Sooo apparently… YouTube just got its creepiest mystery in years.

A channel called ShinyWR uploaded a video that looks 140 years long.

When you click it, it turns into 12 hours of a silent black screen.

The description reads in Arabic: “Come, meet me in hell.”

And yeah… it gets weirder.

The channel also has

• 294 hour videos
• 300 hour streams
• a YouTube Short claiming to be 150 to 300 hours long All of them bugged. All of them mostly unplayable.

Still, the channel has pulled 1.4M+ views and nearly 2M on the main video alone.

People think it might be
• an internal YouTube test account
• an ARG
• performance art
• or someone abusing a metadata loophole to fake absurd runtimes

There’s even a rumor it’s linked to North Korea, though that part isn’t verified and could be bait.

The scary part is not the black screen.

It’s that YouTube’s systems are clearly being manipulated in a way we don’t fully understand.

If someone can fake 140-year videos, what else can be spoofed?

This feels less like a prank and more like a stress test of the platform itself.

And the silence from YouTube so far is… interesting.
