    Yeah, it always seems that every time someone questions the wisdom or validity of this analogy seems not to understand it.

    It’s either the misunderstanding that the constraints of the hypothetical are finite (a million vs. infinity).

    Or the insistence that any sufficiently infinitesimal chance is “practically zero”, when literally any likelihood multiplied by infinity is going to guarantee an occurrence.

    You can actually expand the infinite monkey theory to say that an infinite number of monkeys using typewriters for an infinite amount of time would write every single book ever written in any language the keyboard is capable of typing, as well as every possible book that could ever even theoretically exist, an infinite number of times, and still be correct.

    Any infinite set of random (or even semi-random) characters will contain every possible set of characters that could ever exist, of any length. The works of Shakespeare are also encoded into Pi, we just haven’t calculated enough digits to discover one yet (and very likely never will).

    How is this an example of failed privacy?

    YouTube is a video sharing site. People pushed a button to share their videos. They wanted people to see these.

    These videos aren’t much different than what you find on Facebook or Instagram today, it’s just that over the past decade people have gotten better at naming and categorizing what they post.

    The real quirk here is that the app made it way too easy to upload the default filenames, so we can now search for them specifically like a little time capsule.
