I'm just gonna say it again. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who is putting the work into digitizing videotapes and is only uploading to YouTube, to SERIOUSLY reconsider it and dual upload to the Internet Archive as well.

Matt Berry yelling "LOOK OUT HE'S GOT A GUN" in the background mix is a line I hear in my head every time someone pulls out a gun.

News report of Aerosmith releasing the first digital only single. Downloading the 4.3MB WAV would take around an hour.
Is there a future in this, and more importantly, is there any money in it?

Just remembered I have a recording of The Karate Kid from the *DAY* that the Grim Reaper AIDS CSA debuted. According to some research I did, it lasted about a week before it was pulled.

YouTube is probably *the* single worst way to "preserve" something online. At any time without warning a video can disappear.

Actually you know what? I said dual upload? Just fucking stop uploading to YouTube. YouTube isn't for old TV content. Full stop.

I've got what, 7 thousand videos up on Archive? I've had one, ONE, taken down. It was a Callanetics video (Turns out Callan Pinckney still sells DVDs). And I'll gladly cop that over the PAGES of stuff that was copyright claimed on YT.

I'm sick of seeing people on YouTube have to edit stuff to get it on YouTube. What is this preserving? And I keep begging, BEGGING, these people to upload to an alternative source.
Someone had to edit a 50 minute video to eight minutes to make it "YT safe". What's the point?

Of course, the phrasing of "At First, only gays and IV Drug Users we're being killed by AIDS" means "Thus we didn't care, but now it's affecting the straight people and children"
Here's my Betamax HiFi copy (so that scary soundscape really haunts you) from 08/04/87.

Your body has a way of telling you when you need water. It's called "getting thirsty". As long as you aren't thirsty you are properly hydrated.
