my strange discovery, bitview:

on April 14th 2023, when I was just researching, I found out about bitview.

bitview is a youtube clone that started out in 2017. at its launch, it looked like youtube from 2005. and over the years, bitview went through the history f youtube's design. and it currently looks like youtube from 2010.

everything about the youtube ui from 2010 was replicated except for the blue theme instead of red.
