ALSO 💭 VH1 POP-UP VIDEO IS BACK... BUT LIVE!
I'm typing facts in Albania. 2,000+ viewers around the world see them pop up simultaneously over the same music video. 🤯
Nobody has ever done this before. Not Twitch. Not YouTube. Nobody.
The anti-algorithm just leveled up. 💪🦖

🔴 MTV REWIND JUST WENT LIVE
Everyone watching sees the EXACT SAME VIDEO at the EXACT SAME MOMENT.
No algorithm. No personalization. No rewind.
Just like real MTV in 1987.
1,600+ people are already in the room together RIGHT NOW.
This is what we lost. This is what we're bringing back.
Music videos are the most continuous, global, youth-driven, visually experimental art record of the last 70–80 years.
The fact that we’ve never treated them like it says a lot about how we value culture.
MTV REWIND Built in 48 hours by one person. No ads. No algorithm. No login.
Just 50,000 music videos and pure nostalgia.
This is what the internet was supposed to be. 🎬📺

REWIND is not just a streaming archival empire—
it's a cultural movement.
In an era of algorithmic exhaustion, it offers something radical:
authenticity, serendipity, and human curation.
Building MTV REWIND unlocked a core memory:
Saturday mornings. 🌄
Waking up before everyone else. 🛌
Bowl of cereal. 🥣
Cartoons flickering on the TV........📺
That cozy, safe feeling. 🫂
The algorithm killed that too. ❌
So I built it back too.............. 🛠️

Corporations try solving algorithmic exhaustion with "better algorithms"
• wrong solution •
"a place is defined by co-presence and dwell"
not what you click.....
not who's watching you but who's there with you
the exhaustion ends when you stop being served and can start feeling present.

This many people all over the world choosing random music videos Netflix/YouTube/TikTok is either:
a) beautiful

Probably all three. 🌹🦖
