The Mystery Begins
The YouTube account called Unfavorable Semicircle started in March 2015. It began uploading many videos on April 5 of that year. The channel kept posting a lot of videos. Each video had a strange title, usually the Sagittarius symbol and a random six-digit number. Most videos did not have a description.
What the Videos Looked Like
The videos often showed abstract, pixelated images. Sometimes, they just showed a single dot on a plain brown screen. Some videos had no sound at all, while others had strange, distorted sounds. The videos also varied a lot in length. Some were only a few seconds long. Others were much longer, like one silent video that lasted for 11 hours!
Why People Noticed
Because so many strange videos were uploaded, people started to pay attention. Soon, a small group formed on Reddit to investigate the channel. They wanted to figure out what Unfavorable Semicircle was all about.
Theories About the Channel
People had many ideas about what the channel could be. Some thought it was an alternate reality game, which is like a puzzle played across different media. Others believed it might be the work of someone with a "disturbed mind." Some compared it to Webdriver Torso, another YouTube channel used for testing. Other theories included:
- An online numbers station, which broadcasts coded messages.
- A form of outsider art, made by someone outside the traditional art world.
The Unfavorable Semicircle account was eventually suspended by YouTube in February 2016. The mystery of what it was remains unsolved.
