YouTube Revival
A YouTube Revival is a website, just like a YouTube Alternative, that is dedicated to replicate YouTube's early years from 2005 to 2013 (sometimes 2014 and above) Sites like: BitView, KamTape, YouView, SilasTube, EraCast, and PamView all count as "YouTube Revivals", Some can be accurate to the source material or can be creative and make interesting features (Example: SilasTube and KamTape), some obscure revivals are never seen or basically dead due to vulnerabilities and such, XizTune and MayTube are good examples.
Guy1: Hey, have you heard of KamTape?
Guy2: What the hell is that?
Guy1: It's a YouTube Revival
Guy2: Oh.

Youtube Thumbnail-ification
The act of erasing a character's defining lore/personality for the sake of having them be an irredeemable antagonistic threat.
The term comes from Youtube horror thumbnails in which a character is heavily edited to look 'scarier' and 'evil'. This depiction is commonly seen with bloodied eyes, creepy smiles, and some sort of violent object in the character's hand. (Most usually a knife or severed head.)
Two examples of characters that experience this are Bucky the Beaver from Shipwrecked 64, and Dandy from Dandy's World.

"People always write this character as a villain even though they aren't one! Why are they putting them through Youtube Thumbnail-ification?"

YouTube Panopticon
The surveillance experience on YouTube, where creators are watched by algorithms (demonetization, shadowbanning), viewers are tracked (watch history, recommendations), and commenters are monitored by automated filters and community flags. The Panopticon is felt most acutely by creators, who internalize the algorithm’s preferences, tailoring content to avoid punishment. Viewers also feel it: a “problematic” comment can lead to harassment, a disliked video can attract mobs. The YouTube Panopticon produces a homogenized platform where risk-averse conformity replaces genuine expression.
Example: “She scripted her video carefully, avoiding any word that might trigger demonetization—the YouTube Panopticon had trained her to pre‑censor for an invisible algorithmic judge.”
