Calling All Video Archivists: We Need Your Help // Google's Removing Conspiracy Vids From YT Recommended Algos...Will They Stop There? NO! Youtube is Planning on Removing Conspiracy Videos Will they stop there?  Of course they won't.  They will be deplatforming people once they remove them from 'recommended'.  No one will notice.  One won't be able to complain because google doesn't really have a way to contact them except through legal@google.com.  If you get what I mean. Our solution is to post scripts to download these videos for yourself How to Run Posted Scripts ) Download youtube-dl ) Run scripts I will post here and back up these youtube channels.   If you have windows instead of linux, you can install youtube-dl from their website, and simply remove any of the lines with # in the scripts I will be posting, save those scripts as a *.BAT file and then run that file.  It should work (fingers crossed) ) Back up other channels using the technique I've outlined below Youtube-dl's website download link for windows users Other Channels I have not listed ) Go to the youtube channel video page (lists all videos in a grid), scroll until the very end.  Inspect the center column and then copy the inner html using developer tools in the browser of your choice.  Paste into a text editor that is capable of regular expression search / replace.  I'm using geany in linux with the plugins enabled and "addons" and "line operations", installed and enabled.  You can get geany via "sudo apt-get install -y geany geany-plugins" ) Regex find /watch\?v=[^"]* copy all results ) Regex replace  .*(href=\") all results from 1. with nothing ) \">.* replace nothing ) \n replace \nyoutube-dl https://www.youtube.com ) remove first and last line ) De-duplicate lines (using geany-line operations or 'remove duplicate lines online' http://www.dedupelist.com/) My selected channels scripts Obviously, some of these channels have their own websites and have their own video assets protected.  In fact, all creators SHOULD have these backed up already. That said, it's not clear they will be able to publish them on their platforms or even if they are willing to, or have streaming capability, or whether they will move to bitchute or some other platform. Therefore if we want to help them out, we can redownload these for our own safekeeping.   Many of these videos are really podcasts of people talking without a visual component; therefore to save yourself space you can download only the audio component.  I realize this is a very small selection that I have curated for myself and for this sub; there are many more out there and please post scripts for others to download and get to it and as fast as you can. Please don't be offended if your channel is not listed.  Just comment below which channel you'd like to see scripted and I'll hop to it and publish here ==== UPDATE: UPdated list of scripts is here.  I'm still working on turning these channels into archive lists.  I only have so much bandwidth to draw these down, so I can only do so much myself https://old.reddit.com/r/TruthLeaks/comments/al2h3s/psa_calling_all_archivists_we_need_your/
