A site by Riley Walz presenting a bot that crawled YouTube and found 5 million videos uploaded with default IMG_XXXX filenames. It notes that iPhones between 2009 and 2012 included a "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app, and many uploads kept their default filenames. The videos are shown ordered randomly.

Users submit a link or ID, and the tool supports reverse image search of thumbnails, geolocation in Google Maps, and translation of ISO country and language codes. Results can be exported as a zip file or shared.
