AbbyRemix | Fable 1996 Annotated: Part 3 @AbbyRemix | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is a recording of the Let's Jab Fable (1996) series of videos where people logged in and crapped up the screen with attempts at being funny or just straight-up tagging. It was a bitch trying to wrangle it in, but it could result in a kind of magic only the internet at large could create together. This is one of the better results of everyone's efforts, but it sure as hell took a lot of deleting on my part (over on the UnoriginalMaterial channel). I don't regret anything about it. I only wish YouTube kept up the feature or at least kept the annotations live.

These were only able to be recorded (today, in fact) due to a large amount of programming and archival effort on the part of others, making sure as much of the annotation data as possible was saved before YouTube pulled the plug, and they even managed to give us ways to still view the stuff. If you're interested in watching the videos that still remain on YouTube (creators might have deleted them since) WITH their original annotations, check out this GitHub repository for the plugin I used to view them in order to record them for posterity: github.com/isaackd/AnnotationsRestored

And if you have any videos that matter to you, please do the same while you can. Not everything on the internet lasts. It takes people who care and make the effort to save what's important to them. Sometimes, even the creators of the content stop caring. If you want something to last, make sure it does.
