Goodbye all the "Choose your own adventure" videos on YouTube as most of them, if not all, will no longer work properly :(

I (or someone) needs to archive all those annotations links on those games, since most of these old channels that did such videos aren't active anymore.

Then would be better to archive the videos too, because the next logical step for YouTube would be delete all the old low profile videos.

Is there a good listing of these, or could we crowdsource one quiclky to make sure they are at Internet Archive?
