So, here's what I have so far:

The visible letters in the pictures, 7 for the number of zeros, and then 41 for the row of zeroes at the bottom. That's only 10 letters though and we need 11 for the YouTube link.

S I 0/O 7 W X 7 J 4 1

The second set of numbers is blurry, if that means anything.

And how does it colerate with the image? It's not the solution...

I think I solve it!
Look what happens when I comabine "R3BU5" and "2SG2ewS3J1c"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3bU52SG2ew

The video is unavilabe.
"is still secure."

Every video youtube links has 11 letters.
For example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIMLoLxmTDw

XIMLoLxmTDw = 11 letters.


r3bU52SG2ew = 11 letters.
therefore, this is the full part of the youtube link.

If you enter a wrong ID it will always tell you "This video is unavailable".
Rebus is (probably) just a clue to what the image actually means.

ummmm, thats a link that leads nowhere. Any wrong link will lead to a 'video is unavailable' youtube page.

The picture of John Hanna is from a show called Rebus!

this lead me to the following. A rebus generator: http://rebus1.com/en/index.php?item=rebu...kip=1&mode=

This looks exactly like what the picture is showing us!

You can literally spew any 11 character string like that and it gives the same result. How did that solve anything?

Those letters aren't random. They were found from the research.
But who knows, maybe i'm wrong. Only time will tell.

OK, this section that was tweeted "IGN /lo/up/" -> [""]? basically means "anything with IGN (LOwercase and UPercase) will be removed.

I believe all of the 'lo' in the images stand for LOWERCASE.
Meaning the corresponding letter for the picture is a lowercase letter, which is how we tell how to type it in the youtube link

this would make sense.. but its "io" not "lo"... so nope.

You are wrong. Time has told

Dude, what.
R3bU5 was just a clue that we were meant to recognize as rebus. Only issue is that we were too dense at the time to see it.
Also, just mashing together those two strings is not indicated by anything we have discovered.
There are a lot of Youtube videos, and sometimes you stumble on stuff like this.
Hell, in a spooky coincidence, 2SG2ewS3J1c gives us Ringu.
