OKAY, so... tried to fix the archive at internet archive only to wind up breaking it even more... >_> Need to, figure out something else, but later, because this is eluding me and the more I get frustrated, the less, effective at problem solving I am. Needless to say though, it is way too many files to go individually (and the .7z is like, 52GB so like, that's probably why it corrupted & then has kept erroring out trying to upload... i just... augh this is frustrating)
My apologies for, the whole debacle. I do wish to make my archives available, that hasn't changed. Hopefully uhh, patience.. yeah.

Over the past, somehow many years now, people have asked about access to old videos. But, I'd been stubborn. Some of it was, as past me disclosed long ago, the deep personal shame of the edgy-to-fit-in, late-2000s humor material. Not wanting to hurt people, not wanting that to be what was seen of me.
But also, I've never considered myself someone of note. I felt like, in the grand scheme of media worth preserving, mine was not. I felt like, YTP history would be the same even if I never got into it. I felt like I was THAT unimportant to the medium & its scene. I've long struggled with self-doubt, which can, really REALLY skew reality. It was clear from the requests, people did want my material to be, not lost media. People did want... because my works were meaningful to them. But I didn't want to believe it, for so many years.
Some days ago, I found out someone back in 2024, uploaded a partial collection of my videos to Internet Archive. Whatever they thought to save or scrounge up. I feel like, it's the wake-up call. I made an Internet Archive account, to finally do this. I have my own Archive since I tend to not delete stuff, so, it's long overdue I provided my archives. Warts and all. (Especially warts like, holy shit. There is stuff, just from memory, I'm horrified I even did)
This is the link, if YouTube will let me post it:

YouTube Poop is... it's an artform I love dearly, and have held onto for years. But when I remember the community, the circles I used to (think) I was a part of... I'm just overcome with loneliness and sadness.
I love to see others' takes on the art, even though I know it's, never gonna be, that I'm gonna count as, part of a community, to any of them. I watch knowing I'll only ever be a single tick of the viewer count, and not an actual peer.
I do have friends, but like, basically only 1 is also a YTP artist, and we rarely talk anymore. And so when I'm in my headspace as a YTP artist, it's... joy when I'm creating, but sorrow when I realize how lonely I am, in the hobby.
I'm still trying, but sometimes I guess, lonely mornings like today... the failures of my trying get to me.

Ah yes, so YouTube did the thing again where it treats Unprivated videos as new uploads. Even that part's nostalgic lol. (And then it's only treating SOME of them as new while the others are still in their proper order in my video list. Nice functional website you got there, YouTube)
But yes, you've probably been noticing I've been restoring old Tennis matches to the best I can (i.e. stuff I can, which luckily seems to be most of it, given the more erosion-based nature of Tennis means, less copyright-claimed overall.) and without cuts too, since, Tennis, being collaborative as it is, felt it less appropriate to make re-cuts to meet my current stance on certain jokes/level of care I wish to have to my audiences.
[on that note, be advised uhh, most of them probably have heavy flashing, and of course, no subtitles. (another modern Channel standard for me.) ]

Sometimes it just hits you, how you used to belong, really be a part of something vibrant. And then you don't even know when exactly, but at some point you instead became the weird cryptid witch in the woods.

As should be obvious by the fact that I just take stuff and remix it, I am not the owner of the sources that go into my videos, but I make them anyway under the conviction that they are (or if not, they really ought to be) Fair Use.
This is my space to just, be silly in video form, primarily through the art of YouTube Poop. I know I don't do so as often as I used to, but I know I'll always have a place for it.
