Charlie bit me
The most-watched thing on YouTube for four years, and a video whose entire content is two small children and a bitten finger.

What this was
Two brothers sit in a chair together. The younger one bites the older one’s finger; the older one puts it back and is bitten harder, protests, and then laughs anyway. It runs fifty-six seconds.
It first appeared in 2012, during the social era. Uploaded by Sam Johnson.
The family auctioned the video as an NFT in May 2021 for about $761,000. The buyer initially considered taking it down for good; it was off YouTube until January 2024, and is back.
