience.
Is vTomb really random?
Yes. We utilize the YouTube Data API v3 to query the platform's database using randomized character strings. This bypasses the "Recommended" filters, allowing you to see videos that might have zero views or sit outside your usual interests.
Does vTomb store my data?
No. vTomb is a "stateless" platform. We do not require accounts, we do not use tracking cookies to build user profiles, and we do not save your watch history. Every time you click "Next Video," it is a completely fresh start.
Can I filter videos by category?
Absolutely. You can use our category selector to narrow the randomness to specific genres like Gaming, Music, Science & Tech, or Education. This combines the power of choice with the thrill of the unknown.
Is vTomb free to use?
Yes, vTomb is 100% free. We are supported by minimal display advertising to cover our API costs and server maintenance, ensuring the service remains accessible to everyone seeking to break the algorithm.
