For the best videos in the history of YouTube. All sh.itjust.works server rules apply here. This is an archival community so moderation will be strict to keep the quality of posts at a consistently high level.

Some Rules

  1. No reposts unless it's been over 12 months and the original post wasn't highly upvoted.
  2. Tag NSFW
  3. Videos must be from before 2018. If they have been deleted and reuploaded, please make a note of that.
  4. Videos need not be originally from YouTube. If they were uploaded to some other platform (atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds) but fit the definition of an internet classic, that's fine. But you must post a link to a YouTube reupload, not to another website.

MODERATORS
 

How does this community feel about including content from other classic/deprecated animation & video sources like atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds, &etc which has since found its way onto YouTube? does the origin source have to be purely YouTube? are there other/better communities for such things?

I'm definitely a fan of keeping some of the old flash content alive - in an isolated environment because flash was always a security nightmare, and moreso now. But it would be a shame to lose all those works.

How would you share it here though, in a way that people would be able to access it?
