How does this community feel about including content from other classic/deprecated animation & video sources like atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds, &etc which has since found its way onto YouTube? does the origin source have to be purely YouTube? are there other/better communities for such things?
I’m not going to comment on the YT aspect of it, but I still think there’s extra value for Flash itself as a technology, particularly that it’s vector-based (also, interactivity to a lower extent) whereas video is bloated by comparison.
I know a lot of people don’t like it, though I still have the standalone player on my computer (not Windows). There is also Ruffle, which might work fine for animations (personally: the loading time isn’t great, also lack of zoom option).
I mean I know this probably depends on a platform more than anything. But there is the Internet archive.

I’m definitely a fan of keeping some of the old flash content alive - in an isolated environment because flash was always a security nightmare, and moreso now. But it would be a shame to lose all those works.
How would you share it here though, in a way that people would be able to access it?
I’m old enough to have spent quite a bit of time on newgrounds and albinoblacksheep so I’d love to see those old school flash videos. Inject that nostalgia straight into my veins.
I think if it went huge on YouTube back in the day, its fine. My All Your Base Are Belong To Us post was pretty popular.
I think we’re just looking for nostalgia.
But that’s just my opinion.
I have no problem with this. If the video has been uploaded to YT but was originally from somewhere else, it’s fine. Added to the rules.
