Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

          It’s from the Crab Rave music video.

          Noisestorm, the artist who made Crab Rave, is also working on a game currently called Crab Champions. It’s in early access on steam, super fun

            Is there an actual tangent between this pic and that video/song/work?

              So, this is not a picture of a place. It is a computer generated graphic of an island which was made for the music video.

              The reason you’re seeing it now is simply because the person demonstrating the load time discrepancy chose to use this video in particular. The video was most likely chosen arbitrarily and due to it being popular (270m views and counting)

                It’s often used by the channels of Linus Media Ground for audio demonstrations of the hardware they showcase.

          Like other said, no lol i’m just pulling your leg

          But there’s Christmas Island where the crab is protected, and every mating season they will travel toward the sea to spread their egg and they swarm like ant. Interesting creature, look up some video you’ll love it.
