Original Unnamed Series
The “original unnamed series” consists of over 48,000 videos uploaded to the first YouTube channel between April 5, 2015 and February 25, 2016. It includes the first known video posted to the channel (♐980708) as well as the last (♐612831). All titles in this series consist of the Sagittarius symbol (♐) followed by a seemingly randomly generated number ranging from 23 to 999997. Many videos share the same titles. 26 distinct sub-series (seasons) have been identified within the original unnamed series. The audio and visual content of these videos has been the subject of much analysis.
48258 videos from this series have been archived, though it is unknown if this constitutes the full extent of the series.
Video and Audio Analysis
All videos in this series have a resolution of 50 x 50 and play at 30 fps. The vast majority are 4 seconds long, though some are considerably longer. Videos feature a solid background color with a single black pixel (dot) at a seemingly random location. A compression artifact is typically seen around the dot, and in some videos the dot is obscured or absent entirely. Both the background color and dot location remain static throughout the video duration.
Many videos feature readings by the unknown voice. Audio heard in this series includes:
- a single letter or digit spoken aloud
- a full set of letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9) spoken aloud
- thumping or mic bump sounds
- fragments from the “calliope” music heard in ♐DELOCK, played at various speeds
- various tones and distorted sounds
- silence

GSM
In December 2024, after the discovery of GSM-like audio in Lock: Discord user Fufeng Industries says:
“example.wav” is the exact same sound from the numbered series, I will find it and repost it here so it will be easier to compare.
There are 40 videos in the numbered series that have this specific sound in them.
I have slowed the audio from the numbered series video “♐337321-aVuE7bgfPuI” and have been granted LOCK-esque wubbs:
I took the LOCK audio, separated the right channel and sped it up 77 times. Behold, this is the GSM-type sound that was just discussed:
Seasons
Reddit user u/McSweepyPants first noted in a post on the subreddit the existence of several sub-series within the original unnanmed series, which he dubbed “seasons”. Further analysis of upload dates, composites, and transcripts has led to the identification of 26 distinct seasons within the original unnamed series.
