The Least Amount of Views on YouTube?
Let's just ignore that the last time I posted to this blog was fourteen years ago.
I posted my first video to YouTube 18 years ago. 19-Apr-2006. Holy moly that's a long time ago. That's just about a year after YouTube started in earnest. It's been public that long (oops) and has a whopping 650 views. The video was a simple 3D overview of my final year project from my college degree. Not exciting, no music. I'm not even sure why I made it, probably a distraction or procrastinating way of not actually working on the project itself. We had a great computer graphics module in final year which included learning 3D Studio Max.
Second video, I posted something slightly longer (video of a bike run) on 31-Mar-2015, it's got 2 views. It was a poor mobile upload from my phone at the time. That must be a record breaker.
They're both unlisted now, thankfully!
Finally, I posted a 17 second video of the CD disc changer in my Dad's car on 05-May-2015 and it's got a whopping 1,019 views in the last 9 years. It's bittersweet as that was shortly after my Dad died after a long illness. Probably the last time I was in that car before we sold it. I'm leaving that one up.
I completely forgot about these videos and it was only when I started uploading videos for a passion project of mine (Echoes of Ireland) that I realized they were there. A small part of my digital footprint. I wonder how long that will perpetuate after I shuffle off this mortal coil as Shakespeare said via Hamlet.
