Welcome to hackernews, we're happy to have you! HN will very rarely put a video longer than couple minutes on the front page, nobody is going to watch something and then come back after and upvote it, and once it's burried, it's not going forward to the front page. Videos are generally better served in the comment section unless they're short. You're right in that HN enjoyes things that make you go "hmmmm, weird but cool" and this video is a prime example of that, it's just too long as a video. Keep on contributing! Looking forward to seeing you around.
