There's a YouTube video (26 minutes in length) filmed by a guy who claims to have seen a gorilla in the woodlands of the United States (state not specified). Now, I'm not sitting through a 26-minute video, but apparently you can see a gorilla at 13:20, 13:44, and 18:01.
Here's the video:
Personally, I saw nothing whatsoever resembling a gorilla. Am I missing something?

It's so bizarre. I went to those points in the video and I saw...foliage. And trees.
Why would a gorilla stand still?
Why would anyone keep filming? If I saw a gorilla in my park, I'd be putting the camera down and walking away as innocuously as possible.
I just don't see what the guy claims to see.

Well, I can at least say I didn't watch all 26 minutes. I'm grateful to those who did, but I'd ask them the same questions you've asked me. So, did you see a gorilla?

That video's just a ploy by gorillas looking to hack searcher's info and sell it to Crytid-lover dating sites... -M

And an even better question than that would be, why do you wanna waste our lives as well by posting it here for us to watch?! I ask myself your first question all the time. My older daughter got a text from her best friend Saturday night while we out at dinner to let her know that some YouTube couple had their baby. Apparently this is a big thing, where random people film their lives and post it on YouTube, and other people sit and watch it and get invested in the lives of these random people. It makes zero sense to me why teenage girls in Pennsylvania give a crap about what some other people, who they never meet, are doing. I asked my daughter about it and was told "this is just what my generation does", but she couldn't explain WHY it is what they do, just that it's "interesting" to them. Now my goal is to figure out something I can do to monetize the stupidity of society through online videos, like that kid who made $27MM last year opening and playing with toys. "Idiocracy" is looking less like a comedy and more like a documentary every day.

My generation was very interested in what the Ewings of Dallas were doing. Kids today seem to like more realistic entertainment.

But on the other hand...I don't understand grown adults watching "reality" TV about people who are "famous" for being on reality TV. I can't imagine that watching the Kardashians or the Real Housewives or any of that other crap is any better. And it's not that much worse than the garbage we see in supermarket tabloids or the obsession in earlier times with Liz and Dick and Nicky and Debbie and Eddy etc.

I can only put it down to people wanting to be entertained by something new, or a different twist on the same old thing. There was a time where I used to watch the TV show Survivor. It started around 2002 and had an interesting premise of stranding a few dozen people on an island where they have to survive the elements while competing in physical and mental challenges for the goal of winning a million dollars. It's been on a long time and it spawned similar type shows , but now I don't watch it anymore. That show was a type of " reality" show and the audience have been watching them ever since. Although, I question how much is reality and how much is scripted in order to insure the audience returning the following week.

I was the same with COPS for a while. However, it soon became samey. How many times can you see cops chasing suspects over fences or pulling over drunk drivers before it gets tedious?

I don't get it either, but I think these types of YouTube vids -- just like all reality TV, and, to a lesser degree, soap operas -- appeal to certain people's voyeuristic tendencies. I also suspect that the majority of viewers of this kind of thing -- although not all -- have rather boring, empty lives themselves.

As I say to my daughter when I see her watching those kinds of videos on YouTube: "Instead of watching other people do things and live life, why don't you do things and live life. I bet you'll get more out of it." That usually earns me an eyeroll or two, but if I can plant the seed and get it to sprout, it's worth the momentary scorn.
