Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I would argue that there's clear difference between the video you showed and Skibidi Toilet. For one, your video is from a time on Youtube when "random images/clips are shown while unfitting music is being played in the background" was a genre. So it has more in common with this or this than modern Youtube videos or even YTP. Seriously, "something something while I played unfitting music" was its own genre way back in the day. The only real difference is your video uses the Source engine, which survives in modern Youtube.
Skibidi Toilet and all that body horror shit like Aaron Animations are also far too dystopian for early Youtube. Going by tone alone, I would peg the video as a post-2016 creation, which wasn't when the first Skibidi Toilet video dropped but was the time when the channel started and had this video, their most famous video pre-Skibidi Toilet. And it's pretty obvious the dystopian feeling comes from living and reacting to a post-Great Recession, post-2016, post-2020, "post"-Covid world.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
