Digital Preservation

This channel was a socialist channel that provided short, memey-style clips/shitposts/edits, such as ludicrous Western media footage. Here's the [channel](https://web.archive.org/web/20240124055953/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPiyJf1nfye8AAuf8DTzIUQ) from the Wayback Machine. This is their [twitter profile](https://twitter.com/PamphletsY).

I am posting this here in case anyone has his videos archived for preservation purposes. I haven't found anything yet. cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/927769 > > >I'm not sure the best community on Lemmygrad to post this, so I am posting it here. > >One of the communist YouTube channels I watched occasionally was [The Red Spectre](https://www.youtube.com/@RedSpectreHaunting), aka Australia's communist sweetheart, and his channel is no longer existing on the platform, unfortunately. I hope it returns, or at the very least his videos are archived somewhere and will be available on another platform.

You may download them yourself with these commands: `yt-dlp -f 22 -R infinite --retry-sleep 60 --clean-info-json --remux-video mkv --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --xattrs 'https://web.archive.org/web/20230708140322/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANoUidSWgZs' -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'` `yt-dlp -f 22 -R infinite --retry-sleep 60 --clean-info-json --remux-video mkv --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --xattrs 'https://web.archive.org/web/20230405120502/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moZWbYcz2YM' -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'` `yt-dlp -f 22 -R infinite --retry-sleep 60 --clean-info-json --remux-video mkv --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --xattrs 'https://web.archive.org/web/20230603024143/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkpLNpcHrRQ' -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'` `yt-dlp -f 22 -R infinite --retry-sleep 60 --clean-info-json --remux-video mkv --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --xattrs 'https://web.archive.org/web/20230628050058/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eclULaLCCqI' -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'`

On my feed I've seen articles that this Folio company wants to produce these drives in 2024. But I haven't seen anything real. Be cool if it were a real thing.
