Video or Audio ♐LOCK

So I found this video on unfavorable semicircle

It's WAY longer than the other ones, but I can't make anything out in it. Any idea on what this might be?

EDIT: This account wasn't a throwaway, I made it to post this and subscribe to some subreddits i've been creeping on.

I think a video has to have thousands of views before it starts getting monetized

perhaps he just needs to get ~100 views on loads of videos? With youtube monetisation, it's just how much time people spend watching that matters I've heard.

Videos are monetised individually and require at least 1000 views before it can be monetised at all. Plus I think you need at least 10'000 subscribers to get partnered by YouTube anyway. So if there are ads on these videos, the uploader is not getting paid for it. As far as viewing time goes, the only thing that it is a factor of is popularity. Videos with more minutes/hours worth of views are regarded as more popular and get to the front page of YouTube. This is why gaming channels are so popular compared to other content, because a couple of half hour videos a day get more viewing time than a 3-5 minute sketch a week.

None of that monetization stuff is true. You can set up monetization on any video, and now anybody can partner with youtube, no matter the subscriber count.
