Infinite Bad Guy
- yuhmahp 6y agoThat is amazing
- jansan 6y agoWhat exactly is amazing? I honestly do not get it.
- Rillen 6y agoIts a music video which plays, it apparently searches for covers, sync them up so you can switch from the original video to infinity other cover version of it i would say.
- homarp 6y agovideo of the same song all across youtube are synchronized: you can click and jump from one video to the other and the song continue 'seamlessly'
- ajuc 6y agoFor me it buffers a lot when switching so it doesn't keep the rhythm and the syncing is wasted. And I have a pretty good internet connection. I never get buffering on youtube. Anyway, great idea.
- DerDangDerDang 6y agoWeird, it’s working ok for me on shitty mobile
- emiliobumachar 6y agoThank you! I was vaguely aware that something good and artsy was happening, but was not quite aware of what that was.
- fiws 6y agoI love this, but it feels like Infinite Buffering Simulator 2020 for me.
- _a1_ 6y agoDoesn't work for me, doesn't even tell me it doesn't work. Unless it's just photo and a smear-like effect under the cursor?
- gitgud 6y agoOnly works in Firefox for me... "click play" button doesn't show in Chrome
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- cyxxon 6y agoWhile this looks cool, kinda like the UI from some 90ies SciFi movie come to live... what is it? As in, yeah, I can click around, but I don't see what it really does...
- Traster 6y agoYou navigate through lots of videos of fans performing Bad Guy - but the twist is they're sync'd up so you can move between them and the song continues without interruption but now it's a different person performing the song.
- g105b 6y agoI get about 8 frames per second on this site. I don't understand how websites are built so badly these days.
- KMnO4 6y agoIn a word? Abstraction. In two words? Abstraction and apathy.
- Kuinox 6y agoThere is good abstractions and bad abstractions.
- EmilioMartinez 6y agoAnd that's where apathy plays in.
- cnity 6y agoHow do you think the creator of the site would feel reading this comment?
- drjasonharrison 6y agoAs others have commented, mobile browsers appear to work well. Or disable plugins. Testing websites in the the web browser ecosystem is a tedious job.

- loganecolss 6y agoInteresting, thanks for sharing this tweet about the authors of this video. BTW, is IYOIYO a company? What do they do?
- homarp 6y agodon't really know. Next tweet has who did what: https://mobile.twitter.com/iyoiyostudio/status/1330960748458123265 https://mobile.twitter.com/iyoiyostudio/status/1330960748458...

- mellosouls 6y agoThis is brilliant, more info at places like this: https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-launches-infinite-bad-guy-video-to-celebrate-1billion-youtube-views-2823269 https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-launches-infini... I was brought up on The NME and the rock press and love left-field bands and I've always felt Billie (and her brother) fit comfortably into that tradition despite (or partly because of) their terrific pop sheen. Great talent at a very young age; this next decade will be hers.
- iscrewyou 6y ago“...which begins with the singer’s original video for the song and, with the help of AI, has synced up thousands of covers...” Isn’t this just a timestamp sync for certain search parameters? What has artificial intelligence got to do with this?
- MH15 6y agoIt could be a buzzword but I think it'd be fair to assume that different covers of the same song are slightly out of sync at different points. So the algorithm (AI or not) would look for signature beats in the original and match them with beats in a close range in the other songs.
- yeahwhatever10 6y agoI would bet it's using NLP (AI) and looking for lyric matches based on the captions. You could likely make a cover with an incorrect beat but the same lyrics and the AI would match to it.
- kylebenzle 6y agoI bet not. I've been doing NLP for just a few months but my experience is that its fickle at best. Especially with a song that is so repetitive you'd be looking for (n) instance of (n) words. Also, most of these videos arn't going to have human transcribed lyrics which would further increase the difficulty. Why not just take all the data they have and throw it into a model to predict time.
- huhtenberg 6y agoLoading gets progressively slower as it approaches 100% and then gets stuck at 100%. Using Firefox.
- r34 6y agoVery cool. And it can be extended further by adding videos from exploring the website itself ;))
- searchableguy 6y agoI need this for anime songs.
- bsanr2 6y agoIt would be extremely useful to be able to switch between originals/English covers like this.
- rasz 6y ago100% cpu and console filled with endless HTMLIFrameElement.contentWindow properties could not be accessed anyway: DOMException: Blocked a frame with origin "https://billie.withyoutube.com" from accessing a cross-origin frame. at c (<anonymous>:97:5) at HTMLIFrameElement.get [as contentWindow] (<anonymous>:112:9) at Z.r.T (https://www.youtube.com/s/player/77da52cd/www-widgetapi.vflset/www-widgetapi.js:601:207) at Z.r.ca (https://www.youtube.com/s/player/77da52cd/www-widgetapi.vflset/www-widgetapi.js:598:51)
- IggleSniggle 6y agoWorks great on iPhone. Wonderful idea.
- young_unixer 6y agoI've been waiting for 15 minutes for this to load, and now it's stuck at 100%. Firefox 83 64-bit, Ubuntu 20.04, Ublock Origin. 3D Acceleration on.
- theelous3 6y agoHave you clicked "click to play"? 2/3 down, center.
- young_unixer 6y agoIt just says LOADING... I tried with chrome and same thing.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- sigio 6y agoIn firefox I had to enable autoplay (button next the the padlock / left of the address-bar) before the click to play button appeared.
- progval 6y agoThis happens if it fails to load JS/XHR/frames from any of these domains: billie.withyoutube.com / www.google.com / storage.googleapis.com / *.googlevideos.com / www.youtube.com Check you're not blocking any, eg. in ublock's blocklist or /etc/hosts; or look for errors in the network debugger of your browser
- shrimp_emoji 6y agoWorks on my machine. Firefox 83 64-bit Manjaro 20.2, µBlock Origin + NoScript.
- eplanit 6y agoI guess the "infinite" part is the load time.
- abnry 6y agoI'm old enough to resent my younger zoomer siblings' taste in music, and have once been crushed to realize a song on the radio I was enjoying was a Billie Eilish song. Yes, I am a cranky millennial. We are old enough to be cranky now. At first I didn't understand what this website was, but once I realized everything was synced up and thought about the technical work to make it all work... this is brilliant.
- abathur 6y agoIn an alternate youniverse, you delighted in the invitation to shed a prejudice and emerge a little shiny from your old skin.
- SuoDuanDao 6y agoUgh, cheerful alternate-youniverse versions of myself are the worst >:( Source: am also a grumpy millennial.
- appletrotter 6y agoNice.
- michaelchisari 6y agoEilish sounds like repackaged/updated trip hop, so as a gen x'er it feels familiar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyFIIUKAOE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyFIIUKAOE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIpv2VTwyJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIpv2VTwyJA
- telesilla 6y agoThis comment made me feel normal again, thank you for explaining why I couldn't understand why I liked her music, from all the way up here in the 40s.
- SubiculumCode 6y agoEilish and her co-writer are very talented melody/hook writers. I had the same hopes for Lorde, who early work was brilliant, but whose star has faded somewhat.
- barbarbar 6y agoIt says sorry. And that I should refresh.
- ChrisRR 6y agoIn chrome I'm just getting "Please try a different browser" https://billie.withyoutube.com/browser_not_supported.html https://billie.withyoutube.com/browser_not_supported.html
- hobofan 6y agoSo the people at Youtube are the only ones left that target Firefox over Chrome?
- amelius 6y agoAs it should be ;)
- ChrisRR 6y agoFirefox is blocked on my work laptop for some unknown reason
- croisillon 6y agoyou're apparently the last and only chrome user here
- eganist 6y agoLoads fine for me. Firefox 84.0b5, ublock origin 1.31.0, privacy badger 2020.10.7. No custom blocking rules. If you're on the Firefox beta channel, ask me anything and I'll work with you to troubleshoot.
- drjasonharrison 6y agoFor those suffering buffering, loading, or other misbehavior. Try a mobile browser or disable your plugins.
- jpswade 6y agoLove the idea, not sure I quite understand the obsession with this song.
- FriendlyNormie 6y agoThat’s how you identify which ones to kill.
- sdenton4 6y agoThey're good songs, Brent.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- tmabraham 6y agoBTW, this is not the world's first infinite YouTube video (like they have often been claiming). The first video like that was posted by Twenty One Pilots in June and has been running since then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KrAAxT8ZLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KrAAxT8ZLY
- stoolpigeon 6y agoYes. I think it was a genius move. I'm subscribed to their channel and it is always at the top of my subscription list as being live. Having the video constantly feeding in fan submissions was also smart.
- typon 6y agoThis is beautiful
