@Y2K_mindset@JPlatzHalter@_SatanWatch All have other collaborators but some of the big ones were World Trade Center, most of the Hackers ones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fecal Transplant, others I'd have to track down.
The one I'm most proud of is The Case of the Hanover High Shocker.
So, The Internet Archive had someone upload a few hundred hours of MTV recordings. VJs, Commercials, and of course Music Videos, from the 1980s. Today, it was asked to be taken down by someone who could ask for that and it's down.
Livestreaming at https://t.co/aNaLb2KEjG - I don't post much on twitter anymore, so that's a good reason to subscribe to the twitch stream (or follow me on Bluesky)
@alreadybaned There are more repositories within the archive and obviously I'm not counting the Wayback machine. But still, yeah, 5 petabytes is no joke.
I'll take a shot at this.
The Internet Archive is maintaining an archive of roughly 5 petabytes of what are called "Social Media Video" - twitch streams, capcut templates, tiktok, coub, youtube, and more. And that number is growing by the thousands every week.
Five days of seeking a response from the @internetarchive or @brewster_kahle.
I'm sure there were multiple points in time when people didn't care - treated with silence, or couldn't conceive of the importance of these works. This is why we have so much lost film, lost media.
But this is still happening today. All it takes is a wrongful ban, a suspension spurred by AI moderation, or a large company deciding that the libraries they let their users build up for years and decades is too expensive (or not profitable enough for their bottom line) to maintain.
The most prominent example is at this link:

I'm not looking for every video every created online to be saved. I want - at minimum, a thoughtful response, some show of support from the people who have made such headway into making sure important works don't disappear. But if someone dared to make innovation and serious effort possible - I will be here for that too.
Best regards.
But in the aggregate, the Archive has been archiving live music, video, and other works by creators for over 25 years, and is doing so constantly, and the statement of the fact they're doing this was (is) the place itself.
Some people have attempted to mirror/archive specific accounts and specific groups, to keep a more robust and deep set for those groups/accounts. The groups/accounts sometimes decline that favor, and ask material to not be available.
@grok Redraw me in the way I truly am as the Internet percieves me, render me as the being that I truly am based on the observations and writings about me. Hold nothing back.
@FakeDaveGreen@internetarchive That said, feel free to upload a different item indicating you are uploading a "fixed" copy of the item, linking back to the original, and leaving a review on the item saying you have an improved version elsewhere.
@FakeDaveGreen@internetarchive No, you can't, for the same reason someone can't download a pamphlet for healthcare, "fix" it to be more in line with the bible, and upload it back.
