vailskibum94 is a monumental Youtuber who's channel primarily focuses on Western Animation (including lost western animation ,which is definitely what our wiki has been most interested in since the beginning.) He has done videos on Lost Media (as stated earlier), but he has made a specific fatal flaw in his LM videos- he fails to cite his main source. Sure, he's given exposure to the niche general topic as well as some... controversial related figures, but he's never actually credited what has to be the main source- this website. The LMW Community has such a vast collection of information that he had to at least get some help in research from the wiki itself and the forums (which as noted above he is a member of.) However, go to any of his Lost Media videos, and you will not find a trace of our website. As an example, the link above contains a Lost Media video by him which, again, doesn't cite the wiki once. If he did give credit to us, we could get the traffic we need to become a relevant community, and even get more donors which are badly needed by dycaite to keep the site running. If this post seemed like a direct, fierce attack on Vail, just know that I didn't put all this distress into a damaging hashtag or raid on his social media platforms. This is simply something that Vail should have been doing this whole time, even though he seems ignorant to giving us the credit that we deserve.
