Very nifty, I like it quite a bit.

I wonder if instead of black+repeating images (assumption here is that's the display and not an artifact of the firehose, the same unique image often repeats a lot in the same short instance) it'd be cleaner to have some sort of exponential backoff queue (the closer it is to empty the slower it empties like 0.5s/numInQueue, last element in queue will wait no less than 0.5s but also wait for the next element to queue). This would make the flow a bit more consistent, never blank, and never repeating.

Also if images kept their aspect ratio.

I like the concept, but it is flashing way too fast. Maybe do a random selection every 1 sec, rather than a straight fire hose ?

Is there any way to make it flash less? I'm not epileptic, and I appreciate that you put a warning first, but it's still highly unpleasant after around 2 seconds. If I could look at it for a bit long it would be a cool experiment.

I've got the perfect soundtrack for it (flashing lights warning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNtxgxYY7sI&t=66s

Feels like let's get people to invest in our platform and once they're locked in make them pay.
