Community guide
r/DeepIntoYouTube (#368, about 3.0 million) digs for obscure YouTube finds. Catalogue description mainly points to a kbin mirror; substance is in the rules: videos older than 5 months, under 100k views, direct YouTube links only, no major productions, no mirrors/reuploads. Video sample (~15.9 ppd).
Age + view caps
Must be >5 months old and <100,000 views, linked straight to YouTube—not a mirror or reupload.
What stays out
No self-promo, no major studio productions, no deriding the mentally ill, no witch-hunts; mark NSFW and avoid slurs in titles.
Practical pointers
Disturbing/volume/epilepsy flairs appear in samples when content warrants them.
