After LeafyIsHere was terminated from YouTube in August 2020, this parody channel became popular: web.archive.org/web/20200922021443/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrMyPhPsnAPS9kHRPWg89xA

It was named "LeafyIsHere" as of September 2020, but was renamed to "Weafy" later in 2020 to avoid appearing like an impersonation.

This channel existed since April 2017, so it must have had a different name prior to the Leafy drama. Currently, it is named "Daze": www.youtube.com/@daze . Nearly all LeafyIsHere parody videos from that channel are privated.

One of the lost videos from the September 2020 channel page archive is "the worst animator on youtube" (URL), with a drawing of Andrei Terbea in the thumbnail.

Why Andrei Terbea? Andrei made the video "The wasted potential of Leafy", a video explaining Leafy's suspension from YouTube, stating it was justified.

The channel archive from September 2020 shows it had over 4000 views three hours after it was uploaded. At least someone must have saved it, right?

The above cartoon video has been found again! An anonymous archivist sent it to me.

On September 10, 2023, German video maker "Sashka" uploaded the video "Scam um jeden Preis? - Juliencos fragwürdige Finanztipps", where she documented apparent scams and bad financial advise promoted by Julian Claßen, who previously had a rather positive reputation in YouTube Germany. It was online for several months, until Sashka was legally threatened by those she criticized into taking it down.

Until then, it had gathered over 700000 views.

We know that someone tried saving the video into the Wayback Machine, but the Wayback Machine tells us "Attempts to archive this video failed". No uploads of this video exist elsewhere.

In 2014, when WhatsApp introuced two blue check marks for read receipts, there was a parody video assigning humorous meanings of what three to seven blue ticks would mean, as well as one or two red ticks. Some of them had to do with breakups and cheating couples, as far as I can remember.

I am unable to find this video anywhere.

In German YouTube, there is a subgenre of video makers who state their opinions and criticize other YouTube creators. One of them is "Just Nero", who has 438 thousand subscribers at the time of writing.

His early video essays from 2016 and 2017 are largely memory-holed. Among those are videos criticizing KSFreak, Krappi, MefYou, and Melina Sophie, who were highly popular back then on YouTube in Germany.

In particular, the video by Just Nero criticizing Melina Sophie mentioned the brand loyalty of Melina to Apple, because she purchased an iPhone 7 after she said she believes her iPhone 6+ or 6s+ was deliberately slowed down by Apple. The video where Melina said this was thankfully picked up by the Wayback Machine.

On July 24th, 2019, the ppopular German science and history creator Mirko Drotschmann, MrWissen2go, who has over a million subscribers, uploaded "die Wahrheit über TikTok", meaning "the truth about TikTok". As the name suggests, it is a criticism video about the TikTok social media platform.

On the next day, he inexplicably privated that video after hundreds of thousands of views. On social media sites such as Twitter, Mirko was queried by many people about the takedown but he first stayed quiet.

On May 9th, 2020, he re-published an altered version of that video, explaining he has received many inquiries about the removal of the first video and explained it contained some factual inaccuracies.

The original revision of the video has been wiped from existence. There are no backups on the live web.

The digital pianos and musical keyboards of Yamaha come with bundled music tracks, with one of my favourites being "Cast Away":



I could not find the demo tracks of the CLP-320 anywhere online. Tracks of many other Clavinova pianos already exist online.

If any of you happens to own a Yamaha CLP-320, please be so kind and extract its audio tracks and then upload them. This can be done by plugging it into a computer with a 3.5mm AUX cable from the headphone connector of the electric piano.
