This week, Learning World returns to Phare Ponleu Selpak (or Light of Art school) in Cambodia. The school has changed a lot over the past five years. It now hosts 1,500 students, teaches activities such as drawing, theatre, graphic art and circus skills. The aim of the school is to address a population of young people faced with abandonment, drugs, prostitution.
The school started out as a drawing workshop in a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border in 1986. After repatriation, PPS was founded in northern Cambodia in 1994 by the original teacher and students of the first classes.
The 1984 classes tried to help children express and overcome the traumas of the war perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge. Today, it has developed into a fully-fledged arts school with impressive facilities. Their purpose is, as ever, to help underprivileged street children regain self-esteem.
โThis training helps young people to progress in the field of art, but also, it allows young people to find their national identity and to revive our art,โ says Det Khuon, the current artistic director of the school.

Origins of the Idea ๐ฑ
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. ๐ง
Challenges Faced ๐ค
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. ๐
Creating Truly Random Links ๐ ๏ธ
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 ๐บ

Content and Users ๐ต
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 ๐ค
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.
