Best websites to use for finding lost media

It dosen't have any of Brandon Rogers videos though, plus many people have said that the wayback machine is garbage for finding old YouTube videos ,along with other things in my experience. Charlie/ MoistCritical/ Penguinz0 himself used it himself to try and find any of his old video and wasn't able to find any of them.

Here's my proof right here.

Vimeo, if you're looking for animated lost media.

In my experience look at movie, TV and cartoon streaming sites. You won't find them the normal way because search engines tend to block them as much as torrent sites but if you know basic search terms they will pop up on the search engines. One example I use for cartoons is kisscartoon. I find a lot of saved cartoons that way. Then I search torrents if those sites don't have anything. Next I fire up soulseek which is a program similar to kazaa or limewire from back in the day for sharing media stuff. It's good for finding rare stuff that a lot of people have saved on there hard drives. Then after that I go to archive.org, Vimeo, DailyMotion and other such sites other then YouTube. If it can't be found there I do a a last ditch effort to search for threads or websites that mention a link to a cloud storage service that is hosting the lost media weather it be Google Drive, Drop Box or Mega.nz etc.

Another search engine one (I have a full list of them, but I feel its notable enough on it's own) is using a sear-x instance. It's a search engine that combs through almost every search engine (most notably skips over yandex due to it's awful captcha). Since it combs through basically everything, it makes searches much easier, then you can downscale the rest afterwards based on what you want to do.
