I love that the view count is included in the minimalist UI. I came across one with zero views, and there's something so intimate and exciting about being the first person to watch an ancient home video (even if it's shaky handycam footage of a horse, narrated in Russian).

As an aside, hats off to Google to being able to serve an 11 year old video with no noticeable delay from what must be the coldest of caches.

I felt slightly uneasy myself - the first thing I saw was a mum laying on her bed doing a selfie-video with two small kids (probably between 2 and 4 years old) singing a song to daddy.

That felt like a total invasion of their private lives.

I've had the same videos from my own kids, and while there is nothing embarrassing or shameful about it, it's not something I'd want broadcasted. Maybe it hit a nerve for me as it is so very very similar to my own life right now. Sure yeah they uploaded it to YouTube and it's public but it still felt wrong to watch that.

Kinda ruined my day a bit - feel kinda bad for viewing it.

Ruined your day? Although it is undoubtedly tech voyeurism the fact that these observations occur in every day life and don’t violate people’s privacy I would just like to invite you to get out more.

==occur in every day life and don’t violate people’s privacy==

Plenty of things happen in every day life, but are private (sex, break-ups, proposals, Dr. visits, etc.). I also noticed lots of these videos have people in the background. I doubt they were they notified that a video was being taken and uploaded publicly.

==I would just like to invite you to get out more.==

Maybe an alternative is to invite yourself to ask questions about why there are multiple comments with the same sentiment rather than reflexively telling them how to feel/act?

> multiple comments with the same sentiment

Multiple comments saying it felt creepy or multiple comments saying it ruined their day to any extent? Those aren't the same thing.

There is literally a comment thanking the person who made the original comment because they felt the exact same way.

==Thanks - that's exactly how I felt after watching a view videos==

The original comment was a long explanation that ended with: ==Kinda ruined my day a bit==

Seems like pretty tame language to get worked up about, I see two qualifiers in merely 6 words.

Without more clarification, I am unsure about whether feeling the same applies to the day ruining or just the direct reaction.

> Seems like pretty tame language to get worked up about, I see two qualifiers in merely 6 words.

I don't think anyone here is worked up.

I suppose the person upthread could have been exaggerating or using hyperbole for effect, but it seems a bit much for something like this to "ruin your day".

Having said that, it also seems like a bit much for that other commenter to find it worth policing their feelings like that.
