As terrible as youtube can be (I currently hear it autoplaying some unwanted next video on some other tab I can't find) I love how we've gone from Le Prince recording a video on a roll of paper in 1888 to being able to watch that same video almost anywhere in the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAiYFEHI9o8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAiYFEHI9o8

You can turn off autoplay in your browser.

  I doesn't seem sticky for me although perhaps it's because I don't have an account.

  I have autoplay of videos turned off. but I played a video, changed tab, the video ended and youtube went on to play another unrequested video, carefully selected to make me watch more ads.

makes me wonder if we have early radio transmissions too

  We might… I can imagine scenario where we find historic broadcasts being reflected back to us via astronomical bodies, but given the already faint signal its a long shot at best.

    Radio signals attenuate eith r^2 and eventually drop bellow of the background cosmic noise.

  By now it's probably just cosmic background noise.

    I meant some old experimentation records. Like Bose making radiowave blips through his devices and someone capturing it on wax disc.

There was a time when YT showed me some random trending regional shorts video for the first time I clicked a shorts video & the only shorts video I clicked were of SciShow; So I stopped clicking on even those.
