Developed by students at MIT in Boston, YouTomb is a site charting videos removed from YouTube for copyright infringment and various other Terms of Use abuses.
The aim, they claim is:
"To identify how YouTube recognizes potential copyright violations as well as to aggregate mistakes made by the algorithm... YouTomb was conceived to shed light on YouTube's practices, to educate the general public on the relevant copyright issues, and to provide helpful resources to users who have had their videos wrongfully taken down."
That's all well and good but bearing in mind that the site doesn't actually show you the offending videos; just giving a screengrab and details about the video - why it was taken down etc - it does make one think of this.
After stumbling into an internet graveyard perhaps it's time to turn the damn thing off, go outside, read a book, hug a hoodie, whatever...
But then someone sends you this or that and you're scrambling back for more like Tatum O'Neal with a crack dealer.
