Hey, I found a post you made a few years back about reuploading 3 of Edd's Vokle livestreams. I've found/received multiple testimonies that all of Edd's Vokle streams (which would've been around 15-ish) were uploaded to YouTube on a burner account around 2015 - 2018. I'm curious if you remember this and could provide any additional information?
Yes! Wow, I was around for this. So, back around that time, a burner account on YouTube had the videos uploaded. I actually wrote about this wayyyyy back in the day, which I'll quote:
The link to the specific videos I've uploaded are here. As for the original channel who once had a majority of the live streams, I wish I could say. This happened years ago, and so the link to the channel (which I know for a fact was deleted or terminated) is long gone. It miiiight be on my old pc, but even if I could get the thing to work again, I doubt the link is still in my browser history.
The channel itself was unaffiliated with Eddsworld or Edd Gould, and they had a blank icon and their username was some gibberish nonsense. Like xewQxeew or something, I just remember there being an "x" and "q" in there.
I tried shoving the links to the YT videos when they got deleted into the wayback machine, I've tried searching the names of the videos, even the thumbnails, and found nothing. This was back when the YT first got deleted. I tried searching Vokel on the wayback machine, but I can't remember how far I got. Nothing big obviously, though.
I watched these videos a lot back then, and finding out the channel who uploaded them was terminated one day was horrible. I am BEYOND lucky that through my connections back then (I was connected to members affiliated with/worked with the actual Eddsworld team back in 2018) someone had, coincidentally, saved 3 of the videos on their hard drive and anonymously handed them over to me to reupload.
It's been so long that my memory is vague, but I can assure you that there was more than those 3, as you say. I want to say there were 2-3 "Mail Time" streams, and maybe 6 generalized streams, and the rest were animation streams. I have reuploaded 3 of those "6" generalized streams, and 0 of the mail time or animation ones - which is sad, as one of the mail time streams has one of the funniest bits that I still remember, where Edd opened an envelope he got from a fan, and the envelope was...completely empty. Nothing inside at all. And all Edd said was, "I really hope they didn't send me anthrax."
I also don't have the time to double-check right now if one of the streams I've reuploaded has this, but he also answered the question of "who has said the meanest/most hurtful thing to you in your life" (along those lines...) and Edd answered "Probably Matt."
I did try so, so hard back then to recover those videos. I had the YT links still saved in my browser history at the time, so I pasted those links into the Wayback machine, into google search, pretty much everywhere. I even searched by thumbnail images and checked Vokel on the Wayback machine. Trust me, I did everything I could back then, and I just couldn't recover them.
Sadly, our only chance at getting these videos back is if someone comes forward with them. We are already so lucky someone had THREE just lying around, but I don't think it's impossible there might be more lying around on someone's PC. At this point it's a matter of spreading the word and hoping it reaches the right person.
(Is there a LostMedia Wiki page about this yet? There should be.)
