After thinking about it, I bet this is just an attempt for TTA to grab everyone's attention because exposition has switched from him to Jay. He's just jealous.

I recognized that voice the moment I heard it in AdrianHD's decryption. That's Mike at the AT&T Text to Speech generator. Sample below was generated from the following script:

The whole electronic voice thing reminds me of a theory I had way back in season one:

TTA = The Operator/Slenderman/whatever you want to call him

Bear with me for a moment, and then you can ram trucks through the holes.

The Operator obviously has some sort of electronic influence on the world around him. He also seems more or less content to observe. But also seems to want something. Whether that be the Ark or...something else entirely, something is keeping him around.

Therefore his presence on youtube is part of his electronic influence. There is no actual person sitting at a computer uploading videos. TTA's videos are simply the manifestations of the Operator. The codes, the puzzles, the odd visual presentations are all byproducts of his inability to communicate effectively with humans. When he asks "Are you drowning" it's because it's a concept he doesn't quite understand given whatever apparent relationship with water he seems to have.

This relationship could also be one of conductive purposes. Rather than protection it might be quite the opposite. (I remember a lot of people talking about Tim notably drinking water. Inviting him in?) The rain with the power lines (and the goofy backwards S that never seemed to get fully explained) and now this view of some watery vision of some type.

"I will always know you." "Do you know me?" While menacing on some level could be attempts at communication, though possibly misguided.

Sidenote: Is there any evidence to suggest that Alex could be the source of visual tearing that we associate with the Operator. I mean he was holding the camera for pretty much all of season one. Could he have been closer than we thought for when we didn't see him?

Actually, there's tearing in all of those videos. I know for a fact that 14 has it happen right in the beginning, it's just hard to see because it's so dark. I'm pretty sure that in entry 7 it does tear as well. 11... I don't know, actually. I'd have to re-watch it.

EDIT: Yea, 11 doesn't have any tearing, though it could've happened before the segment that Jay posted. The single visual tear seems to announce the Operator's arrival, so maybe it happened before Alex got up and started moving around.

i still think TTA is not a minion to the operator. i believe the operator doesn't interact with humans at all (save for when he makes them disappear or pass out.) that's what makes him horrifying for me.

To me, TTA being the Operator would make TTA a lot scarier. But it'd also make The Operator a lot less scary. I mean, creating the videos with his mind is better than Slenderman just sitting down at a desk, but it's still too...."human" for Slenderman to be conversing with the protagonist =/
