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.

One of their presenters was extremely funny and the reviews were not "standard". Often they got called the "top gear of cameras".

Their videos lost would be a catastrophe. I rewatch some of their challenges just for fun. Or the old Pro Photographer cheap Camera series. Thats legendary.

Damn. Why did I never bother to download them.

I mean they still do their own thing on their own channels right now and upload frequently.

I agree about the Top Gear comparison. They were definitely entertaining.

I agree about their own channels. But this is r/datahoarder and not r/datalossmoveon.

Also the old stuff with the three together was much more entertaining.
