+ Detailed Transcript

[0:00] Black screen.
[0:02] Footage is black and white and poorly lit as if it was shot at night. Shot of what could be cracks in cement.
[0:03] Shot of a long, vertical line shaped object, could be one of the wood supports on either side of the bench.
[0:04] A large white object is shown, most likely a close-up of the bench shown later.
[0:04] A shot of a bench from the front.
[0:06] Black screen with white text:

"YEARS WASTED"

[0:08] Shot of the bench from the side.
[0:10] Two white circles, possibly eyes, appear to the left of the bench in the darkness.
[0:11] Black screen with white text:

"YOU'VE DONE"

[0:13] Another word appears below the first two:

"YOU'VE DONE"
"NOTHING"

[0:14] Spinning view of what could be leaves close up.
[0:16] Shot of two boards meeting perpendicularly with an ornate s-shaped connector. A strange face is drawn on the right board that has spinning stars for eyes.
[0:17] An operator symbol appears over the face, words appear in the bottom left:

SO MUCH
MORE
THAN TIME
HAS BEEN
TAKEN

[0:20] A shot to the pole object from 0:03.
[0:21] Close up of the two white circles.
[0:23] Video ends.

Main Theories and Observations

• Is the video referencing Jay, who posted the video or Alex who was wielding the camera? Perhaps Alex has been carrying on an unsuccessful campaign against the Operator. ~mytyde
• The description is base64 for "54321" ~ nbdyxvi from the UnFiction Forum
• The "eyes" at the end of the video look like they belong to a dog. You can kind of see an ear flicker on the left side, and the light sort of glints off a snout. Maybe Alex's dog Rocky? ~Jaemi
• I find it strange that the drawing of the Operator has eyes and a mouth. I wonder if it's a direct contradiction, or if the symbol over it is backing up the theory that the circle represents the face, and the cross a lack of. -ResearcherTeague
• I didn't see that drawing as the Operator. To me, I saw that it has a mouth like the Skully mask, so whoever that character is, that's who I thought had been "taken"—if it was one of the original cast, he would be more valuable than time to the people who knew him or her.~elford
• The bench shown looks a lot like the one from Entry #1 on Alex's front porch. -potatoatak
• It does seem like this is revolving around Alex's original surroundings, if the bench and Rocky theory are to be believed.

Further Speculation

• I think the description may be the ending of a youtube video url, however I tried the thing forwards and backwards and it doesn't seem to work. Deivid
  • It's been proven above that the description is a base64 countdown.
• The word "nothing" being placed under "you've done" may be a subtle hint to reinterpret the order of the words in the phrase to be "You've done so much… more than time has been taken." ~mytyde
• I think the "eyes" at the end is a black and white video of hoody's mask, colors inverted. It turns to the side a bit, and it looks like something is coming down from the eye on the left, but I think it's the fabric. ~elford
• Using the description (counting down) and going through the TTA videos, five videos from this one leads to the first TTA video in season 3. Reminder contains footage of Jay looking into the antique shop, and TTA is filming Jay. These are both contradictions of the description 'blind', as they are both looking, in ways. -ResearcherTeague
