Why it is okay to archive Unus Annus.

Unus Annus has just been deleted and there are a lot of people just coming here and blindly commenting without understanding where I am coming from. Please watch at least half the video to get an idea of what this is about. It's okay to disagree, but don't do so blindly.

Unus annus is like livestreaming. Livestreams just arent the same when they are watched after the event happened. Watching this after is like watching a defunct tv show, you get to watch the videos but not the experience of it as a living entity. The community adds another thing that died when this died.

You are a Hero

Dude... I thank you for archiving this. I feel like without being able to go back to it... To have that as an option, to just look back, feel the memories, the good times, knowing these will stay, but no more will be made... It makes me happy. Just thinking about it all going away makes my really, really sad.

Personally, I’m someone who has separation anxiety and of course, seeing Unus Annus reach its death scared me. I managed to save all of the videos before they deleted their channel, but I decided not to upload it publicly to respect their wishes as well. The only reason why I saved these videos in the first place is because I use it as a form of therapy to calm myself down from depressive episodes. I do agree with Mark and Ethan’s wishes to keep these videos as a memory within the people who had the time to watch their videos while the channel was still up but at the same time, I do understand that some people cannot let go of these certain memories or that there are people who have memory problems who want to recall these videos as a way to relive these memories as well.

This is literally same as Emulating old games Its about the preservation

We lost the recipe for Greek Fire. Also a trading partner for Phoenicia called Punt; the location of Punt is completely unknown, because Punt was a huge trading partner... Absolutely every firsthand source we have left that mentions Punt assumes that the reader would know who Punt is, and WHERE Punt is. But Punt was completely destroyed, and now we have no idea where it was.

i have serious memory loss, and i was there for the whole thing— but i seriously cannot remember it at all. i cant remember what made me laugh or even how i felt, but i knew i loved it. thats why i keep so many pictures of loved ones and videos to remember them and see their story again because i cant hold onto it myself, and since i cant honor things that have passed myself i need others to do it for me. thank you for this, you truly don’t understand just how much this means to people like me. the whole point of the channel was “to remember” but i cant, but now i can :-)

Honestly, they just don’t want it reuploaded, it’s fine to archive it for yourself.

whooooooo boy time to read the comments

Exactly!!!! THANK YOU! Finally someone gets it!!! I am archieving Unus Annus because it’s the only thing that helped me get through 2020 I don’t care anymore! I can’t handle it! I need it!

i keep coming back to this video because its so good

I never got to watch it so I am glad people archived them

The idea is not to forget it. It’s to remmeber the good times, and accept that you were there to watch it.

It’s kind of like how when someone close to you dies, you can’t have any new experiences with them, but you may look back at videos and pictures of them. If Unus Annus were to just stop uploading, it would be like that. There’s no new experience, but you still look back at the old ones.

Man its been two years and i still come back, i still go to your archive because its like therapy.. this was the best that video creation had ever been. I was truly happy at this time, and revisiting it is still a beauty.

What's on the internet, stays on the internet.

Unus Annus was a comfort channel for me and my girlfriend, so I want to keep these videos for when I have anxiety or need something to fall asleep to.

you're a life saver. literally. i'm an autistic person and my main hyperfixation is unus annus, and i've been having major compulsive and intrusive thoughts triggered by the loss of unus annus for the past few days, until i was sent the link to your archive. this has been really really helpful and i genuinely really appreciate this. thank you.

Thank u sooo muchhh
