/cftf/ - cars from the front

>>200 (OP)
Saw this thing back in 2018, then when I went to watch it again years later it had been deleted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_5kK-fYIQ

Here is the latest archive.org capture of the page, from October 31st 2018: https://web.archive.org/web/20181031230633/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_5kK-fYIQ which shows the video reached at least 22k views prior to its deletion. Strange that it was deleted.

It's not playable in any of archive.org's captures. However….. I saved the video in 2018 when I first saw it, or shortly after. I saved it in both WEBM and MP4 format, via JDownloader 2. The two files have a creation date of October 2nd 2018, so when I first saw the video it didn't have 22k views but rather something like 6500 (assuming I saw it Oct 2nd and not days earlier) as you can see in this October 2nd capture: https://web.archive.org/web/20181002024801/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_5kK-fYIQ - - it's a little bit odd btw that the earliest capture is that Oct 2nd capture (the same date as when I downloaded the video): https://web.archive.org/web/20180301000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_5kK-fYIQ

The MP4 file mysteriously is corrupted (maybe it always was - ever since its creation when I downloaded the video), but the WEBM plays fine. Here is the WEBM and here is a zip containing both files: https://files.catbox.moe/uxpla6.zip

When "years later" I saw it'd been deleted, I tried to find any info about the video by searching the video name and YT code and the only thing found was this page which provides a tiny bit more info: https://archive.is/tKGKG

The YT channel has nothing on it now (but I don't know if it ever had anything other than that video): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoV6VFzD7nI5cmDImnG9u-A

Oops, I missed this February 2nd 2021 capture: https://web.archive.org/web/20210202045517/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_5kK-fYIQ which shows it reached 40k views. So apparently the video was up until at least February 2021.

Another thing I noticed just now, the article on https://archive.is/tKGKG is dated October 2nd. Wonder why that particular date… Like something brought the video to people's attention on Oct 2nd, including me and archive.org

>something brought the video to people's attention
After some more thinking I realized it may've been featured in one of secureteam10's videos… and yeah, it was; September 28th 2018: https://youtu.be/Qg1M0TPo6FE?feature=shared&t=473 - - that must've been how I first saw it.
