YouTube was around in 2007, so why Dailymotion? Because Greg’s video contained a clip of a copyrighted 1980s pop song. YouTube’s copyright bot flagged it in 12 seconds.

Dailymotion was the Wild West back then. It didn’t care about copyright. So the video lived there, hidden in plain sight, like a weird statue in a forgotten park.
Today, it has 3.7 million views. That’s more than some actual Hollywood trailers. And the comments section is a digital asylum of jokes, memes, and conspiracy theories.
The Real Secret: It’s a Performance Art Prank
Here’s the kicker: Greg admitted in a 2019 Reddit AMA that the whole thing was a prank. He said, and I quote, “I wanted to see if people would invent a meaning if I gave them nothing.”
And they did. People wrote 50-page essays about how the flickering light represented “the fragility of modern commitment.” Greg just forgot to replace a burnt-out bulb in his dorm room.
The “vows” are random numbers because Greg lost the script. He told the actors to count from 1 to 10 in binary. That’s it. That’s the big secret.
