Nuke Bizzle - EDD (music video bragging about fraud) May 29, 2024 13:02:45 GMT

Post by gordon on May 29, 2024 13:02:45 GMT

Does anyone have this music video in 720p or 1080p?

In September 2020, the rapper "Nuke Bizzle" published a music video where he bragged about committing fraud (news article). The original music video (URL with comment archive) was taken down in October 2020.

Here is an archive of his channel page from October 16, 2020 before the video was downed. It reached over 400 thousand views.

The Wayback Machine attempted to save it, failed, and then never tried again because it does not try after the first attempt. (Error: "We have not been able to archive the video associated with this YouTube page.")

The original 1080p version of this music video appears to be completely lost. All that remains is a low-quality 360p reupload with the Apple Assistive Touch icon in the upper right corner.

It appears that whoever had the 720p or 1080p version didn't bother re-uploading it because this reupload already existed, not realizing it is only in 360p.

It would be great if someone could provide the untouched music video in 720p or 1080p.

Teken - German comedian and critic (2010 - 2017) May 25, 2024 13:03:13 GMT

Post by gordon on May 25, 2024 13:03:13 GMT

Teken (Thomas Kevin) was a comedian who started with generic game review videos (2012 channel) before rising to some popularity in 2015 for his videos criticizing major personalities on the German-language YouTube, namely Dagi Bee and Bibi's Beauty Palace, which got several hundreds of thousands of views.

He referred to Dagi Bee as "internet trash" in this video (unavailable, comments from October 2016), and criticized Bibi (Bianca) for begging for donations on the streaming site "YouNow" even though she already earns well from her millions of subscribers and her "Bilou" branded shampoo (URL, unavailable).

In the next year (2016), he also had a dispute with Tim Heldt (KuchenTV), who back then had around 400K subscribers and is still active today with over a million subscribers. (Video from KuchenTV's point of view, April 2016.)

At his peak, Teken reached over 25000 subscribers. As of May 2024, after around six years of inactivity, his subscriber count declined below 18000.

Some time in 2016, he purged his early videos until 2013 (those with the orange thumbnail, before he switched to purple thumbnails, September 2015 video list).

In 2017 and 2018, he faded into irrelevance again. His final videos have usually reached between 500 and 1500 views (April 2019 video list).

Some time between April 2019 and August 2019, he tossed his entire YouTube channel down the memory hole.

The Wayback Machine doesn't have even his most popular videos, so it is highly unlikely to have any of less popular ones (not checked yet).

The spammer "derekthebigandgreat" made an irrelevant post in the "Most viewed lost videos" thread, which happened to become the first post on page 4.

A user who saw this apparently assumed that "derekthebigandgreat" created the thread because it was the first post on the page, failing to notice that three pages before it existed, and subsequently locked it.

Could anyone please have a look at it and possibly re-open the thread? Thank you.

I will baptize myself with white Monster Energy when this thread gets locked.

In seriousness, I think there is SOME value in archiving this sort of stuff. It just needs to be in the right hands. I feel this sort of content can be used for the purpose of researching and studying ways to counter dangerous ideologies. Can't fight the enemy without knowing it, right? Also I will genuinely do that Monster Energy shit if this gets locked, which I bet WILL happen.

Or alternatively we can just keep away from his Russia/Ukraine-related stuff and focus on the other content (e.g. filmmaking, life stories, the stuff he purged in November 2021).

I going to break this brief argument just to say that the Most Viewed Videos thread got locked due to the spam beast known as derekthebigandgreat once again spam a Goanimator channel that got deleted and I said it's more of a least viewed video, which killed the thread. Sorry about that gordon , but it's too much to handle a spam account.

Thanks for acknowledging the mistake. Now, how do we get it unlocked? For now, I have messaged co, who locked it.

If it isn't , I think it's a little too sensitive of a topic for these forums. I don't want this place to become the hot spot for preserving the ramblings of violent militants.

We do not necessarily endorse the content we preserve. We do it to document the history. While his points of view were controversial, he certainly wasn't violent as far as I am aware.

Politics are controversial by nature. That's the whole point of it. People disagree in perpetuity. There will never be "one size fits all" solutions. But I am not interested in his political videos.

His war reporting is boring anyway compared to his non-political content until 2021 (life advice, dating, partnerships).

I don't think so. His videos are usually not even NSFW, let alone NSFL. Pretty much all of his videos contain him speaking infront of a camera and jump cuts.

Have you watched any of his videos? Can you name at least one example?

I'm referring to the content contained within, I think extremist ideology would very much count as being NSFL.

It's not graphic content. Something that would surely qualify as NSFL is Logan Paul's forest video, but some guy rambling infront of the camera? Nah…

Where he discusses sexual topics, it would at the very most reach NSFW, but not NSFL by far.

Gonzalo Lira was a controversial online content creator whose videos were originally largely themed around women, the manosphere, and personal development (2017-2021). In 2022, he switched to war reporting. Lots of his original audience left then because they were not interested. He died early this year (more on that later).

His videos are interesting and should be preserved because he was so controversial, and those videos, whether agreeable or not, provide precious insights into the mind of someone like him.

On November 15, 2021, he abruptly deleted everything from his "Coach Red Pill" and "Gonzalo Lira" channels (Patreon announcement, unlisted YouTube announcement, total view counter still at 50 million on the next day before refreshed). Just one video, the last one, was left up (capture from next morning after takedown).

It is ironic how he was complaining about being censored by YouTube when he was the one to voluntarily eliminate his videos in the end. In one of his earlier videos, he also said he made his videos so his children could benefit from them, but in his announcement, he said his content was obsolete now and that online content should "float away" (I don't understand either). I am not sure what lead to the abrupt change of mind.

A month later, as usual, the "this video was removed by the uploader" error message disappeared.

There is an archive channel called "CRP Archive" that was created shortly after, but it does by far not contain all of his videos. It contains lots of videos from his "Coach Red Pill" channel but not his "Gonzalo Lira" channel.

The "MGTOW mirror project" (mgtowmirror.is) had a copy of his entire main channel in 1080p, but the site closed due to lack of funding. However, anything starting at 720p is decent, and for videos without text, even 360p does usually suffice.

Before starting creating online content, he already had a background in filmmaking (last capture of the deleted Wikipedia article on him from 2012 - article deleted in 2014 - a flaw of Wikipedia is that it preserves deletion discussions rather than article contents).

Gonzalo died early this year, apparently due to some lung disease (apparently caused by his smoking). As rational as he claimed himself to be, he ironically did not manage to defeat his tobacco addiction.

Channel index:

Coach Red Pill (created in 2017, capture from August 2021, prior to purge)
Gonzalo Lira (created in 2019 because he assumed his original channel was shadowbanned, capture from April 2021, prior to purge, sorted by popularity before YouTube removed that URL parameter)
Gonzalo Lira again (@gonzalolira0229 - likely a reference to his birth date; Created in 2013, apparently dormant for a long time. )
The Roundtable — Gonzalo Lira (created in 2022, unedited vlogs)
CRP Patreon (created October 2018, unlisted videos, URL list)

Archive channels, run by third parties:

CRP Archive (created November 2021)
CRP Patreon Archive (created January 2024)

Sample of lost videos. These videos have not been uploaded anywhere yet and were not picked up by the Wayback Machine.

Something that will probably never be recovered are many original comments under his videos. Since July 2013, the Wayback Machine has been unable to capture YouTube comments because YouTube made a change to the way comments are loaded.

Bludix - German comedy and parody channel, 150000 subscribers (2013 - 2017) May 21, 2024 14:25:56 GMT

Post by gordon on May 21, 2024 14:25:56 GMT

Bludix was a reaction/parody-type YouTuber. He presented videos by other YouTubers in his videos and reacted to them while a background gameplay was running. Videos of him include mash-up parodies like famous footballers reacting to videos to YouTubers and a "Top 10 worst YouTubers" series.

His style was a bit like that of LeafyIsHere, however, he was far less condescending.

His channel had no strikes up to the point of February 2017, when he received four strikes from "TubeOne" for including segments of videos by the large YouTuber "ApoRed", even though it fell under fair use for parody.

First channel (2013 - 2017): Channel page August 2016, SocialBlade data

The Wayback Machine has a capture from January 2017, but without thumbnails.

Second channel "Bludixon" (August 2017 - November 2017): SocialBlade data

Videos reporting on the termination:

Hi, I'm the guy who used to run TVCancerPatient. I stumbled upon this thread looking for archives of vlare stuff, and I'm extremely surprised that you are looking for my terrible videos. I was debating whether or not to upload them because the videos are embarrassing, but I figured it'd be kind of shitty to go around looking for archives and then not upload videos I have when someone was looking for them by name. I only uploaded shitposts for my own amusement, so I hope you didn't have high hopes for them or anything. I uploaded the files I have to sendgb.com/IdTYrWvi9D7 which I know expires. I don't have a youtube account or anything like that, so I figured I'd just upload it to quick in the hopes that you all could find a better place for it (assuming anyone has in interest in doing so). If the link dies too soon, or you all otherwise need something else from me I'll be sure to check this thread occasionally for the next couple weeks.

Thanks, good man. What good luck that you found this thread! Actually, they are quite entertaining. You remind me of: Susan Wojcicki Removing YouTube Features Be Like
