Zuzana: finding confidence and a whole new career path with Udacity Video

Zuzana Kunckova was 33 when she completed her degree in psychology – a field she’d always been passionate about. “I’ve always wanted to know how the human mind works, how we make choices and decisions,” she says. After graduating, Zuzana worked as a teaching assistant, but wasn’t feeling fulfilled; she found it difficult to combine her job with looking after her young children. “It wasn’t for me. I felt disappointed in myself. A lack of confidence and not knowing what to do was holding me back.”

Seeing an ad offering a Developer Scholarship for a Google Udacity Nanodegree was the inspiration Zuzana had been waiting for. “It focused on turning coding skills into future employment, and had a module on accessibility,” she says. “I began to see the link between web accessibility and psychology and realised I had found a way to use my degree, earn money and be there for my family – and it’s something I like!” During the six-month course, Zuzana developed the skills and confidence to approach future employers in the digital industry. She soon found her first job as a web developer at branding and web development agency, Twin Dots.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
