Could be a number station equivalent for ww access or conceptual "art" project.
Either way I don't understand it.

i'd say it's more than likely some web service someone was working on
for transcoding and uploading video clips to youtube, and accidentally left it fired up.

There are many automated VOD systems that publish straight to youtube.

If you play them altogether in a continuous stream......
you can load Pitfall onto a ZX Spectrum.

This can't really be called clandestine if it is in the public domain.

the Grauniad solved it yesterday
or rather someone on Boing Boing did 5 days ago:-
"I went to an automation conference at Google in 2013. There is a European steaming set top box software company that uses webdriver and an image recognition library to validate their encoder and upload works properly. Before they used a more complex image to validate but then switched to a very flat white and red box to make it easy for the image recognition to validate. These videos are it." - isaulv isaul

Internet Number Stations miss the point entirely
The point of a Numbers Station is to be able to communicate with spies working in the field, right? These spies work in places were internet is not available, so they use shortwave radio, because you can pick up a SW set pretty much anywhere round the world.
Also it's worth pointing out that Number Stations work by keeping their recipient secret (they don't care if people know who is broadcasting). Accessing a website leaves a trace back to the recipient, something which an analogue broadcast can't do.
