The Colosseum is a huge open auditorium or amphitheater in the center of Rome, Italy.

It was built by Emperor Vespasian for his successor, Titus.

The word amphitheater is derived from the Greek word ‘ampi’ (open from both sides) and ‘theatron’ (public place of viewing).

The name Colosseum is said to be derived from the giant statue of Nero, called ‘the colossus of Nero,’ which earlier stood before the stadium.

The Colosseum is an egg-shaped building that is about 620 feet long, 512 feet wide and 158 feet tall.

It covers a vast expanse of 6 acres.

More than 1.1 million tonnes of concrete, stone and bricks were used to erect this massive structure.

It has about 80 entrances and is large enough to accommodate 50,000 spectators.

In 847, the southern wall of the Colosseum collapsed because of an earthquake.

The Romans used the Colosseum for gladiator duels and public spectacles such as animal hunts, mock sea battles, re-enactments of famous battles, executions and dramas.

Certain classes of people like the former gladiators and gravediggers were not permitted to enter the Colosseum.

The west exit was called the Gate of Death. This was where dead gladiators were carried out of the arena.

Historical data suggests that the games played in the Colosseum for hundreds of years have claimed the lives of about 500,000 people and more than a million wild animals.

The gladiatorial fights stopped in 435 CE and the animal hunts by the beginning of 23 CE.

Several popular singers like Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney and Ray Charles have performed at the Colosseum.

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. 📈
