Oh hi, creator of the video here!
It's just a fun video of me messing around with Windows 8.1 I made a while back, trying out different "apps" and stuff. I thought it'd be a fun easter egg to download the video itself when I was trying out that strange YouTube MP3 downloader app :D
I didn't do it with the API (even though I tried to at first), just the normal youtube.com/upload site. I used Fiddler (Burpsuite alternative) to achieve this
I am not the first person to do this however, Insane Doll Gallery has made a video demonstrating this [youtu.be/ufq2Eb78kSU] (apparently used the API) and the channel NightFalls Studios has also used this trick in their My Little Pony comic animations [youtu.be/FDLvR9xrCag and youtu.be/7oXsOmqs6R4]
- hanniabu 7y agoI always see creators popping up when something they made is mentioned. I find it too coincidental that you just happened to be on HN and happened to find the comment mentioning it. Do you use a service that scrapes sites and pings you of keyword mentions?

- rebane2001 7y agoThis is true, but for YouTube, the "referer" stats won't appear for a couple of days
- rebane2001 7y agoI do use a keyword notifier on Reddit (mostly just for my name), but in this case, I just coincidentally noticed the spike of views on my video and put the video url into Google, which led me here
