We all know that banks are very powerful and they're not going down very easily. What will happen to banks in the next 5-10 years? Are they going to fight disruption? The caricature of banks as being entirely filled with "evil people" is not true. The banking industry has institutional inertia, where even if tens of thousands of people in are good, minute everyday actions sum up to an empire which engages in racial profiling, illegal foreclosures, and robbery through socialised losses. During organizational crisis, they are very slow to respond; the very architecture of that business model and culture is embedded so deeply. They will be affected by cryptocurrency just as the media industry was affected by the internet. Bankers ask me if they should get a "blockchain consultant." I say, "No, get a former newspaper editor and ask them 1) when did you know the internet would eat your business 2) what did you do to prevent it 3) now that you've failed, what would you do differently?" Because software is coming to eat our industry for the first time. The banks will still be here, they'll just be very different and offer services that have to be there (ex. fractional reserve lending). Customer service / interpersonal relationship management is considered a lost business right now because it's less profitable than underwriting a loan for a war dictator. Maybe they can reform their operations. There is no "right to maintain a business" or "right to guarantee a profit." If banks are terrified of competition in a free market, then something seriously wrong has happened to banking. If your last resort is a government decree that will prevent competition, you've already lost. Banks will be fine - as long as their business model is in building productive relationships that serve the community and not vampire-squid financing of war dealers and dictators (if that's you, good riddance). What's going to happen to the dinosaurs? They're still here; I had one of their eggs for breakfast. Chickens are the closest descendant of those once mighty beasts, and we are the descendants of the furry things they crushed underfoot.

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. 📈
