What is obscure media?
Anything rare, unordianary, forgotten, and/or not often seen. Some examples:
Rules:
General
No edited short clips. If you want to highlight a specific section, link to a timestamp in the full video.
If not known, an educated guess of the decade will suffice.
Acceptable year labels: (1985) or (1980)s
In order to discourage promotion, most content created within the past ~5 years will be removed. This includes upscaled and remastered versions of vintage material.
4)No self-promotion of any kind without prior moderator approval.
If you are a content creator or would like to promote another community or a tool for finding obscure media, you must first message the moderators for approval. Failure to do so will result in a ban.
Youtube/other video source
Videos with more than that are allowed, but you should make sure they count as obscure.
Please make sure to put the view count into the title if the video came directly from an online source and didn't come from anything televised. For example, if you were to upload the latest video from Scott the Woz (which would break the rules, but it's just for example):
Wii U: Birth of a Death (Part I) - Scott The Woz (2023) (776,000 views)
Links to channels or playlists are prohibited. Instead, submit a direct video link and then link to the playlist or channel in the comments.

@lemmy.mlThe Weekly Radio Address of President George W. Bush - parody
I downloaded these every week from The Onion long ago. They've been unavailable online for many years; even the Internet Archive was missing a lot of them. Which is a pity, because they're incredibly funny. Recently I assembled them into a single collection, filling in some of the gaps with supplements from the IA, and posted the whole collection. There are 40 files. As far as I know, this is the most complete archive available anywhere.
