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.
This is fine with me. If the video has been uploaded to YT but was originally from somewhere else, it’s fine.
