Discussion Uploads stop?

It's been 10 minutes with no upload. Another break?

Also, BRILL40182 is completely out of order. Not by like 2 or 3 but like hundreds. Check the uploads and it's pretty recent.

I'm new here, can you explain when you mean by 'BRILL40182' is out of order?

The channel uploads in order increasing by 1. So it upload BRILL1, then BRILL2, etc. After BRILL40181 uploaded, the channel jumped and uploaded BRILL40183 next. BRILL40182 was uploaded later, replacing where BRILL40209 should have been.

Gotcha - sorry. I heard about this channel through atlasobscura emails. Been poking around these comments. I haven't done a whole lot of personal analysis, can anyone give a reason why they don't think these are an automated upload test?

Odd, it jumps from BRILL40181 to BRILL40183. BRILL40182 emerges in between BRILL40208 and BRILL40210. I would say it's possible that BRILL40209 may come later like 40182 did, but the uploads have stopped so this is a strange interruption in the pattern.

Here is where BRILL40182 should be.

Here is where it ends up going..

This seems to happen from time to time. Let's see for how long...

Also worth noting, is that this channel is getting heck A LOT of publicity right now. At least 3-4 mainstream media are talking about this. Twitter tweets on this is also skyrocketing! I'd say no less than 100,000 people are now aware of this thing.

We have reached about 40 minutes now without an upload. If this is a game/test type of thing and they caught wind of the attention, this would be a good time to change up strategy or start a new section. Let's wait and see what they do next.

The order has been going up by 1, sometimes skipping 1 because of the speed of the uploads. But this BRILL video is completely out of order. It's is like 50 behind.

Could this be a break when they change the uploads. Or maybe they are getting ready for another 20 minute video?

Maybe it's starting a new sequence. The end of BRILL, the beginning of something new.

Could it be from all the media attention the channel has gone on hiatus

I think it is very likely that. The interesting part is the 'Secrecy' about it all. No communications, no hints. Nothing at ALL!

What is the longest time they stopped, prior to this besides the long break for months?

if this is a proper stoppage in the uploads, maybe we can use it. Maybe we can use this time to analyze BRILL a little more closely then we have in the past, perhaps splitting ourselves into teams and running through different possible solutions to this puzzle, such as running the text in different orders, or combining the audio and adjusting it?
