Upload something where the first 5 seconds is someone apparently doing that, then instantly cut into hardcore porn with extra loud noise
Found the zoombomber
Unless this is for some kind of public speaking position, I would instantly drop the application and not apply to the company again
I saw something similar on a customer service job
Yeah this reeks of discrimination and exploitation.
Nah. You find this in the wild you gotta troll em a bit. Just do the Carlton for 3 minute with Never Gonna Let You Down playing in the background.
This is on the state unemployment departments website in order to be eligible for unemployment cheques
Or upload some kinda freaky shit.
Gee why are we not getting any new applications? Damn millennials don’t want to work!
Paste in the link for Rick Astley. You know the one.
I was thinking some third wave ska. Five Iron Frenzy maybe.
A lot of good options. You can also do a link to something that comments about how distopian work can be, and/or how mundane/monotonous it all is…
I think an example of this is “every day is exactly the same” (NIN), or maybe gratitude by VNV Nation… IDK.
“Thank you for uploading your video submission. Our AI system will review your video shortly.”

There was literally a patent filed for a system that only stopped the ads when the user yells the product name aloud.
“McDonald’s!”

There’s a very good way of gauging how much of a dystopian shithole our world has become, and that’s by simply watching quiz shows on daytime TV.
Compare Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to The Chase. In its original run, WWTBAM had two milestones for answering 5 (£1,000) and 10 (£32,000) questions correct respectively. This meant that failing after one of these checkpoints guaranteed you that prize. The Chase on the other hand is a series of quick-fire pub quiz rounds with some notoriously difficult questions where you’re up against a professional quizzer and have to survive multiple rounds, before all the remaining contestants have to beat the ‘Chaser’ in a two-minute quick-fire round of pub quiz questions. Fail at any point? “You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!”
The Chase is legitimately a much harder show where it is exponentially harder to actually win a cash prize as a contestant and that is one of the main reasons I fucking hate that show.
Where am I going with this? With the way the economy, automation, AI, scarcity, human population growth, etc is going, we are one day going to reach a point where we’ll have to compete in game shows just to get a fucking job! If recruiters are making you record 2 to 5 minute video responses on a fucking job application, then we’re already part-way there.
There was a game show in Russia in 2000s where high schoolers had to answer ridiculously hard questions about Ancient Greece in order to enroll into MGIMO, a prestigious state university of foreign affairs, which was near-impossible to enroll in any other way (e.g. entrance exams) if you weren’t a child of a top-level government official.
The contestants had to sit as the audience first and answer some pop-up questions before even having a chance to actually participate in the game show, and then win in a series of games (like quarter-finals, semifinals, finals…)
It really does look like modern job application process where you have to participate in a series of never-ending interviews and test tasks
It sounds like something out of a YA novel. If that theme continues, the nepo babies that got in through enrollment have a derogatory term for the kids who got in through the game show.
Come to think of it, yeah, sounds also like a Korean drama about bullying or social inequality :)
On a more serious note, there is only one public person I could think of who has enrolled into MGIMO through the game show, that’s Alexey Navalny’s aide Kira Yarmysh (there is even an episode of the game with her on YouTube; she lost that year and won a year later). I don’t remember her mentioning any animosity towards her because of her participation.
Incredible find, thanks for sharing
I had the same thought when I was watching “Alone”. They pay them about 1000 bucks a week to document themselves struggling to live in the woods. Some of them are pulled out for medical reasons, some quit. But for some, this is probably the only way they can afford a vacation.
The challenge is part of the appeal. Perhaps Tipping Point is more your speed.
Reminds me too much of those penny arcade machines.
Just record a video of yourself scream crying while making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and singing the national anthem.

“Are you a fuck up? Please expound, in detail.”
HR: why didn’t you do the video part?
Me: I don’t have a camera
HR: What about your phone?
Me: I don’t have one of those either.
HR: I literally just watched you use the calendar!
Me: No you didn’t. Are you okay? You seem to be imagining things.
HR: You’re literally recording a video of me right now!
Me: I think you mean I’m Livestreaming you right now. But I’m not doing that either. You’re definitely imagining it.
Just find something wild on tiktok and paste it
just sends 3 minutes of my apartment with no sound
Could still be worse. They can still mandate that you post it on a paid service. That they own.
If we let the door open it will end up being used for profit and we know it.
Better to either get ahead and file several suits against the companies for discrimination based off of sex/gender/race/ early to scare them away, because if that doesnt work we’d have to start burning down their corporate headquarters. Which sounds a bit extreme.
Imagine having been forced to submit several minute long videos of you posted to online forums that will never go away at 16 until 70. Every mistake / strange life choice preserved and used against you. “Don’t apply there, is what people would say at first, its your choice, your not forced to work for them” yet the number of companies asking would slowly increase and the job pools would slowly become smaller and smaller where it wasnt required until it became standard.
If we think customer facing jobs already discriminate based upon attractiveness, that would grow by a lot, and even the companies not trying to would subconsciously do it.
You realize that’s the next step, right?
Me recording my voice to random video gameplay.
“Yah, so on this level the skip was a fairly contemporary tech discovered by Tyler, who goes by b0igus, during a livestream charity. I can’t do it that well but I’ll try.”
Keep dying on a simple jump or the first enemy for 2 minutes and then end the video abruptly.
“It should start clipping right… Now! Fuck!”, “I think I’m approaching it from slightly wrong angle… Lemme see… Fuck!”, “What? God damn, my controller just died. Fuck! Oh well, lemme get the cable. Hang on a minute…”, “I really don’t want to check the b0igus video right now. I mean I’ve done it before, it’s just… Fuck!” and so on.
I mean, I’d watch it.
Luckily somebody circled it for us, I’m not sure I would’ve known what was being pointed out to use otherwise.
