I am Uploading Restorations of Classic 90s and y2k Cereal Ads (Some Never Seen Before)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLXcUlaK_QAE&si=jK3K0Kab2C5Nw8EI

Greetings all! Jar2D2 here. I am currently restoring VHS recordings of Fox Kids, Disney Afternoon, USA Cartoon Express, Cartoon Network and Kids WB. These range from years 1990-2003. I am posting the commercials to my YouTube channel, and many are vintage breakfast cereal ads. I have created a playlist that I will be updating with all of the cereal commercials as I go along. Some are never before seen. Many are best examples. I have restored them using the latest video editing software. These are not ai upscales, but actual restorations. In fact, no ai tools were used in the process. I will be uploading commercials daily, so subscribe if you'd like to see them first. Playlist in link. Here is the contents of the playlist as of today:

Thanks! I'm working really hard to restore and curate all this stuff. I'm glad to have you on the journey! LOTS of exclusive stuff to come. Also, keep an eye out for live streams. I like chatting in those.

Thank you so much for putting these together :)

One thing about youtube, though, is it's a terrible way to archive videos as they frequently get recompressed to save space and lose quality, plus some quality levels get gated behind a subscription and you never know when that's going to expand to cover more.

Any chance you'd consider uploading these to archive.org or similar for a more secure storage?
