Here's the test episode of our new show! We're experimenting with a longer-form format with multiple segments. There's a lot packed into this and we're excited! To see the FULL BLOOPERS vid, head on over to
http://patreon.com/thevalleyfolk. We need your support to make this baby sing (Creed's "My Own Prison," that is).
This show has everything: retro couches, belly rubs, nasty dumps, goose bashes, new characters, old characters, news, music videos, vlogs, sketches, and one incredibly timed, very fortunate segment-segueing booty whisper. It's "Your Show" because YOU'RE watching it and YOU can be part of it and help mold future episodes by becoming part of our awesome Patreon community.
A massive, folksy thanks to Matthew Boman for helping us film the couch segments, and Kait, our intern/PA/all-around wondrous human, for filming and editing Out Yonder. Thank you to Kevin Plachy for editing the news segment. Also shout-out to Andy Mogren for helping us with our animations, and David Morgan for designing our logo! And thanks, of course, to Aaron Massey (AKA Mr. Fix-It), for being manly and helping us non-mans build a desk!

Yes, the news stories are old. This is a format test, and the news segment was filmed early on because it's slightly more involved than the other parts. In the future, the stories will be current. You'll learn. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. Sometimes it'll be Elliott C. Morgan and Lee Newton. Other times, it may be Joe Bereta and Luke Barats (if we can get him).
Yes, we will likely break the show up into parts and post individual video segments as well. BUT, some of those stand-alone segments will have extra moments/bits/jokes added to increase viewing pleasure and shareability. Our goal with this here video is to create a show where people feel comfortable watching for twenty minutes.
Schedule?! The next episode drops in two weeks. We've finally built our team up so we can streamline this into a weekly show, aka a full week's worth of content all the time. IT'S HAPPENING!!
Finally ~THANK YOU~ for watching, for your feedback, for sharing and for gifting us with the opportunity to make some awesome stuff for the world. We get to make this because of all of you. That's why this is YOUR SHOW. Enjoy.
About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
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. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
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 πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
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 π€
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. π
