Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Is preserving the bitrate/quality of a youtube movie really that important? Did they upload anything not available in much, much better quality elsewhere?
Possibly. The listing seems to mostly consist of things I’ve never heard of, or would be interested in watching for that matter.
I'll admit I asked that question before looking at the list. After looking, it only further cemented my pre-conceived notion that the youtube release is absolute trash.
A mere 36 movies, and based on titles, most if not all readily available from higher quality sources. None of them seem particularly obscure, as I recognize several actors' names and I'm not the type to care too much about who plays who.
I mean, hey, if youtube rips are your jam, go for it people. But for those looking for quality/obscurity, you'd probably have better luck elsewhere.
