There's a self-propelled army of "FPS" video walkers, documenting some of the more interesting and popular places around the world as if you were there yourself wandering quietly through these places. I really hope that the trove of videos that exist on YouTube remain intact even after the company itself disappears, because it's a catalogue like no other.
I regularly watch train rides or walks through suburbs of places I've never been, and at 2k resolution and high quality audio, it can really transport you for the moment you're watching. During the pandemic lockdowns here, a bit of people watching while wandering through other countries was worth it's weight in gold.
