most interesting to who? to all mankind or just to you?
interest is subjective, so it would be "almost" impossible to scrutinize every person on earth and tabulate their responses to arrive at an answer, so i assume you mean "most interesting to only me".

i have not yet spent my entire life, and therefore i allow that more interesting videos than the ones that are currently favored by me will be witnessed by me in the future.

so for that primary reason, i can not post any video that is "most" interesting to me because my life is not over.

additionally, if one wanted to strip the "future" dimension away from the question, and ask simply "post the most interesting video you have ever seen before", i still would not be able to decide. my different interests are completely unrelated, and i get just as hungry to satisfy the appetites of all my pursuits, and so i consume many and varied streams of information that feed each of my inquiries.

i can not isolate only one video experience to classify it as the "most" interesting video clip i have ever seen.

How do you get a philosopher off your porch? Pay for the pizza.
Just joking, actually I have a degree in philosophy.
Just enjoy the vid.

How can you not love the unexpected result? The lions (bullys* )were defeated by cows.

What's interesting to me might not be interesting to everybody else, so I think I'll pass.

Then why post anything? There is no guarantee that people will be fascinated.

I made myself stick with watching it...I hate to see animals suffer.

Those who feel the same should be warned it contains some of that. It's a watering hole with animals and some aren't so friendly to other animals.

But the ending is pretty awesome.

you asked for potential respondents to post "most interesting videos". the wording of that implies, by default, that the response videos should be the most interesting videos appealing to the widest audience.

maybe your topic should have been worded "Post videos that you find the most interesting". (i think i said that last night, but considering i am in the act of typing my reply, i can not be bothered firing up another tab to check what i said last night).

if someone posted a topic titled "What are the best songs ever created", i would think that many people would be modest enough to refrain from presuming that their quality of judgement could justify their responses, and i would expect a thread titled in that way to be rather sparsely active and short lived.

if, on the other hand, if the thread was titled "what is the song that you like the most", it would immediately become a dumping ground for a plethora of music videos posted by people who wish to foist their tastes upon the table of inspection.

i have been enthralled by many videos (thousands of them) that i know would not appeal to anyone i cared to show them to.

the attention spans of humans are very fickle. they are tenuously attached to what is their idea of the "glitziest" thing in their field of vision. there is usually some social ulterior motive behind their interests in what i show them. i am not caught in the world of worry that no one else is interested in the peculiar things i am interested in.

Me, too, but only because I've been tempted to do so for the past day. Hopefully I found something that will also interest others, as well.
