I didn't even notice the switch... I've had this queued for a good chunk of the day, but I do remember the 'MEdia' part because I'm stoned and the title sent me on a bit of a word association with MEdia. It was rather insightful journey to the inner machinations of the MSM.
yeah i remember wanting to watch someone's full katana zero playthrough a few weeks after they had played it on twitch and had created an edited version of their 1st and 2nd playthrough for youtube. They had told me they didn't archive it cuz they didn't think anyone would want to watch it lol Twitch sucks lol
That and Twitch has changed how they archive streams over the years. It didn't hit me until this video that several streams I watched years ago are completely lost outside of the ones that were reuploaded by fans or the streamer themselves to RUclips.
I have an idea for a piece of content: The Diary of Margot Frank. Anne Frank's sister wrote a diary too, but it was lost to history. (There is a dubious pretender, however, so when you look it up, be careful. This person made a re-imagining of the diary but framed it in a way that it looks like the real diary). However, the true Diary of Margot Frank is still lost, and we may never know her thoughts and ideas. I think this is a piece worth mentioning in some future video.
@@AllThingsLost you are more responsible than me. I would’ve absolutely put one in, maybe even three entries after the one in which you talked about it.
Yeah, I've seen lists showing all the various fanfiction purges throughout fandom history. There's a lot of them, which is what led to the existence of AO3.
As someone who was a weird kid who grew up in the weird/obscure side of the internet, there is definitely a LOT of content from that time that was lost to time and will never be seen again and I think about it a lot.
I wonder just how many YTPs have become lost forever due to copyright strikes with the creator being inactive or no longer caring about YTPs or no longer having the file I remember watching one SpongeBob YTP of Band Geeks and Graveyard Shift where they replaced SpongeBob with Slim Shady, that got taken down years ago due to copyright strikes and I'll probably never see it again
I recall my first exposure to Avatar: The Last Airbender was a series of various YTP that I used to watch all the time. I can still remember quite a few of them. Video is definitely lost now.
YTP star wars: the last dank Jedi is partially lost. A RUclipsr called nathanf1989 reacted to it, but since reactors have to talk during their reactions, not all dialogue is heard clearly.
This might sound dramatic but it makes me so sad knowing at one point in time those videos were meant to be viewed and enjoyed by us. Now they're all alone either on a hard drive or lost to the void that is the internet, never to see the light of the day.
Larry Bundy is a surprisingly prolific commentor, for being on the creative side. It’s crazy how often I go to comment on a random video, and see him down there.
Unpopular opinion but I really dislike Larry Bundy. He's a nice guy, but I just really can't stand his voice. The problem is that whenever I see his comment, my brain reads it in his voice which drives me nuts.
That first thing you said was very interesting it got me thinking. "Everything you post on the internet stays forever," which may make people assume that other people will back up something like a video or a site. And is like, "I don't have to save up this video because someone will," and if everyone has this mentality, then nothing is being saved and so nothing really stays on the internet forever. Very interesting.

If you are to do a part 3, I know a few lost videos from a obscure/lesser known RUclipsrs: Swordless Link: Took down an entire playtrough of the Rom Hack, Super Mario Star Road. He never gave a reason and the series is now lost. IceyPie: Took down a series of videos where he would tell stories that happened to him in school. All three of those videos are gone. They were removed, as he shifted the tone of his channel and they didn’t fit well. Apollo Legend: Took down a series of videos going over infamous Donkey Kong cheater Billy Mitchell, and how he faked his records. They were removed in 2020, due to Billy Mitchell attempting to take legal action. Gaming Historian: Took down a video called “How I Clean Retro Games” in 2020. The reason was because he went over a technique that could potentially damage game cartridges. Scykoh: Took down his review of the game Space Channel 5 (i wanna say in 2017 or 2018), as he was not satisfied with how the video turned out. These are only some examples of smaller channels deleting videos, but some of them (like the Billy Mitchell videos), could be worth a discussion.
WalrusGuy was a famous and very talented RUclips Poop maker but he unfortunately deleted most of his videos. His fans reuploaded some of his videos to RUclips but many videos are still lost.
Suggestion: The entire album "Somebody's Ugly Daughter" is missing. The album is notable for having featured 90's Mariah Carey on it, and there used to be a youtube upload of the album which was ~38 minutes long. I remember the first track was "Dirty Joe" about a man - Joe - trying to touch the singer in her sleep. The last song was named something aboht a stork, and in the middle was a cover of "Surrender". There are two videos of two of the albums tracks, Malibu and Demented. Demented was near the end and Malibu in the first 3, I think 2nd song.
There are copies of the album out there, you just have to know where to look, especially within the last year after she announced her involvement in the album, with fans of Mariah looking for and making copies of the album. I myself have a lossless copy of the album, plus Mariah herself is still looking for the original board mixes as she has found the version of the album with her lead vocals on, so it will probably get a rerelease at some point.
One thing i found out was that the videos from "The Hub" weren't really deleted, they just show up as "under review" or something like that, so if they decide to ever revert the change they can just bring them all back at once.
Yes that's true, and also it was meant like that for the case that if one of those people that uploaded their videos consentually and wasn't verified, they could actually do the verification process and have all of those videos re instated, i mean i remember that in thr first days you coudl actually sometimes found some videos on an unverified channel.
I noticed that. I have an old phone that I had to use as a backup for a couple days when my main phone was destroyed. Had quite alot of those "This video is under review" videos saved as bookmarks. Ahh the bliss of 2014 life.
When he first brought up The Hub I had a brief thought of, "Wait I think I know something that might have been lost from The Hub" and in a millisecond I lost what I was thinking about. I guess The Hub turned my single braincell into Lost Media as well.
You bringing up our trust in RUclips in saving our older videos, reminded me of when RUclips accidentally corrupted the audio of a bunch of old videos. The fact that this can happen is very scary. Some notable videos that were corrupted are Ariel needs legs and the original what’s Dylan grillin’ video both uploaded by Neil Cicierega.

I haven't really watch too much of Erika's videos, but his death hit me hard and still makes me really sad. When the news first broke out about his death, I could not stop thinking about him for weeks, and just seeing the thumbnail made me sad. I can't imagine how hard it is for his biggest fans.
All things lost you know what I find really interesting is that the NSA seeing as they have made backups of every single upload since the internet was born somewhere in an NSA storage facility all these pieces of lost media are just sitting around collecting dust. I wonder if a NSA employee would ever consider doing an Edward Snowden level leak or mass upload of all these pieces of lost media; Just food for thought.
I never considered that the NSA might have backups of lost media. I love the idea that the government might be sitting on the only surviving copy of Mario 64 Big Star Secret.
SomeCallMeJohnny is a RUclipsr, dating back to 2008, who's been making content since the channel's creation. He's garnered most of his popularity from his Sonic videos, which started with the first "Month of Sonic" where he reviewed the 3D Sonic games in preperation for Sonic Unleashed, though unfortunately only his Sonic 06 review, as well as part of his Shadow the Hedgehog video, albeit sped up and without audio. The rest have been lost since he deleted those old videos, itd be great to have someone cover his lost media to get some attention on them, since as a newer fan I didnt get a chance to watch the older videos. Itd be great if you could include it in a potential part 3!
Cool video! The first part is one of my favorites you’ve made, I suggested Nickelodeon lost media on Twitter and I wanted to give some suggestions if you ever plan on making the video. Spongebob rehydrated lost audio, Ned’s declassified lost pilot, that one episode of double dare where a kid broke a bone, all that, and the Nickelodeon level creator game, I’d really love if a lost Nickelodeon media video was made but you can do what you want to do!
One piece of lost internet media that I really wish I could find is this video of The History of Japan by Bill Wurtz but the uploader added other Bill Wurtz shorts into it. I really liked that video and it sucks that I haven't been able to find it and I don't even remember who uploaded it either.
I'm glad you brought up FFN's purge, but it should be noted that it wasn't just NC-17 fics that they purged! They removed script fics, song fics, and the ENTIRE MST3K SECTION. They were also known to allow people to "revenge-report" fics--essentially reporting a fic that didn't actually violate any rules to get it removed. A few of my old fics got taken down that way, though luckily they weren't particularly great, so not much was lost in that case. Can't say the same for the removal of the entire MST3K section.
There’s a lot of music that was put on RUclips that’s also lost as a result of either channels being deleted by RUclips or the person who used to run it, & channels removing videos
I need to go to my moms house one of these days and look at all the vhs shows she taped for me as a kid. I would love to discover some kind of lost media!
If you ever did a third video on this I’d add a section covering anything4views’ twitch highlights channel, the old gaming videos and Kickstarter crap videos from iDubbbz, the lost MaxMoeFoe videos and the lost filthy Frank pinky guy songs.
I'm glad you brought up the adult content. Many sites are now purging these photos and videos. My Wife and I were unverified on Hub, and had all our content deleted. Lucky for me, I always keep backups of all content. Good Thing we still have xhamster !
You should cover Shroom Tube next. He was a lost media RUclipsr from the mid 2010s, and then he just vanished and never came back. Some archives of his videos have been created but most are lost.
Lord ain't that ironic? He was the guy that introduced me to lost media all that time ago, I remember watching his video a lot back in the day as well as when he stopped doing them. Sad but sorta fitting in a way, a man who talked about lost media becoming lost media.
I covered 5 of the biggest lost media searches in a previous video: ruclips.net/video/cQuu5POHbSU/видео.html I like the idea of covered fake lost media, thanks for the suggestions.
Holy crap, I remember Big Star Secret. I don't have it unfortunately, but I do distinctly remember the last few seconds was Mario going up to the center of the wall in the Courtyard, he stands there idly for a few seconds, then the jumpscare occurs. I don't remember the song, but I at least remember it was a rock song in the background and no ingame sound effects.
As soon as I heard "it was a screamer!" I just NOPE'd on right out of the video I am still not at all over the countless screamers I encountered as a baby boy on the RUclipss.
Not sure how to not awkwardly comment a suggestion but a suggestion nonetheless: the original build or any builds from the release year (2006) of the now massive online game platform Roblox are completely lost, with even screenshots being scarce and ESPECIALLY videos (only 4 have been discovered, with 2 coming from the developers and the other 2 being reuploaded), and I would love for it to be covered it another video of this series as when more people find out, it becomes more likely for someone to come forward with it.
I can think of Mr. Creepypasta's narrations of creepypasta stories written by author "Slimebeast". His videos of "abandoned by disney", "Room Zero" and "I hate you" were my favorite from that channel, and they were all taken down :(
Funny thing about the Hub having a lot of its content deleted. I remember one person saying they watched SpongeBob there. I even say bit of Avengers Endgame on there while the movie was still in theaters
ScrewAttack has a huge amount of lost videos, many lost during a merger into its current Death Battle branding, and most videos made before 2010 are difficult to find or lost entirely.
RE: the hub. The SFW section of that website used to be a goldmine for hilarious short content and even unofficially uploaded (said in this way to avoid removal myself) movies and episodes of TV shows, none of which had anything to do with the intended nature of the website. I even watched an entire j-pop concert on there in full HD once. If you could tolerate the advertisements (or use a good ad blocker) it was a fun and strange place for reasons completely unintended.
I have screenshots of someone that uploaded several railroad videos to the site. All from California. All had the hashtag train porn. They started popping up in meme groups on FB just before the purge.
I lost some of my favorite videos during the hub purge, mostly from a niche fetish I am interested in that was almost entirely wiped out. None of it was criminal that I know of, but its gone
I remember the Fanfiction Purge - a lot of these fanfics weren't "novels" but rather outright plagiarism. The section "Cartoon X-overs" was full of them, they just copypasted the scripts from known series in the internet and replaced names with other characters. It was an extremely lazy thing (not to mention illegal) and honestly it was about time fanfiction dot net took some action against it.
Also if someone did write a novel length story, they should have backed it up in other places, word documents are small and I back up my important ones.
Not all fics that were deleted were plagiarism though. They also took down a lot of script fics and the entire MST3K section--which, yeah, some people were writing MSTs (which are horrible), but there were also just... legit MST3K fics there. I never read many of them, but I had friends who did, and they were devastated when FFN deleted them without warning.
Another thing you could talk about are lost RUclips comments. Comments on vgm uploads like Brawl are gone now thanks to copyright takedowns, and there were some very well thought out comments that are now lost forever.
Nice video as always dude. There are a couple of videos that I remembered seeing from very early RUclips that I think are considered lost since I can't really find them anymore, or maybe I am searching up the wrong words but there is these certain videos I've been trying to find for years and that is Roushutsu's Sonic cartoons retrospective. It is a multipart Sonic retrospective that talks about the history of Sonic in animation, mostly his many animated series. This was made way before Sonic Boom was a thing so this was a pretty old video series and I can't find it anywhere here in RUclips. My guess is to why these videos are lost is because they were in her old deleted channel, which, long story short, she was a commentary (it was actually the very first commentary channel I have ever discovered. They were very different from what we got nowadays), Which the majority of those videos are also lost though there are some that have been archived, Those after that channel was terminated, she made a second channel, Roushutsurises, which is still up however, all of the videos of that channel except for her Four Sword Adventure manga retrospective video series has been deleted. Not sure if the Sonic Animation retrospective and the other videos will ever resurface but I been wondering that for years. Another piece of lost Internet media is pretty much the majority of Shadow759's Street Fighter parody videos, mostly ones that feature Bison with a high pitch voice. Not sure if he ever plans to reupload those videos since he has been reuploading his old videos recently but we'll see.
The other day, "the Hub" founder's house burned down in Montreal and two unknown people were seen walking out of the house, so the story is still ongoing. As well, if you ever cover internet lost media again, covering the two periods of major twitch VOD purges would be interesting, summoning salt has briefly covered it in his videos but more as footnotes in order to explain why some world record speedruns were lost. It is a lot more major than that. Lots of people upload their streams to RUclips but, for example I watch a streamer that has streamed 2700+ days in a row, and a few years ago had stopped uploading their vods to RUclips because of a lack of extra time besides the time to stream for 3-4 hours at night. A lot of his vods have been archived by people in his discord, but cannot be uploaded to any video sharing site for fear of copyright claims due to DMCA fears, but his first stream in his streak is definitely lost along with a couple of others.
Here is one for you Lost Charmx videos He deleted all of his videos in march of 2021 and most of them have yet to be recovered Or the lost Cute Mario Bros videos
Honestly i have taken to arciving alot of what i watch on youtube, sometimes entire channels worth of content, as well as tiktok videos. I date every file by its upload date to keep a chronological sort of the videos. I missed my true calling of being an arcivalist
there's a lot of lost content on the old warrior cats forums from the late 2000s-early 2010s that was never backed up. i wrote a harry potter / warrior cats crossover that was published there and, to my knowledge, never backed up... i miss it :-(
Lawwwwwwwddd. I forgot ALLLLLL about that site. The books where realy popular back then before they essentially reset the whole series in a way with they Jayfeather saga. I haven't read much from it since 2015 or so.
@@piepivotmonitor5986 ot of people discussing the books. Speculation on where the series was going. People making thier own Fanfics. Its been several years since I involved myself with the book series at all.
I keep seeing parallels between internet lost media and film lost media history. It looks like we won’t be taking internet preservation seriously for while boys
I also found out that alot of fetish videos on "the hub" were also deleted and even though there are still some videos still up I still feel bad for the people who made those lost videos and channels their work just disappeared.
One of my old favorite channels, alltime conspiracies, changed their name to “uncovered”, and then later privated all of their videos a while ago. The hosts made a second channel, but they don’t own any of the old videos, so they aren’t allowed to reupload them.
Speaking of Fanfiction, the number of small and medium fanfiction pages that have dissapeared is staggering. From fanfic sites dedicated to one series or one genre only, to fanfic sites in other languages, the number of these is gigantic. I know from personal experience as I began writing fanfiction in Spanish, my mother tongue, in 2001, and fanfiction.net was not on my radar, if it even existed back then, so I sent my work to sites that housed fanfics in Spanish. I always kept more than one copy of that work (even today, lol), but I know of many writers who didn't, and that's lost media of the most endangered type, in other languages and from small sites.
Yeah, there's a lot of those going missing. Ao3 is trying to be inclusive when it comes to languages but it doesn't always work. Wattpad is known for being full of Spanish speakers. But there's no fanfic sites for specific languages. That's kinda bad.
I also heard that "The Hub" also had to remove a bunch of videos because banks were bullying them because they didn't like some of the content as well, not just what was mentioned here.

I'm still sad about his passing, it still hurts years later. :(
The mental health system completely failed him, it was absolutely awful to watch. It still makes me angry to think about it.
I haven't really watch too much of Erika's videos, but his death hit me hard and still makes me really sad.
When the news first broke out about his death, I could not stop thinking about him for weeks, and just seeing the thumbnail made me sad.
I can't imagine how hard it is for his biggest fans.
His reactions were so funny and enteraining to watch, and it makes me sad at what he had to go through.
I mostly went "oh boy" since I expected this exact reaction somewhere
@@CommanderWiggins the way the police treated him seemed bad too
All things lost you know what I find really interesting is that the NSA seeing as they have made backups of every single upload since the internet was born somewhere in an NSA storage facility all these pieces of lost media are just sitting around collecting dust. I wonder if a NSA employee would ever consider doing an Edward Snowden level leak or mass upload of all these pieces of lost media; Just food for thought.
I never considered that the NSA might have backups of lost media. I love the idea that the government might be sitting on the only surviving copy of Mario 64 Big Star Secret.
Please keep doing videos cause this content is amazing! The internet coming together to solve the internets problems
I'd love to see a part 3 just as much as I love this guy's videos.
SomeCallMeJohnny is a RUclipsr, dating back to 2008, who's been making content since the channel's creation. He's garnered most of his popularity from his Sonic videos, which started with the first "Month of Sonic" where he reviewed the 3D Sonic games in preperation for Sonic Unleashed, though unfortunately only his Sonic 06 review, as well as part of his Shadow the Hedgehog video, albeit sped up and without audio. The rest have been lost since he deleted those old videos, itd be great to have someone cover his lost media to get some attention on them, since as a newer fan I didnt get a chance to watch the older videos.
Itd be great if you could include it in a potential part 3!
"Internet MEdia 2 draft" will be lost internet media after the title gets changed
Cool video! The first part is one of my favorites you’ve made, I suggested Nickelodeon lost media on Twitter and I wanted to give some suggestions if you ever plan on making the video. Spongebob rehydrated lost audio, Ned’s declassified lost pilot, that one episode of double dare where a kid broke a bone, all that, and the Nickelodeon level creator game, I’d really love if a lost Nickelodeon media video was made but you can do what you want to do!
So that’s what happened to one of my favorite fanfics
Yeah, a lot of fandoms lose good or well known fanfiction often. It's kind of sad for those wanting to go back and get some nostalgia out of it.
What was it?
great vid, cant wait for the next. your on the level of oddheader/blameitonjorge
All those lost Two Best Friends videos..
But we have a massive legend who uploaded them so there's that at least!
One piece of lost internet media that I really wish I could find is this video of The History of Japan by Bill Wurtz but the uploader added other Bill Wurtz shorts into it. I really liked that video and it sucks that I haven't been able to find it and I don't even remember who uploaded it either.
I'm glad you brought up FFN's purge, but it should be noted that it wasn't just NC-17 fics that they purged! They removed script fics, song fics, and the ENTIRE MST3K SECTION. They were also known to allow people to "revenge-report" fics--essentially reporting a fic that didn't actually violate any rules to get it removed. A few of my old fics got taken down that way, though luckily they weren't particularly great, so not much was lost in that case. Can't say the same for the removal of the entire MST3K section.
please cover geocities! so many personal websites gone forever from the early internet 😲
I really liked that you were not judgmental about the fanfiction
Yeah, I'm glad he covered it with little to no opinions. I will admit I wasn't expecting him to talk about Fanfiction.net tho..
Johnny sins saying "oh hi there" to me on the toilet made me drop anything that was in my system.
Lol
A Guru Larry fan ay? A man of culture you are
RIP my boy etika
I hate when people say if you upload something to the internet it will be there for ever
Lmao the Room footage when talking about PH 😂
There’s a lot of music that was put on RUclips that’s also lost as a result of either channels being deleted by RUclips or the person who used to run it, & channels removing videos
Update on the Jawed situation, in 2022, someone uploaded a bunch of the lost videos to the lost media subreddit
I'd love it if you could talk about all the android android and ios games that were online only and have been deactivated.
I need to go to my moms house one of these days and look at all the vhs shows she taped for me as a kid. I would love to discover some kind of lost media!
If you ever did a third video on this I’d add a section covering anything4views’ twitch highlights channel, the old gaming videos and Kickstarter crap videos from iDubbbz, the lost MaxMoeFoe videos and the lost filthy Frank pinky guy songs.
F for all the good wholesome videos lost on the hub.
F
@ *cooming* *blood*
They took all the meme videos 😩 the only thing good on the site
I'm glad you brought up the adult content.
Many sites are now purging these photos and videos. My Wife and I were unverified on Hub, and had all our content deleted. Lucky for me, I always keep backups of all content. Good Thing we still have xhamster !
You should cover Shroom Tube next. He was a lost media RUclipsr from the mid 2010s, and then he just vanished and never came back. Some archives of his videos have been created but most are lost.
Them being?
Lord ain't that ironic? He was the guy that introduced me to lost media all that time ago, I remember watching his video a lot back in the day as well as when he stopped doing them. Sad but sorta fitting in a way, a man who talked about lost media becoming lost media.
Ideas:
Top 10 Lost Medias that turned out to be fake
Top 10 Biggest Lost Media Searches
I covered 5 of the biggest lost media searches in a previous video: ruclips.net/video/cQuu5POHbSU/видео.html
I like the idea of covered fake lost media, thanks for the suggestions.
I love the clips you chose for the "the hub" segment. I'll never not laugh at Seth Rogen's parody of Kanye West's bound video.
Bro really named his video after the project title 😭😭😭

Holy crap, I remember Big Star Secret.
I don't have it unfortunately, but I do distinctly remember the last few seconds was Mario going up to the center of the wall in the Courtyard, he stands there idly for a few seconds, then the jumpscare occurs.
I don't remember the song, but I at least remember it was a rock song in the background and no ingame sound effects.
As soon as I heard "it was a screamer!" I just NOPE'd on right out of the video I am still not at all over the countless screamers I encountered as a baby boy on the RUclipss.
Nah no jumpscare
I am the exact same and just skipped thst part even though i really doubted one eould be shown
Not sure how to not awkwardly comment a suggestion but a suggestion nonetheless: the original build or any builds from the release year (2006) of the now massive online game platform Roblox are completely lost, with even screenshots being scarce and ESPECIALLY videos (only 4 have been discovered, with 2 coming from the developers and the other 2 being reuploaded), and I would love for it to be covered it another video of this series as when more people find out, it becomes more likely for someone to come forward with it.
I think a list of completely lost media would be cool
There are a lot of lost ytps out there like sweaty and pbg eats 64 soups and the lost 112dirtbag videos
I know it doesn’t get said much but, this is a damn good thumbnail.
You got 660 likes without a single dislike! Great job! Also love the video!
New lost media video! Oh, good day!
I can think of Mr. Creepypasta's narrations of creepypasta stories written by author "Slimebeast".
His videos of "abandoned by disney", "Room Zero" and "I hate you" were my favorite from that channel, and they were all taken down :(
Wait, those got taken down? I hate you and abandoned by Disney were my favorite :/
Never though that *The Hub* would count as lost media!
Everything counts as lost media.
Funny thing about the Hub having a lot of its content deleted. I remember one person saying they watched SpongeBob there.
I even say bit of Avengers Endgame on there while the movie was still in theaters
Yeah i also saw the phineas and ferb movie, more episodes of spongebob and jimmy neutron
Probably because media companies didn't think that people would be uploading normal movies there and didn't bother to check.
I remember someone leaked gameplay of Fallout 4, just before it's big reveal.
ScrewAttack has a huge amount of lost videos, many lost during a merger into its current Death Battle branding, and most videos made before 2010 are difficult to find or lost entirely.
I was seriously jumpscared by the mention of Biffa's lost Minecraft episodes, and double jumpscared by GenerikB's IRL face XD
RE: the hub. The SFW section of that website used to be a goldmine for hilarious short content and even unofficially uploaded (said in this way to avoid removal myself) movies and episodes of TV shows, none of which had anything to do with the intended nature of the website. I even watched an entire j-pop concert on there in full HD once. If you could tolerate the advertisements (or use a good ad blocker) it was a fun and strange place for reasons completely unintended.
I have screenshots of someone that uploaded several railroad videos to the site. All from California. All had the hashtag train porn. They started popping up in meme groups on FB just before the purge.
I Watched the whole Edd, Ed and Eddy's Big Picture Show on there once.
Etika still doesn't feel real, man. I miss him so much. Rest in peace big man, JOYCON BOYZ FOREVER.
I lost some of my favorite videos during the hub purge, mostly from a niche fetish I am interested in that was almost entirely wiped out. None of it was criminal that I know of, but its gone
I remember the Fanfiction Purge - a lot of these fanfics weren't "novels" but rather outright plagiarism. The section "Cartoon X-overs" was full of them, they just copypasted the scripts from known series in the internet and replaced names with other characters. It was an extremely lazy thing (not to mention illegal) and honestly it was about time fanfiction dot net took some action against it.
Also if someone did write a novel length story, they should have backed it up in other places, word documents are small and I back up my important ones.
Not all fics that were deleted were plagiarism though. They also took down a lot of script fics and the entire MST3K section--which, yeah, some people were writing MSTs (which are horrible), but there were also just... legit MST3K fics there. I never read many of them, but I had friends who did, and they were devastated when FFN deleted them without warning.
Another thing you could talk about are lost RUclips comments. Comments on vgm uploads like Brawl are gone now thanks to copyright takedowns, and there were some very well thought out comments that are now lost forever.
Nice video as always dude. There are a couple of videos that I remembered seeing from very early RUclips that I think are considered lost since I can't really find them anymore, or maybe I am searching up the wrong words but there is these certain videos I've been trying to find for years and that is Roushutsu's Sonic cartoons retrospective. It is a multipart Sonic retrospective that talks about the history of Sonic in animation, mostly his many animated series. This was made way before Sonic Boom was a thing so this was a pretty old video series and I can't find it anywhere here in RUclips. My guess is to why these videos are lost is because they were in her old deleted channel, which, long story short, she was a commentary (it was actually the very first commentary channel I have ever discovered. They were very different from what we got nowadays), Which the majority of those videos are also lost though there are some that have been archived, Those after that channel was terminated, she made a second channel, Roushutsurises, which is still up however, all of the videos of that channel except for her Four Sword Adventure manga retrospective video series has been deleted. Not sure if the Sonic Animation retrospective and the other videos will ever resurface but I been wondering that for years. Another piece of lost Internet media is pretty much the majority of Shadow759's Street Fighter parody videos, mostly ones that feature Bison with a high pitch voice. Not sure if he ever plans to reupload those videos since he has been reuploading his old videos recently but we'll see.
This is my favorite video “internet MEdia 2 draft” so good
The other day, "the Hub" founder's house burned down in Montreal and two unknown people were seen walking out of the house, so the story is still ongoing. As well, if you ever cover internet lost media again, covering the two periods of major twitch VOD purges would be interesting, summoning salt has briefly covered it in his videos but more as footnotes in order to explain why some world record speedruns were lost. It is a lot more major than that. Lots of people upload their streams to RUclips but, for example I watch a streamer that has streamed 2700+ days in a row, and a few years ago had stopped uploading their vods to RUclips because of a lack of extra time besides the time to stream for 3-4 hours at night. A lot of his vods have been archived by people in his discord, but cannot be uploaded to any video sharing site for fear of copyright claims due to DMCA fears, but his first stream in his streak is definitely lost along with a couple of others.
Here is one for you
Lost Charmx videos
He deleted all of his videos in march of 2021 and most of them have yet to be recovered
Or the lost Cute Mario Bros videos
hope this becomes a standing series, great stuff!
PH losing all those videos is equivalent od losing the library of alexandria
you should have covered the Michael Reeves Baby Killing Drone video. If you make a lost youtube videos video, put that one in there.
The lost videos I miss the most are all the old Political Juice videos.
when discussing the “hub” i liked how you used different kinds of clips instead of just straight ones... representation matters even in weird forms
Honestly i have taken to arciving alot of what i watch on youtube, sometimes entire channels worth of content, as well as tiktok videos. I date every file by its upload date to keep a chronological sort of the videos.
I missed my true calling of being an arcivalist
there's a lot of lost content on the old warrior cats forums from the late 2000s-early 2010s that was never backed up. i wrote a harry potter / warrior cats crossover that was published there and, to my knowledge, never backed up... i miss it :-(
Please describe your crossover and anything else from the site that you remember.
Lawwwwwwwddd. I forgot ALLLLLL about that site. The books where realy popular back then before they essentially reset the whole series in a way with they Jayfeather saga. I haven't read much from it since 2015 or so.
@@trainfan4449 What do you remember?
@@piepivotmonitor5986 ot of people discussing the books. Speculation on where the series was going. People making thier own Fanfics.
Its been several years since I involved myself with the book series at all.
I keep seeing parallels between internet lost media and film lost media history.
It looks like we won’t be taking internet preservation seriously for while boys
The Big Star Secret had such a good late 2000s cozy aesthetic to it, probably why it’s wanted so much.
I also found out that alot of fetish videos on "the hub" were also deleted and even though there are still some videos still up I still feel bad for the people who made those lost videos and channels their work just disappeared.
One of my old favorite channels, alltime conspiracies, changed their name to “uncovered”, and then later privated all of their videos a while ago. The hosts made a second channel, but they don’t own any of the old videos, so they aren’t allowed to reupload them.
Speaking of Fanfiction, the number of small and medium fanfiction pages that have dissapeared is staggering.
From fanfic sites dedicated to one series or one genre only, to fanfic sites in other languages, the number of these is gigantic.
I know from personal experience as I began writing fanfiction in Spanish, my mother tongue, in 2001, and fanfiction.net was not on my radar, if it even existed back then, so I sent my work to sites that housed fanfics in Spanish.
I always kept more than one copy of that work (even today, lol), but I know of many writers who didn't, and that's lost media of the most endangered type, in other languages and from small sites.
Yeah, there's a lot of those going missing. Ao3 is trying to be inclusive when it comes to languages but it doesn't always work. Wattpad is known for being full of Spanish speakers. But there's no fanfic sites for specific languages. That's kinda bad.
Dude your content is great keep it up
I also heard that "The Hub" also had to remove a bunch of videos because banks were bullying them because they didn't like some of the content as well, not just what was mentioned here.
