First we had the Great Hub Purge of 2020, then we had all the Adobe Flash content go up in smoke, and now pretty much everything on Imgur is gonna disappear.

As I always preach: Save EVERYTHING you like on the internet! Because one day it may not be there

But your favorite videos will. I'm missing a bunch of amateur vids from that site and I still haven't found them again.

Someone didnt learn the most fundamental lesson of the internet. The internet is for porn. Whenever there is internet, there is porn. That is truth.

Whenever I see a YouTube video I like from small channel I worry this will happen.

Some really obscure YouTube channel uploaded a cover of my favorite anime opening in the Pokemon XY soundfont. I downloaded it and eventually I discovered that video was removed. The relief knowing that I downloaded it was amazing.

Y'all are missing the point. Of course porn will always exist on the internet. But that perfect 320p homemade sony Ericsson video with that one girl that did that thing that got you there involving that really specific fetish?

Gone in the great Hub Hooplah. You'll always remember it every few months or years when you're beating it to the 34th tab on your screen, but you'll never recreate those good times.

I've legit downloaded videos from small channels because I don't want to lose them. Thankfully I dont think any of them have actually been taken down though.

There are a few things I'm glad I saved or at least made some gifs of before it disappeared

There was this one guy on instagram who was crazy hot and his account vanished around the same time the hub purged their content

Thankfully, I had already saved a ton of his stuff, and am grateful nearly every day for it...

There was also a user on CE who would frequently post hot pics of himself, most of which I saved

Man, I still think about him. He closed his accounts a few years back too. I hope he's doing well...

Friendly reminder that the Machinima youtube channel went dark years ago. All those videos are still there but they're fucking privated. Heartbreaking.

Or they were last I checked, maybe they finally actually deleted them

The problem is I've started saving semi-mediocre videos just because when the option to watch them again is taken out of my hands, all of a sudden I want them. Out of fear of them being removed and taken down, which they have.

God, I lost access to so much amazing content in the last few years. I'll go to open a bookmark and... nothing. Content has been removed for [Reason]. Some of it I've managed to find hosted on other sites, some of it I actually saved, but a lot of it is gone forever. Not even porn stuff. For example, for a LONG time the Knife Game Song was gone from youtube. Rusty Cage eventually got his channel back up but it was a near thing. Literally a decade of content wiped out for years and then luckily later restored.

thats not an absolute truth, more like a rule to adhere to. you don't upload nudes of yourself to facebook because everyone will see if and you can't take that back. but you can't guarantee that nobody saved it before you deleted it from facebook

If you can get the youtube links for those vids you can google them. There's a good chance you can find them, but every day google/the internet gets worse and more useless.

I've never been to the Singapore park. I had favorited the video back then because the transformers ride was still under construction for my local universal.
