That viral apology video I clipped disappeared within 6 hours
Last Tuesday I saw this really emotional apology video from a small creator who admitted to faking her engagement for views. It was getting tons of shares and people were actually forgiving her. I screen recorded it around 2pm because I wanted to show my sister later. By 8pm the whole channel was gone, not just the video, the entire account vanished like it never existed. I checked the Wayback Machine and nothing was archived either. The weird part is I still have the clip on my phone but I can't find any trace that anyone else discussed it, no reposts, no commentary, no nothing. Has anyone else run into a situation where a big moment online just gets wiped clean and makes you question if you imagined it? I keep wondering if there was some legal threat or if she just paid to scrub herself off the internet.
Eh, the Wayback Machine doesn't auto archive stuff, someone has to manually submit a URL for it to get saved. So that part's not weird at all, it just means nobody thought to save it before it got pulled.
