I’ve used YouTube as a storage platform for my videos for a few years now. I know that’s not what YouTube was designed for, but it worked incredibly well for me. I had never had any issues with it until recently. when I noticed some of my videos were being taken down for "violating the terms of service". Out of nowhere videos I had uploaded years ago were just now getting striked down with the ban hammer.  Everytime a video was taken down it gave my channel a strike. Eventually to no surprise my channel was terminated. This was devastating since youtube was my own personal camera roll for videos that were extremely long. Most of them I was able to get back through google takeout however like I stated before, some of the videos were struck and terminated from the channel.

Common method I used when a youtube video gets removed from their platform on an active account, if you do not delete the video and leave it in its removed state, you can (F12 > Network > Search for: 'videoplayback' > https://rr4---sn[long url]). It gives you the video back to redownload back onto your device. When a video on my channel was taken down I always used this method to get the video back. However this method only works (atleast to my knowledge) with an active youtube channel. Since mine is terminated I cant get to the youtube studio to get to the deleted video to find the videoplayback file. I have tried countlessly going through files, video cache, old editors that may still have it, old devices with it, looked for any videoplayback, googlevideo, youtubei, player, and 750x4Dm1zlA(the youtube videos vanity url) files to no avail. I have tried everything I know and unfortunately I am not the best with tech when it comes to files and coding so finding this video file in a string of code is like finding a needle in a haystack.

These aren’t just random videos to me. They’re pieces of my personal history that I thought I had safely backed up. I have until September 4th before my google takeout expires and everything is wiped for good. I have no way to find these terminated videos links on my own account. So I ask, is there anything I should be trying or a way to get these videos back while my account is terminated or should I chalk it up as lost media?

The video was a short and was about a guy playing his bed next to his girlfriend's bed he says "today I'm finally gonna play my bed next to her's" and then when she sees it he says " she sees it. And she goes for the suck that's all I remember

I know this post seems random but I have arfid (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have been trying to find these dried blueberries. I ate them as a kid and they were one of my favorite safe foods. I don’t remember the brand. I just remember the seal was like a line of Velcro seal on the top and it was a little window in the bag to see the blueberries. They were quite small little blueberries and they were sweet. And we would get them at Publix. I’m trying to expand back out my pallet so if anybody knows anything about this product, I would be ever so grateful.

Owned by a former high-school teacher of mine. The teacher asked all his students to figure out what it meant and for 3 years nobody could. He is also from Michigan if that helps

I have tried asking chatgpt, I have tried calling multiple stores I always check the produce section of every grocery I go to, I cannot find fresh marjoram anywhere. Please I am begging y'all call as many places in the houston area as you can I NEED fresh marjoram. I don't care if its a farmers market, basic grocery store, or even a delivery service but I need a GAURANTEE of fresh marjoram. I have no clue why I can find dried marjoram at every dang grocery store but never fresh.

I'm trying to track down a specific 5-panel camp hat my friend used to own and I'm hoping someone here might recognize it. Here's what I remember:

Details:
Silhouette: 5-panel camper/camp hat (unstructured, flat brim)

Era: ~2010–2015 (possibly from Diamond Supply Co. or similar skate brand)

Print: Dense all-over trout/fish pattern covering all crown panels. Large, realistic-looking fish illustrations in earthy tones (tan, brown, olive green). Fish arranged in strict horizontal rows where each row alternates direction (one row left, next row right, etc.). Lots of fish packed closely together on every panel

Brim: Solid color — either tan or medium brown, NO pattern on it

Front patch: Brown leather diamond-shaped patch stitched on the front center panel (this is the Diamond Supply Co. logo shape, actual patch was a bit larger than what’s pictured in the AI image.)

Back closure: Genuine brown leather strapback with brass buckle

TYIA!!

Okay ive been looking for this for a long time. What i can remember is the video i saw it in was something like “top 5 scariest moments caught on camera” or something cliche like this. Theres probably a million stories claiming to have something like this happen but this was at the least a very good fake. The story was something like a kid is home alone or i think his sister was mentioned being there and theres a sound downstairs. For some reason he had an actual photo camera on him. He goes downstairs and the sliding glass door is cracked. He assumed it might be his sister that did it so he just goes up and closes the door. There is a sound in the office right next to the door and he gets scared and just takes a photo to illuminate the room and there is a full grown man standing in the corner of that room. Its not some creature or creepypasta looking thing it is genuinely a man which is scary. I remember it being the thumbnail of the youtube video with the classic red circle around the man. I have been searching for that photo for a long time. Has anyone seen this story?? Or remember a youtube video featuring it? You couldnt search watch history then and it doesnt show up on my youtube. Thank you

Hello, I went to a fort years ago in Canada that was selling this pocket watch necklace. It had sunflowers on it, and was silver. Unfortunately my dad threw out all my stuff and I don’t have it anymore. I thought I finally found a replacement but the website was a scam. I went back to the fort and they don’t sell the necklace anymore. I’m really sad I loved that necklace! This is the closest that I found (image attached) but again the site is a scam. It was either a real website that the owners forgot about and no longer monitor or it was never real I’m not sure. I just know my order never shipped and I can’t reach anyone or cancel the order.

I would love help finding this necklace/ were to buy it as it’s super nostalgic for me.

Details: it’s about the size of a Canadian quarter/ loonie, it’s silver and a pocket watch, it had flowers on the back, the front had some kind of patters and an open hole showing the front of the clock, it could open. I bought it for 13$ Canadian between 2013-2016 give or take a couple years, in Niagara Falls.

There are two versions floating around: a cheap low-quality copy and the high-quality original. I saw it on Modakawa, but it's overpriced and I don't think they’re the original seller.

Anyone know where the actual original is from? Thanks!

I’ve seen them on this stupid “matching pfps” trend and I’m genuinely intrigued on who tf they are and why they’re doing this?? 😭

I saw this manga cover on Twitter that is similar to this picture presented and forgot to write down the name. Can someone find this manga story for me please! I tried looking through the website so many romance mangas

this drawing was pretty common to find in households in soviet union countries, as early as mid 20th century, i tried searching myself and asking chatgpt but i couldnt find name of artist behind it on internet, i couldnt find signature either or anything on drawing itself

I have been wracking my brain trying to find this. I am a big fan of this series called Toilet Bound Hanako kun. There was a collab with motto cafe merch but I am most interested in this cup. I missed my shot on mercari didn't realize how nearly impossible it was to find. My only leads was through shoppee in Tiawan. But I am from the United States that is completely out of range. I really would like to find this but I am not good an navigating good websites more is my Japanese even good enough to locate any. Its a long shot to ask but can someone help me find one for sale with reasonable price and possible to be shipped somewhere in the United States? If anyone has any possible leads please let me know. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I know this isn't really a buy/sell thread, so apologies if this kind of post isn't usually allowed here. I'm just hoping that maybe someone in the community can point me in the right direction.
For a long time I've been searching for unopened cans of the original Monster Energy drinks from roughly 2009–2018, especially:

Assault/Ripper/Khaos - pictures uploaded

I'm mainly interested in full, unopened cans. I don't mind if they're expired, since I'm collecting them and looking for the original versions that have been discontinued for many years.
Maybe someone has a few old cans forgotten in a garage, basement, storage room, collection, old shop stock, or knows somebody who used to work with Coca-Cola/Monster distribution. Any lead, information, photo, or contact would be greatly appreciated.
I've been searching for these for quite a while now, so I thought it was worth asking here as well.
I’m located in Hungary, but I’m willing to arrange shipping from other countries if needed !

Thanks in advance for any help !

english isn't my first language. sorry if i say smth wrong

basically, 5 years ago, my mom tossed one of my shirts on the garbage without asking me. i remembered it today, so i want help finding it (it's something that's very sentimental for me, and i REALLY want it back)

it's a cream coloured, heavycotton shirt, with purple and green details produced in the 90s, probably around 95 to 97

the image attached to it is an AI recreation (my bad, i think if i drew it, it'd be harder to find). yet there are some inconsistencies with the image. as i remember, the green part isn't a strap, but actually a colorblock vertical panel that went around the body, and it did not have the "tommy hilfiger" written across it

Help I look everywhere and can’t find it

Dear community members, does anyone know physical shop that sells 3D minature stickers at Bangkok area? Prefer physical shop since i can see the scene more clearly rather than online shop. If anyone know please share it and i really appreciate your help.

Below are some example of stickers i would try to find:

hi everyone!

ive been trying to remember the name of an album (original soundtrack) from a movie for hours but the name just eludes me. i keep thinking me before you but thats not it.

i tried drawing the cover as i remember on spotify as best as i could, the background behind the girl was blurred and she was looking over her shoulder, wearing like a thick jacket. the cover had thick white borders and at the bottom was some text (name of the album?)

i think it was based on a book then converted into a movie but i never watched the movie so i couldnt say. all i remember was that i used to listen to one song on this album which was kinda sad (daughter vibes) around 2018-2020 maybe.

any help is appreciated! crossposting on r/tipofmytongue

There's a picture, very similar to this one, of Tom Holland wearing this shirt with his arms out at a different angle, and it coveys a different mood than this one does and I can't find it. Please help, thank you very much

Hii! any help is appreciated.

with the first avatar, im looking for the face and the shirt. with the second avatar, im looking for the face and the hair. with 3rd avatar, im looking for the leg accessory, hair, hat and face, and the 4th avatar, im looking for the face/lashes and hair

sorry if its too much to ask for but if you know even only one of these items please let me know. a little help is much better than none. thanks in advance! :)

it's a short form video of a guy whos has left a weight on his keyboard to form a long note and mimics the tune that plays with Iroh from Avatar the last airbender. at the very end of the video he says Jasmine Tea very loudly

Trying to find a bong like I had in high school. Very sentimental to me & I’ve been trying to find the company or one that’s relatively similar to it for years.

I’ll also take any company that does their down stems with a 30 degree angle! It’s uncommon but it really hit me smoother so I prefer it over the norm.

Sorry for this, I just wanted to investigate :(

I have been searching for this song for so long and I can only vaguely remember the cover of it. It is a pretty well known song with a female singer but I can’t remember much info other than that. I’ll definitely know it when I see it though!

Edit: This song is really well known and I think it’s in a lot of movies.

i downloaded these back in December of 2025 on Twitter (aka X), but i can't find it again for the life of me. reverse image search wields no results, and i've tried multiple engines and websites.

the character in these pictures is a younger version of Candy Apple Cookie from the game Cookie Run Kingdom if that's of any help, and the references the artist used are Sua from Alien Stage. hopefully that can be useful information.

any help is appreciated! thank you beforehand
