Re: Russian Dude Records Himself Taking a Shotgun to the Dome
Video 1444: The Viral YouTube ‘Curse’ Video Explained Share on Facebook Share on Flipboard Share via E-mailMore share options 426.9K Views 150 Shares By Tom Cleary Updated Oct 22, 2019 at 9:29pm video 1444 youtube YouTube Video 1444 has gone viral on YouTube. Video 1444 is a YouTube video that has gone viral as part of a purported “curse” story. The graphic video has been spread to social media users who are unaware of what they are clicking on. The grisly video shows a Russian man dying by suicide by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun while sitting on a couch. The 17-second video appears to have been shared previously on sites and in communities that post extremely graphic photos and videos known as gore. The video began trending the weekend of October 19 and October 20 on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Google. Multiple versions of the video have been uploaded on YouTube and social media sites with different titles, many including the term “video 1444.” Social media users have linked to the video without informing those who are clicking on it what is in the video in a morbid “Rickroll” style. A YouTube spokesperson said in a statement to Heavy, “YouTube has a clear policy that prohibits content promoting self-harm, and we quickly remove videos violating this policy.” According to YouTube, content that promotes self harm or is intended to shock or disgust users is explicitly prohibited by its policies. YouTube says it has expanded its use of automated systems to flag and remove content that violates its policies more quickly, according to a recent blog post. YouTube’s most recent quarterly Community Guidelines Enforcement Report shows that over 87 percent of the 9 million videos removed by YouTube in the second quarter of 2019 were flagged first by its automated system. More than 80 percent of those videos flagged by the automated system were removed before they received a single view, according to YouTube. Here is what you need to know about the video 1444 YouTube trend: The Video Shows an 18-Year-Old Russian Teen Shooting Himself in the Head During a Livestream on the Social Media Site VK gleb korbalev video 1444 Gleb Korbalev. The video is real. The man in the video is an 18-year-old from Russia named Gleb Korbalev, according to Twitter user Jaxieon, who discovered the details behind the video on Russian websites. Korbalev was a university student in Moscow. He live-streamed his suicide on the Russian social media website VK, which is similar to Facebook. The video was spread on VK, and also on Telegram and a Russian site called 2ch. The 17-second video shows a man sitting on a couch in front of a painting holding a Saiga-12 shotgun to his head. He makes a brief statement in Russian and then pulls the trigger. A gunshot can be heard and the brutal aftermath of the shooting is seen. He appears to be saying, “good bye,” in Russian, before pulling the trigger. A longer version of the video shows Korbalev’s body on the couch for more than two hours before police arrive. If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, the toll-free National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential. You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line, which provides 24/7 support with a trained crisis counselor. You canalso call the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) helpline at 1-800-950-6264, or text NAMI to 741741. NAMI also has programs for family and caregivers that provide education and support. The video went viral after it was posted a now-deleted YouTube channel called GORE. It was up for about 16 hours before it was deleted, according to YouTube users who saw the original video before it was deleted. The channel and the video have since been taken down, but the clip has been reuploaded hundreds of times. The video has also been shared with a “creepypasta“-esque story about it being tied to a curse. Viewers are warned that by viewing the video, they will be cursed. The “curse” story claims that the curse can be broken by replying to the video with a version of the date October 20, such as 20-10-19. Hope not a repost |

Re: Russian Dude Records Himself Taking a Shotgun to the Dome
Years ago, I used to think that those who committed suicide were cowards. Then after seeing videos on here, it was painfully apparent that most feel it's the only way out- to fight against that most basic instinct to survive. If they're lucky, they still feel trapped despite having people around them who care about them. Bozhe moi.

Re: Russian Dude Records Himself Taking a Shotgun to the Dome
Very interesting comment. I have never thought anyone was a coward for committing suicide. It takes a lot of willpower to kill yourself, the human body doesn't want to die!
