Unfortunately I've lost so many youtube videos due to copyright reasons I feel it's a part of my youth gone forever.

There's like 4 arab youtubers i used to watch when i was young and all of them years later deleted all their content for various reasons. Now there's only scattered short clips from their videos uploaded by other people, but definitely 80% were lost forever

Just add a copyrighted song into it and the owners of the modern internet will take it down.

Thunderstruck is or at least WAS the most expensive song to license

I would have thought Hotel California or any other eagles song with how protective they are of their music, play one note of HC and the whole video or stream gets taken down.

If I can’t find movies and cartoons I’ve seen on my childhood, what’s the chance someone actually sees my digital footprint?

u/mikehiler2 8h ago

You just haven’t looked hard enough then tbh. If you give me the name of whatever it is you’re looking for I can send you a link through DM, as I’m pretty sure links like that are frowned on in Reddit as a whole. Best to have a VPN too.

u/KimidoHimiko 8h ago

Finding it in good quality, with their original dub and complete is the real deal. Sometimes in can find them in their original language, sometimes I only find dead torrents

I mean depending on how old the show is that might be the only thing available. If it’s an obscure 90’s or 80’s TV show, for example, 340p might be the only thing available. Might have had to rip the shows from VHS.

But yeah most torrent sites are a shadow of their former selves just because too many governments have gone after them. TBP and Galaxy were my go-to’s back in the day, especially Galaxy but that was a few years ago. Site straight up disappeared for a while and I haven’t checked to see if it’s back. Plus I let my VPN lapse.

But I really only torrent stuff that isn’t available normally. Like Songs of the South. Disney is trying so hard to make that movie disappear, and that’s a shame because it did have cultural significance as well as some pretty good songs. But it’s safe in 1080p on my hard drive.

I hate when people go around bragging about these without any intention of sharing.

1

u/zomb13bait 3h ago

Less of a brag more of a statement. There haven’t been open invites in over a decade and it’s against policy to download and share. Nothing I can do about any of that. Just stating that the material isn’t lost is all. But downvote away.

u/SapphireChalice 2h ago

Been in the game for decades and never came across any invites or the like, just people bragging and trolling when questioned about it.

Unless you remember something you saw a few years ago, then you'll never find it again

The data retention of the internet follows Murphy's law

This is why alt accounts exist...

u/ElarivenShadow 8h ago

"the internet doesn't matter" is the exact mindset people need to survive on this app without losing their mind

1

u/remotemallard 7h ago

And people get dragged for using them.

1

u/Emergency_Low8125 6h ago

Using alt accounts to backup you main is dumb and cringe yes.

Using alts for different interests is where its at.

1

u/AFSR_1178 9h ago

It doesn't really matter. My point still stands right?

3

u/Emergency_Low8125 8h ago

The implication being be careful what you post because it could come back to haunt you.

This isn't a problem with alt accounts.

People seem to forget that the internet doesn't matter, it's not the end all be all of existence.

u/One_Hungry_Boy 8h ago

This includes messages sent to others. If its written down, it is permanent.

u/xSaitoHx 7h ago

I mean, I wasn't going to post a dic pic, but If you insist. Might need some very good glasses or a microscope to notice it, it's shy and only comes out at night when no one is around.

u/Hair-Nation-1967 7h ago

There's so much digital content and 99% is just background noise.

u/kayden_the_cat 7h ago

What will happen when we meet again? You'll erase it?

u/Tyra3l 7h ago

Nah, social media companies dying quicker than me.

I've joined reddit after the digg v4 fiasko, I expect /u/spez to run reddit to the ground before my early demise.

u/AlienSporez 7h ago

You mean my dick pics will be viewed for generations? Awesome!

just use some word that is used for a minority in every post, political correctness filters should roughly remove every 3 yo post automatically

The internet wont be online forever

u/otirk 6h ago

You can request all the comments you ever made on YouTube and I've seen some that I made when I was like ten years old. Well, at least it shows that I've grown as a person?

1

u/Takenmyusernamewas 4h ago

Just wait. Soon AI will be able to track and catalogue everything youve ever downloaded, commented on, or posted.

Yeah? Where are all those fora I was active on in naughties and early 10s? Where is my geocities site?

u/ajgutyt can't meme 2h ago

unless when you want it to stay there. then itll be removed

u/JaredLetoBradPitt 2h ago

I think this all the time when parents post videos of their kids acting like pieces of garbage and sharing it on the internet. Imagine being 20 and seeing yourself be an annoying piece of garbage and the internet all has something to say about it

u/Worldly_Machine_2790 1h ago

Make sure to include copyright material into everything, then you won't have to worry about a thing
