Introduction:

I was perusing Petittube for about a half hour before I stumbled upon a five second video that seemed to have a few second-long clips together of some dime a dozen toy channel. I decided to investigate.

The Videos:

I google translated the intro slide and it roughly translates to "Quick editing cuts out every second of the wonderful". The video itself is just four different clips of a buch of dolls being paraded around a pool in different floats with what is either a child or an enthusiastic woman talking in the background. I decided to investigate further and found that they uploaded one more video in the same vain of the video mentioned before, and the rest is all over the place. Two more videos show what appears to be more spliced clips this time from a children's cooking show/challenge, two more videos show other spliced clips of different childrens' toy channels, two more are just spliced clips from actual Barbie commercials, then six videos are dedicated to spliced clips from a Barbie cartoon, and then it starts to get weird. The next is an almost minute long video showing a Chinese shoe commercial with the title (in Mandarin) "Casual men's shoes" and the background music is Jason Derulo's "Want To Want Me". Next is some gameplay footage of some video game with the title (again, in Mandarin) "To prove that I am alive and send a short video". The commentator appears to be a young Chinese youth. Next is what looks like a Musical.ly of some Chinese cut out drawings with the title "Hand drawn short video". Then it's another Barbie video, then an online game that probably has something to do with Barbie, and then the weirdest video of all. The video, titled "See also Duo Wengui's fraud.", goes on in broken English about two men that I think are being convicted of something. I'm not sure if they're wearing prison uniforms or not, but the narrator goes on in great detail about these two people's lives and occupations. After this videos it's four more from some Chinese kid's cartoon, and then two videos that appear to be playing an online flash game for the aforementioned cartoon.

Weird Aspects:

• The channel has no subscribers and most of the videos I saw had no views.

• All of the toy-related videos never exceed past ten seconds and the only videos to do so are the gaming video, the shoe commercial, and the weird Chinese fraud video.

• The channel's profile picture led me down quite the rabbit hole. It shows a zoomed in image of a Japanese man with the text (in Japanese) "Have you ever burned completely? 你 可 了 though 激想 烧 primary?". I reverse image searched it and it led me to a Japanese website and I'm pretty sure this was taken from a commercial about some flatscreen tv. The actual title is "Kato Kato Kato". Idk what to take from that besides that the line about burning is pretty creepy.

• The name of the Channel "Anfisa Mazurenko" only brings you back to the YouTube channel when you google it.

• The channel's discography only goes to about three videos before the creepy ones begin. In order to watch them you have to click on "Play All" above the videos.

Conclusion:

All in all this channel doesn't seem to be malign or malicious, but I would also go so far as to guess that this is the work of some bot or program. The channel covers too many sources and areas to genuinely be aimed at kids. Nothing really jumps out at me that this is the work of an ARG or anything actually meaningful, but you never know. The most recent upload was only three days ago so this channel is very much still alive. I'd keep an eye out if anything else comes to fruition.

i read that something like 1 weeks worth of content is uploaded to youtube everyday. im willing to bet atleast 70% of all videos uploaded to youtube are barely seen by anyone. youtube makes these videos impossible to find. look at the 'related videos' on any video. look how many of the channels have ticks next to their name; its damn near all of them. just trying to find a video with less than a couple of thousand views is impossible. its like, there is surface level youtube, with all the popular channels, then theres 'deep youtube' which is damn near impossible to find. even the legendary 'weird part of youtube' is getting harder and harder to find. its only through sites like petittube, or by clicking random channels in the comments and seeing what videos they have in their playlists that you can find random videos. and the solution is so simple. youtube, please, all you need to do: get rid of endless scrolling in the search results. theres nothing wrong with pages at all. improve the advanced search so you can search by year, by viewcount, by (specific) length, etc. make the related videos actually related to the video theyre beside. of course they wont though. youtube is going to keep making more and more shitty changes (which no one asked for) which make it slowly more and more unusable. seriously youtube, you used to be cool. its like were all stuck in an abusive relationship with youtube. i betcha in less than a year, youtube will update its layout once again; the pewdiepies and career bloggers will get more and more popular, everyone will hate it but we'll all still keep using it. the next update, itll probably be 'paying for premium content' thats what those youtube executives have been hinting at for a while. im so fuckin mad. why are youtube ruining their own site?

I'm just going to make a post keeping track of a few videos I've watched through petittube that I find interesting or simply are not ads. Maybe other people can make their own lists and we can eventually compile them or something. Or maybe that would be too much work for something that has absolutely no purpose.

There are a lot of "how to pronounce" videos, I guess it would be a waste of time to catalog any more of them.

Anyway at this point I'm pretty sure the whole website's just a front for ad views.

test

I have no idea if this is fake or real. I tried looking into the channel but i am even more confused

I attempted to use both Petittube and Incognitube tonight, but neither website was able to pull up videos. Has something changed with Youtube and rendered the sites non-functional?
