A decade old camera review channel on YouTube, DigitalRev, has removed hundreds of old videos from their channel. Only about 9 remain.

While I’m not a big camera guy, and wasn’t aware of this channel beforehand, I heard about this on Linus Tech Tips’ WAN Show - apparently the page was a trusted resource for a lot of people.

The good news is, it does appear to be mostly(?) archived via archive.org. Not sure why it was pulled from YouTube, so there is a risk it could be pulled from Archive as well - if anyone wants to backup, now might be a good time.

    Heard about this last week, wouldn’t you (as a YT channel) want to leave those videos up and continue to collect the passive revenue? Unless they had some deal with Kai and Lok where they paid out to them so long as the videos remained online… I wonder if Kai will address it.

    It was definitely still relevant to watch some of those older videos if you were shopping for a piece of used gear. Hopefully Digitalrev changes their minds and puts them back up!
