A browsable catalog of obscure YouTube videos uploaded between 2005 and 2018, each with fewer than 5,000 views.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.

For: Internet archivists and accidental video explorers
Worth noticing: Its zero-view shelf contains 963 entries, while the 2005–2018 catalog spans 737,290 videos.

Field notes

The archive exposes several useful paths into its material: year, view-count band, random selection, fewest views, and oldest entries. Its visible examples range from a 2005 Dutch aerial-footage upload to gaming videos, local news, music tracks, and a zero-view clip titled “i don't wanna work.” The site says some records come from the YouNiverse dataset and notes that playback occurs through YouTube.
