unironically the "lost media" has become real lost media.

[MRBYTXD]

Hi!! I’m Markus’s brother and I actually have ownership of this 1996 ARG! Me and my team are currently working on a mod with new designs! I have a Twitter of all the new designs!!

[SecondBestArtMuseum]

This is why people need to save their videos in two separate locations, their channel and a flash drive/google drive. Aside from YT, hackers are also capable of completely destroying a channel's history.

[PinkPokemon]

I guess Null wanted us to stop watching the videos so much that he somehow got youtube to remove almost all of them entirely, he he... No but seriously, youtube needs to fix its system so small creators don't have to suffer from unfair circumstances like this.
Great job on the video by the way!

[LLAMAYBRRY]

YOOO HEY ITS MARKUS' PARTNER!! I didnt do much in the ARG but i help with the Homicidal Hurricanes stuff, Markus is really really talented and smart
He deserves more credit than what he gets ^^

[BugBallYeah]

I remember making a joke about null getting soo mad he toke down the arg

[SwaggyG_]

Can't believe that something so amazing was taken down unjustly by YouTube.

[terraischaotic]

HI!!! i played one of the characters in the arg [i only had like a few lines and i was only in one episode, but i was still there!!] and this was a JUMPSCARE AND A HALF popping up on my recommended! my older brother made this and its super cool that youre covering it!! i uhhhh thanks i guess!!!

[ColdCaxxes]

Hey, I just wanna say thank you for making this video. I was really into BB 1996 but was sad about youtube deleting it for no reason. It sucks that YouTube does these dumb things. Thanks for talking about it!

[RosieCandle]

Why must youtube take everything we love

[Songal]

Thank you for this. It breaks my heart seeing a potentially great project have to be stopped because YouTube just only wants the highest ranked people on its platform making successful content.

[funnymancaleb]

My headcanon is that NULL forcefully took down the arg so he can be forgotten and move on, like he always said to "destroy the game".

[ZayZoot]

I love how null pulled a 4th wall break on args, calling out the player for trying to be some sort of superhero.

[bfdirockystan]

i got into this arg when it first started so i (kinda) know what happened to it, also it's awesome to see a larger content creator talk about it!!! :]

when i first saw 1996 it made me want to make my own Baldi-inspired arg thing (some things being inspired by 1996 directly), and while i am kinda making that right now, it's sorta in limbo other than me redrawing the characters over and over lol, wish me luck on it
😭

[SpitfireDudeNewStart]

a similar thing actually happend to ME
the original channel i made that i had worked on for 3 YEARS was falsely terminated due to “Harassment and cyberbullying” even though the days leading up to my channels false termination i was being the one harassed by the community of a channel named “JoblessMonday” or “marshwalker4” a pretty well known creepypasta re-take channel who was the one breaking Youtube’s TOS by making a “Community Post of shame” after i posted a joke video based off on one of his video, and he left my channel named and video title in the community post, which meant his viewer went to my channel and was harrased, which is a blatant violation of youtube’s TOS,

PS: bladder and badsum (the pink science teacher and blue hanging guy) are actually in the actual games, bladder being found in the demo style in baldi basics plus seen if you use debug mode to go through the walls with there being billboards that say "bladder's simples in education school - scary grandma game" and "don't end up like me! If you make bootleg baldi games you'll be trapped in the walls of here school... forever!" and badsum appears in a corrupted save/data screen

[KaleidosToCope]

YouTube seems to pick on the smaller creators, myself included. Seems nowadays it’s much more challenging to post genuine content that isn’t for the algorithm because well, it gets left behind

[Franuccino]

Hey there! Franbranreal here lol, I currently voice Mr. Baldimore and NULL in LegoDudes series, and I also created the mods, namely 1996+!
It's so weird to see a video covering this cus of how obscure id say it is, and its sad that all the videos are lost to time, hopefully we can find them someday!

[Statictvfr]

a thing based off of Lost media is now lost media that's very funny

[kaitlynboss]

It sucks so much that this ARG is lost, because I got hooked!
