We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

A decade old camera review channel on YouTube, DigitalRev, has removed hundreds of old videos from their channel. Only about 9 remain.

While I’m not a big camera guy, and wasn’t aware of this channel beforehand, I heard about this on Linus Tech Tips’ WAN Show - apparently the page was a trusted resource for a lot of people.

The good news is, it does appear to be mostly(?) archived via archive.org. Not sure why it was pulled from YouTube, so there is a risk it could be pulled from Archive as well - if anyone wants to backup, now might be a good time.

I mean they did mostly reviews from what I remember. Most of the tech was outdated by today's standards. Plus once the main two people left around 5-6 years ago the show went into tailspin.
