Information on Everfree Network and my archives of them

First question that comes to mind is, who is Everfree Network? Why did they abandon their work? Don't they like their work they did back in the day?

 

I wouldn't recommend reuploading any videos without the original creators consent. Even if it is for preservation. If they don't want to have the videos preserved, it is their rights to make them lost to time.

Everfree Network was an organization that hosted several different shows done by different people in the fandom (including the now famous Saberspark). The videos I reuploaded are not ones that have been privatized or deleted by the creators, they are videos that were set to unlisted for a long time. The only reason they are now privatized is because of Youtube's terrible decision in July of 2021 to make all unlisted videos before 2017 private, something that was absolutely devastating when it comes to preserving videos. A large amount of the video archives were created in July of 2021 because of this. From the information I have gathered, the reason these shows were made unlisted is because the creators involved stopped working for Everfree Network. Brony Breakdown and Pegasisters Live specifically both have their own Youtube channels with still public videos of their shows before and after Everfree hosted their stuff. If these creators did not want others to see their work, then I am sure that they would have privatized their stuff long before Youtube automatically did it. For several years before Youtube's terrible change, people who wanted to see these old videos were able to via playlists on Youtube. By reuploading these videos I am giving people the same option to see these videos that they had before July of 2021. If any of these creators contact me saying that they don't want some videos uploaded, I'll be happy to take them down. But because the videos were unavailable to the public because of Youtube's intervention and not because of a choice of the original creator, I believe that I am justified in reuploading them for anyone who wishes to see them.

Never heard of this series before but I have heard of Saberspark since I watch his videos now and then. I'm wondering what the people who created the podcasts will think. Right now since this channel is so new, I have a feeling it'll be a while before they see any of this.

Alright, after a lot of searching on Wayback Machine and Twitter, I think I have found all the archived videos I reasonably can find. I believe that I have covered all of the privatized series from the Everfree Network Youtube channel, and I have done my best to find every episode of these series that has been archived on the Wayback Machine. There still may be some episodes of these shows I can find if I do some crazy searching, but I think I am satisfied with what I have on the channel right now. I am honestly flabbergasted that these old and obscure series were so well archived and that I was able to find the vast majority of their episodes, serious props to the people who did that for making this possible.

I added a lot of old pony videos from Saberspark and some others to the channel!
