Generic youtube videos of old games
I recently noticed these generic videos of old obscure games that are all identical on youtube. Games like 101st airborne and other old strategy and wargames that people don't play much. these videos are 1 or 2 minutes long, they are comprised of low resolution stills and have a generic background music. users that upload these videos have like 3000+ uploads and 10 subscribers. what gives?
Dosgaming addicts ?
Modern times? Anyone with a good compy can create those and share them?
... what gives ..... dunno, some peeps have a lot of free time? Bored?
Some are members from several dosgaming sites ....
Some series are from well known AW sites .... AB has a channel, Latis from XTC has 700 videos uploaded ....
etcetera

All of the videos are 4 months old, same music, with varying still pics, about 1 minute each.
I'd guess it's some spam bot taking snapshots of videos and re-posting them.
Follow-up activity is posting links to those videos on various forums, using the same id, which is still going on.
For what purpose, I don't know. Future overloading of youtube or similar?

..... maybe it's someone who wants to preserve those gaming clips for the future? Wouldn't be the first time that youtube wipes clip collections ...
.... maybe it's an obsessive collection freak?
...maybe maybe maybe etcetera......
