okay so i was holding off on elaborating on this until i had more proof that i was right, but i think i've stumbled onto an ARG in its infancy [THREAD]
the account in question is @NONAIM00000000
they make these videos with a series of little beeps and squares. their first post popped up as a related tweet under something else i was looking at, and after following the account, they instantly followed back.

the second video has the same beeps as the first one, but changes it up and switches the beeps to the left and right of the screen. the beeps are grouped in sections of eight, which helped @AlabasterMothra and i figure out it's communicating through binary. this one just said "i"
my current theory is that the three beeps at the beginning and end act as a signature, kind of like a greeting.
the third video is a bit longer, but it confirms that the account (who we've affectionately started calling "beepy") is communicating through binary, with lower beeps being 0 and higher being 1.
this one says "exist."
the message in full so far is
"i exist."
this one says "exist."
the message in full so far is
"i exist."
video four continues the binary theme. at this point i'm pretty confident that the beginning and end beeps arent important for understanding the message. this one translates to "just"
"i exist. just"
"i exist. just"
again, the same with video five. this one translates to "like".
"i exist. just like"
"i exist. just like"
video six is where things get real interesting. the binary spells out "you." so the full message reads "i exist. just like you."
but you see that garbled mess at the end? we struggled to figure that one out.

in the interim, @AlabasterMothra went on to tweet "i exist. just like you." as a reply to the account's sixth video. the result was this.
i should mention that the bio of the account has been periodically changing to give us hints on how to solve the code.
i don't have a screencap of it, but the account's bio changed to include a little note that read "x0.25", hinting at us to slow the audio down to 25%.
after doing so, @AxelVei noted it sounded like an SSTV transmission, and he was right.

so @WolfRock3012 ran the audio through an SSTV decoder and got these results. there's something clearly there.
i gave it a go this morning and got a much clearer image.
"i exist. just like you."
"i exist. just like you."
i replied to the latest video with that image, and sure enough...
so that brings you all up to speed with where we are in this mystery. i'm praying that this is an ARG and not a marketing thing, because i'm really enjoying solving these puzzles.
i'll add to the thread as the situation develops. until then, feel free to dm me if you wanna join my discord server where we now have a channel dedicated to deciphering beepy.
and no, i’m not behind this ARG. i just happened to find it first.
update! @SyncEditor messaged beepy and asked if it wanted to talk in binary
they received a video in response with another SSTV signal...
...which returns this image.
we've figured out that this is a code written in binary as well! groups of eight. it spells "hi"
current trends seem to be that when it transmits sstv, the audio needs to be slowed down to 25% before it can be decoded. not sure if there's any meaning behind it, but it sure is interesting!
we asked it what it's name is and it replied with another sstv
resulting image is another binary code, it says "N/A".
guess we're calling 'em "beepy" for now.

please use #NONAIM for posting information about @NONAIM00000000 It’ll make discussion about this easier
i’m keeping this thread active for all my groups findings or any other major developments though

update time! there have been two new videos since i last posted. video seven's binary code translates to "Bene factum." meaning "good job" in latin. it's praising us for catching on so quick.
there's also the noise at the beginning, but it's not an SSTV signal, and i don't know how to decode it, so that's still pending.
video eight has some more binary code in it, translating to "Are you mortal?"
i personally believe this is a way for it to try and see if we are the same as it or different, but that's open to interpretation.

also, i've since asked it privately in DMs what the dots at the beginning and end mean. all i got in response was an audio file which is an SSTV signal with this image as the output.
the binary code on this translates to "Breathing."
THE DOTS AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF EVERY POST ARE IT BREATHING.
it exists. just like us.

i forgot to mention, we have the introduction of a new face! the seventh video has the previously discovered image in it (this one)...
...but the eighth video has this new face in the static.
(it's hard to see, but it's there)
