Keywords/phrases: What should NOT go on a blockchain? 80% of what people are saying should be implemented on "blockchain." Right now, "blockchain" is a hammer and everything that looks like a nail is getting hit, which is mostly breaking things and not producing anything useful. Nobody really knows what a blockchain is, and it's being defined in such a ridiculously broad way. "Blockchain" is ultimately a meaningless word. Trust, transparency, and immutability are not properties of the blockchain; they are properties of a system that combines a blockchain, an open consensus mechanism with a proof-of-work investment in extrinsic energy, and a native asset that creates a game-theoretical reward system. They all work in conjunction to massively increase the decentralisation of the system until its decentralisation range is so high that immutability, security, transparency, and openness emerge as characteristics. You can't just say "let's do all of that without the decentralisation." If you are currently involved in a large proof-of-concept project where some consultant is selling you the abstract noun "blockchain," and they're telling you that the system you have now can be replaced with all these magical characteristics, take the word "blockchain" from the proposal and replace it with "Microsoft Sequel Server, Data Center Edition." If the proposal still works from an IT perspective, buy that instead. If you're using "blockchain" to mean "database," plus some hashes and signatures, you are missing the point. The magic of this technology is the decentralisation, and to remove that is to remove the magic; that is the measure for success from which all the interesting characteristics emerge from. Aviation analogy.

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. 📈
