Actually, it is "Nation's Quid." You see, I used to be an accountant in London.

I've got a KZread story you can cover, if you remember it happening. Some time in early 2010 it was discovered that you could lower someone's subscriber count if you essentially repeatedly clicked the unsubscribe button on their channel. Back then, and before this was patched, the subscribe and unsubscribe buttons worked by essentially having you follow a link to a version of the page where you're subscribed or unsubscribed, depending on which one you started on. You could easily pull the link that does the "unsubscribe" function and repeatedly go to it to lower someone's subscriber count. You could also do it by subscribing to a channel then opening it in a bunch of tabs and unsubscribing in each of them. /b/ coordinated a "raid" where everyone did this to Fred's channel, and it was actually brought down to 0 subscribers. Of course I joined in, and of course I got banned, losing my 600-subscriber+ channel I made in Jan 2007 I had since I was 11 years old. You can still find old news articles and forum/reddit threads on the topic. I can send some links if you'd like.

What an interesting backstory! Yeah, the _Goggle_ video was suggested to me by the algorithm, and at first I was wondering what was going on, but ultimately, I thought it was done deliberately to scare the frell out of me. And I loved it because it _really_ worked - I think it was the very first time a KZread video actually managed to make wonder what was going on. IMHO, leaving the video as it is was the best decision - it's just perfect.

While I'm a little disappointed to find out that it wasn't intentional, I'm amazed at how intentional it seemed. Even to the point where with the lost audio section after 20 seconds I was like "okay the bits gone on long enough" 😂 Glad that it worked out in your favor though

@exterminator9676

I was too, but it being an actual natural glitch makes it so much more interesting to me!

I remember watching the video and thinking it was just a KZread screwup, skipped ahead a bit to when the audio started again and carried on. I didnt even consider that it could have been something intentional, but I'm also not nearly as observant as a lot of other people when it comes to that kind of thing. Anyway, it's definitely a fun story to hear about and I'm glad that such a minor oversight worked in your favor.

8:38 Honestly, I can 100% understand proofwatching after exporting, because I've had my own experiences of glitches that show up on export but not in the editor. I remember when I used to edit Gmod animations in Premier years back, whenever I would export them, there would be this glitch where it skips to a completely different frame and hang on it until it reaches that point in the video. I would constantly have to add very tiny fade transitions to prevent it from happening, as I had no idea how to do so otherwise.

"This is why Bob Ross never called any of the mess ups he would make in his paintings, mistakes. He would call them happy accidents-" Me, in my head: Ha, that's what my parents called me growing up "This is coincidentally what my parents would also call me, but I think that's rooted in something much deeper." Me: AAAYYYYYYY

I was thinking “happy accident” when you started describing the real story behind it. Was pleased to see you mentioned Bob Ross towards the end

I never would have second guessed this lmao, it didn't even occur to me to ask, that's how confident I was it was intentional! Just goes to show you.

16:30 you could say the same with notch/ Markus persson, when working on a pig, but accidentally made the creeper, which is one of the ways Mojang advertises the game these days, so Minecraft got popluar by accident as well, but I guess the KZread part was how it actually grew, but the creeper just amplified it.

I actually put in a time stamp for that part, to the start and finish, but I miscalculated the end part Tbh, it’s your voice that makes me stay, it’s so soft and calm It made sleep a few times leaving your videos on a few times

the glitch didn’t feel human, it was pretty obviously an actual mistake, but it was so relevant and perfectly timed that it couldn’t have been!

I really, really liked the humor in this video. You made me legitimately laugh more than once and I hope to see it continue to permeate your videos more and more. 😂

Is this the first face reveal we've had from you???? I had no idea who was talking with your voice in the ad, but then it clicked!

One thing I think you missed is how the glitch being an actual glitch made it so much more believable and real, than if a creator just put an intentional "glitch" in their video. Because this was a genuine real corruption, it's easy to "fall for it" and in this case, is actually scarier too.

Man, i thought the glitch in the goggle video was on purpose and i was all for it

This guy is brilliant! Love watching every video you make.

this was an amazing video but i couldn’t help but laugh at the Green Day reference since i find people reading lyrics to be hilarious

Some time ago there was an iPhone X ad that had a glitch of notifications that existed on iOS, days later Apple solved the glitch with a software update and magically the ad no longer had the glitch, it was just fine, somehow they allowed Apple to replace the video without uploading It again, with the same visits and likes... this video made me think about that... does anyone else remember this?

@@alexis0a The video wasn't from 'Behind the Meme' like I had initially thought, and was instead from 'Tom Scott'. His video was titled along the lines of 'Why some "remastered" music videos look awful'. Edit: So KZread basically allowed certain high-profile users to 'remaster' their videos by uploading new videos that then replace a video that was already uploaded and even preserves the same video ID if I recall correctly. Apple likely received access to that feature and used it to correct their adverts.

This was an oddly beautiful video. I wish I could just accidentally make a work of art too

That Goggle video was the first of this channel that I watched. And since then I'm suscribed. So, nice job, Squid!

I only started my channel back in October 2022, so haven't had much experience (though I'm grateful to all my subs). Anyway, the point is that segment on how to grow and use the algorithm will really help me. So thank you once again NationSquid!

i thought the glitch was on purpose,lol

@Jaskaran Virdi yes, but I'm pretty sure he used a third-party tool or service to auto-generate the captions and did some minor editing at the beginning, like adding the [GLITCH] descriptor. The captions are pretty accurate for the most part, with a few mistakes that seem like the kind only a bot would make. I've been very fascinated in the advancement of automatic speech recognition technology, so I'm interested to know what program he might have used to caption this video.

Damn I definitely thought that was intentional lol

There was a glitch on youtube in 2009, where everytime you refreshed a webpage with a youtube video, the video would gain a view

That Goggle video was my introduction to you. And it really caught me at first, but I thought it was intentional. It was actually kinda scary.

This video is a beautiful piece of art, truly. Thank you for referencing so much literature, this entire video seems like an exquisite extended metaphor. Seriously poetic. You’re a very gifted speaker and presenter.

Brilliant Part of me thought you should leave it like how a magician never explains. But also the whole heart of this channel is to deep dive in the tech makes sense. Ty for the vid bro

When I first watched the video a year ago, I knew it probably was just a glitch and just forgot about it as the video continued

Pretty cool story! This taps into that rule of good storytelling of subverting expectations. This really gets people and leave that last long impression in their heads. Obviously this only works once in a while, if every new video would have a glitch part then none of them are glitched anymore.

I was wondering about that glitch!!! Appreciate that you followed up about it

its extremely fascinating to watch you breakdown exactly what happened here as a huge success in my life occurred from a similar happy accident due to unexpected SEO preferences from something I never thought twice about putting online. Glad this video brought me to your channel, its funny how the universe works. Keep up the good work dude!

Great channel, really knows how to keep us into the video

comupter glitches scare the hell out of me and so i watch your videos to learn about them so they don't scare me anymore. the goggle video and the glitch in the middle creeped me out to no end, but when i went to the comments and saw you playing along i realised it was 'intentional' and was like Okay! but now knowing that it wasn't is making me giggle a bit 😭

When I was watching the goggle video I actually shut down my computer thinking it was something on my end.

I'm glad you didn't take it down Pretty sure it was the video that was recommended to me and I subsequently subscribed after watching it

I honestly genuinely didn't notice it at first (because i usualy watch your videos as background noise), but when I noticed it I thought you were starting and arg

tbh that audio glitch got me for good nice one NS!

First video of yours I saw was the Goggle video. Took forever to try to figure out what was happening because I don't often look through the comments section to see if others are having problems. Did see your pinned comment, gotta say the way this was handled was genius.

“It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up” great green day reference.

9:51 "I'm starting to hear colors..." So, you have synesthesia?

And now this video will make people go back to the original video to go see that glitch lol

When you made that video, my old computer was on it's last legs and I kept it because my new (current) one was going to come way after finals. I thought "well, damn there goes all my stuff for finals".

"Perfect is the enemy of good" and "Done is better than perfect" come to mind.

This reminds me of a crazy thing where I was painting a deck and texting a friend about it but autocorrect changed the e in deck to an i without my knowledge until my friend started calling me painted dick and finally explained why they kept calling me that😮😅😮

Nothing bad every happens to the Kennedyyyyys

I love ur video style so much i love semi serious videos a lot and u are like the perfect example of it

Oh man I was in absolute shock when I heard "The Zombies". They're one of my favorite bands despite their short existence, and I've never heard anyone talk about them before! (Something similar happened with their song "Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)" as well. The battle described in the song occured in 1916, but one band member's uncle had served in WWI and told them the incorrect date. By the time they realized it was wrong it was too late to fix it.)

love this channel so much

i really liked this video, the meaning is really eye opening to me. our perspective on perfection and art has been changed by society, we need to remember how most things in our life started. kinda like how a beautiful tree was only a seed in the beginning. i had some editors block recently but this is inspiring to me, perfection does not exist in creation, besides imperfections are the perfection to me :)

tbh, i thought that audio bug in the goggle video was my headphones' connection being weird

honestly this is a really powerful video to watch while drawing and as an artist as a whole because my whole theme this year for my art is to Let Go of Perfectionism. I've stopped so many projects because they weren't Perfect and I'm trying to get out of that because perfectionism is the death of art to me. humans are imperfect and our art is a reflection of Us. so why should something I make have to be perfect if I don't? there's beauty in imperfection and so called "mistakes" and this video (and by extension, the goggle video) proves it in spades

I didn't really think of it too much when I saw the Goggle video. I've revisited the video several times because it's a good video and the Goggle topic fascinates me

i love your sarcasm

I always knew it was a mistake but really appreciated the way you just rolled with it and played into it

The goggle video was the first video of yours I saw! I've been subscribed ever since and I have to say, I too don't wanna live in a world without happy accidents.

Wow man, really interesting and introspective deep dive into that. I've had the same issue when rendering and noticing a mistake and just keep it for what it is bro. Sometimes a misspelling in the title or anything can cause controversy in the comments and blow it up I guess!

It's actally true. First ever your video I watched from recomended was your that goggle video. And now just watching all your videos. Keep it up.

I think that video was when I met this channel. At least explains why I found it, and no, I don't regret it. Beside the video of Bonzi Buddy intrigued me somehow...
