Literally any radio show before 1937 or so. Before then, there wasn't even a good way to archive the stuff. Most broadcasts still weren't archived until the late 40s.

pre-2000s films from Greenland or Faroe Islands... as in, almost no one outside of those small Denmark-owned territories actually knows about them & thus are very unlikely to ever show up in any capacity, let alone on this side of the internet. Very small populations too. Both only have 50,000 people each.
I hate to say this but is has to be big star secret. After not hearing from that dude that had 500 TB's of old youtube videos and Lotus, YT and IA confirming they dont have it, the radar has lowered for me.

my apologies if something like this thread has already been made... but besides the obvious (i.e videos/audio of people dying, things that have been confirmed to be destroyed) are there any lost media things that are pretty much destined to never be found?
i can't really think of any off the top of my head, except the "nico nico nana fushigi", or "seven mysteries of nico nico", which were video glitches that happened on certain uploads on niconicodouga. since nnd revamped their video player system, these glitches aren't able to be seen anymore and afaik they were never archived by anyone, because why would anybody think of archiving a video glitch?? but idk if something like that can even be considered lost media TT;
everything I ever post about because nobody ever pays any attention to the cool lost media, like, for example, the DHMIS PILOT

Its not that people arent interested, its that nobody really knows what to do anymore in this search, i cant really think of anything myself.
Basically any historical one, like the previously mentioned full version of Beowulf or Love’s Labors Won. I really doubt that anything from centuries ago is going to turn up in a warehouse or somebody’s private collection.
We probably have a better chance of finding London after midnight than these.
Might be stretching the definition of "media" a bit, but one thing that immediately comes to mind is YouTube annotations. If you think about it, they kind of were an integral part of many videos for a large part of the early years of YouTube.
One particularly notable example is Jeeper's Media, which was sort of infamous for having a million annotations on every video. I thankfully actually had somebody on the Discord server archive them for me when YouTube announced they were going to kill annotations, but that still means there are countless thousands of videos on YouTube with the annotations completely wiped. Unless somebody has access to some server somewhere at Google, what is lost now will probably be lost forever.
Well, as a fan of The Land Before Time franchise myself, I hoped for the uncut version of the first movie to be found at first, but some fans from Finland, Germany and some other countries have claimed to have seen the uncut version back then when it was aired on TV and one of those Finnish fans have claimed to own a copy of the uncut version through a recorded VHS tape from a 1998 airing, but that tape turned out to not contain the whole movie and another Finnish fan has debunked this rumor by stating that his VHS tape he has that was recorded from a 1995 airing turned out to not be the uncut version which after that, I lost my hope that the uncut version of the first LBT movie will ever be found, but thankfully, an early script from 1987 has been found and posted to the Gang of Five forum which it contained all deleted scenes in that script, so it's kind of the closest of getting the uncut version of the movie, but I still doubt that the actual uncut version of the movie will ever be found though.

I highly doubt a copy of the book Meanderings of Memory will ever be found, if any copies have even survived to the present day.
I mean how do you even properly search for that when the only evidence the book even existed is it being cited in the Oxford English Dictionary as either a first or early source for 51 words (which I guess technically makes it not entirely lost since it means 51 fragments survive due to being cited in the OED) and listings in a grand total of four catalogues (three catalogues from a bookseller known as G. Gancia - one from 1852 and two from 1854 and an 1854 Sotheby's catalogue)?
