I'm not an avid youtube watcher, but there was a specific user-made video to a rare version of a song that I used to keep coming back to. It's not on Youtube any more. That version of the song isn't even on youtube any more.
I'm fairly lazy / procrastinatey when it comes to things like that, but thank f*ck I yt-dlp'd it (and really not too long before it was taken down - and I don't know why and can't track down why or who made the clip).
Maybe I need to do a search to see if other people are looking for it...
And if anyone cares to know: The Mountains of Madness CD1 (I think) version Idalah Abal by John Zorn / Electric Masada, and the film clip was a bunch of still of various, mostly fringe, some quite gross/confronting art pieces. For me, it fits beautifully with the phrenetic music.
I think there's a big, thick, mental health-related line that separates an archivist from a hoarder.
one of the reasons i try and remember to download playlists or all videos from a channel in at least 480p dates back when a zen landscaper/lawn maint/mower guy's videos got wiped because people doxxed his clients. He was, to us, the audio-visual equivalent of an anti-anxiety medication. He had a "dingo" style mower, where you stand on an articulating platform; behind something that looks like the things they use to wax/clean floors in markets with tile floors.
I hadn't seen many (if any) videos, prior to his, where someone would go "clean up" around either abandoned or neglected properties (like a rental off season or something) - weed-eating the sidewalks and shoveling. It's more common now, i see several different creators doing similar videos now; and things like powerwashing driveways, the carpet ones (those are pretty zen if you like gross, unidentifiable liquids), and a few others.
The closest thing i've found to his stuff is Andrew Camarata (@ on YT), but their videos are much louder in general.
anyhow, all this to say - it spurred me into action. I started using "home server" stuff shortly after.

Edit: OK, there are more versions the song on yt, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swpvDV6Qvik, but that custom film-clip ain't.
Edit 2: Wrong on both counts, my search-fu ain't what it used to be. It's still there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9jk6lolne8
There was a good couple of years it didn't float to the surface of any unchanged search query.
Cool story bro, pity it makes your argument eat itself... sigh.
