Atheist YouTube channels, now gone

YouTube >

Back in the day, I had been subscribed to so many YouTube channels that they didn't have the functionality to show me all of the new videos.

I'm also seriously annoyed with having videos and channels "go missing" because of takedowns, bannings and closures. YouTube doesn't even give you the author or name of a video when it's removed.

The solution was to locally cache at least the basics of the information. If I had my way, all of the videos would be downloaded too, but that's too extreme even for me. I also think my ISP would have a fit.

Getting this information can be done via RSS.. at least while YouTube still supports such a thing. My last experiences with RSS and YouTube are found in rss2email, and a rant on usability-apathy.

This list is incomplete. I have more notes elsewhere I'll eventually put up here, including if the channel owner just renamed or if there's a known reason for their closure.

I may also have mixed in some channels which are not actually atheist. I have no way of knowing that, since I only have the names and a very bad memory. Oh well.

Hey, this is JonathanClement140. I took my own channel down voluntarily because I was being harassed by trolls on facebook, and I decided to take down as much as I could that had my real name on it.

  I've heard similar stories elsewhere, with people going so far as to use false DMCA claims to flag a person's videos and either:
  
  - Take the channel down with 3 DMCA flagged videos in a certain time frame.
  - Get the channel owner's contact information if they fight a DMCA claim.
  
  Consider taking some time off, then restarting things anonymously if the topic still interests you.
  
  Remember that attacks are the last resort of people who have nothing viable to retort with. Harassment means you're right, and they know it.
  
  I hope things work out for you.
