YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing platform owned by Google, and founded in 2005. It is the website whose videos are being preserved on RemovedEDM.
Recovery Methods
Please note: This only details information about re-uploads, not information about the original videos.
- As it is a video sharing website, re-uploads of removed videos are possible to be found, as well as virtually any other piece of metadata.
- Re-uploads which have been removed due to channel termination are recoverable using a private method, as long as the video's ID is known.
- Sometimes, a re-upload can have a title that does not match the original video, or use a title that is not easily searchable. This may cause issues with finding certain videos.
Vital Signs
- Re-uploads can be removed at any time, so they should NOT be assumed to be permanent, and should be saved accordingly. The same goes with thumbnails.
VK
VK, short for VKontakte, is a Russian social media platform, founded in 2006.
Recovery Methods
- A very large amount of video thumbnails (and by extension, some of their metadata; descriptions, durations, upload dates, etc.) can be found on VK, usually in
sddefaultandmqdefaultqualities, although they can span every thumbnail quality. - Occasionally, videos may be re-uploaded to VK in their entirety, although it is uncommon.
Vital Signs
- Starting 2022, all removed YouTube videos disappeared from search results, and later all YouTube videos entirely disappeared from search results.
- Some videos may appear in
Yandex search results, as well as VideoBox.tv.
- Some videos may appear in
- Thumbnails on VK are very inconsistent, as (especially recently, as of June 2026) thumbnails may not display, and instead show an error, as well as many other problems.
- During 2023-late 2024, all removed YouTube video thumbnails were replaced with a trash bin icon and the text "Video deleted", making it impossible to retreive the video's thumbnail. This appears to have been reverted, but many signs indicate this may have not been intentional, so it should be treated with caution and any thumbnails found should be saved accordingly.
- All data on VK is very unstable, and accounts may be deleted or set to private unexpectedly, making the content inaccessible unless the direct link was saved externally. If it is a video, the video will be impossible to retrieve unless the owner adds you to their friends list, but per experience, this is highly unlikely to happen.
Pinterest is a visual search engine and social media platform that allows users to discover, save, and share creative ideas through images and videos "pinned" onto thematic boards, launched in 2010.
Recovery Methods
