@OsakaSyndrome whats going on?
I wanted to watch your I feel like an alien video

Strange. His videos *are* all taken down.

the internet sucks now i dont blame him

Damn, him and ooze both. Wild

DELETE
taken down

For me , it says "Sign-in if you have been granted access to this video.", meaning that the videos are private and still accessable by Osaka himself.
I'm keeping hope that he will change his mind back to being an archive, again.

I can't speak for him but personally YouTube and the internet as a whole feels very uncomfy now. You can LARP like it's 2006 all you want, but it's not. It's not 2006, it's not even 2016. Hell it isn't even 2021 anymore.

I coincidentally just uploaded a video called "2026 is the Year to Checkout." In the video I promised to never delete any of my videos, but honestly even I'm reconsidering that. I'd have to make another video rescinding that promise I suppose, maybe I could archive everything or a great deal on Archive.org. I honestly don't know yet.

It currently feels like some great machine is being constructed, bit by bit, a billion small pieces assembled over a million locations, but gradually coming into form. And I don't want anything to do with it.

Also dying and then going through a very dramatic week long renaissance before everyone deletes their channels is a very Denpa thing to do.

ooze here...honestly guys youtube is simply entertainment. I know people love all these strange videos some of us enjoy making but i think a lot of us...myself included...begun to take this stuff wayyy too seriously. There has been an air of seriousness on the net and its been becoming more and more potent especially in 2026...I think we are entering a post-truth society due to (mostly) propaganda. The internet has been absolutely OVER RUN with fringe schizos and bots...I fucking hate it here. I miss just being in high school and browsing nerdy forums. There are now so many grifters and gurus and bullshit everywhere. All of this has gotten out of hand. I know we are NEETs here mostly but our lives should really have more going on than just this internet shit. Not saying become a wagie...but maybe its time some of us shift focus to living a simpler life or just focusing more on what makes us happy. I know Osaka has been overwhelmed lately...I have been too. The last couple days have been very comfy for me since reducing my internet usage and actually experiencing tangible reality more. Its grounding.

>>7
i can always necromance it back to life again in 6 months if needed lol

i did notice he deleted his matrix im worried about him

>>10
who gaf bout some videos n shit im just worried about him really

>>11
im sure he is fine but i am trying to get ahold of him right now

to mint and maggots...i have redownloaded signal since i have not gotten any email responses....trying to speak with osaka on there as well

>>6
link to the vid you uploaded?

he's fine he just wants to hit be a public figure any more

its over....

>>5
Trying to migrate/archive to PeerTube?
I don't remember if there was a PeerTube link before but it leads to a 404 for now. There was also something happening with unlisted videos last night.

>>17
His odyssey is also gone. His SoundCloud too.

Just to reiterate, I've talked to Osaka recently and from what he's told me he's perfectly fine. He's not dead, he's not having any kind of violent burnout or break, he's okay.
I won't discuss the nature of our conversation or the precise reasons for his decision. I'm sure he's seen this thread, if he wants to specify anything he will himself.
Again to reiterate to prevent any wild speculation, from my conversations with him Osaka is completely fine. You don't need to worry about him.

>>14
It accidentally got filled as unlisted. It's up as listed on the main channel now.

The Disappearance of OutlawHarvest

>>6 if the internet isnt comfy anymore where do we go?

>>8 you got a point, it seems like more and more content is ai slop or some promotion for some nonsense no one wants. but imo this is also partly the user's fault, you can choose what to do online and how much, no one is forcing you watch shorts all day. go do an online course or learn about knitting or something.

and frankly osaka just leaving everything and all of us kind of hurts, the internet may not be comfy anymore but what about the fans? i watched osaka for 8 years and the thought of never hearing his wonderful Español and nuanced deep takes on everything from the ridiculousness of capitalism and wagies, to his views on European society, to his efforts in improving himself and striving for something simultaneously within and outside his grasp, like a lost mountaineer in the Pyrenees searching for his way to the top. i mean just learning a language as an adult, voluntarily, with no career justification, no exam deadline, no trip booked, thats remarkable itself, there are few individuals who can do such a thing. It was Osaka betting on himself in the most spectacular way. he's not grinding toward a credential, or a job, or anything but his own satisfaction, he is opening a door because he wanted to see what was on the other side, because beauty and curiosity were reason Enough. And in a world that demands everything be optimized and monetized and justified, that small act carried enormous weight, even if he can't see it

>>22
guys I think we found the legendary osaka chan enthusiast

parasocial spotted

>>22
outside in nature in forests i like forests i like trees and bugs and grasses and frogs

Idle psyoped everyone into quitting youtube.

>>26
Idle hasn't quit youtube though

I understand quitting, but why delete everything?

Does anyone have any video archives?

>>29
no one expected him to private all of his videos, so I dont think many people made an effort to archive much.
if this is really the end of osakasyndrome, it's certainly a lot of great, meaningful content lost forever, and totally abruptly. :(

>>29
This is not everything, but someone made a partial archive a while ago.
archive(dot)org(slash)details(slash)osakasyndrome

In 10 years time I'm going to go to bolivia on holiday and try to buy something from a store and the cashier is going to be osaka

>>32
He will have forgotten how to speak English by that time. Better start learning Spanish right now.

>>29
I have the link to his "important osaka videos" playlist, but sadly they're also private

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0vhNWLABUT-9vvKAa-w26C2gBi-795FR&si=BxdsILBjwR7oFHBt

>>31
I will be going through this later, but i believe it has most videos

https://preservetube.com/channel/UCuTqrXLQmeyu3qbc_HObUdA/videos
https://archive.org/details/osakasyndrome

Found most of the videos missing some though.

I also archived the "Ayumu Kasuga" channel in its entirety as it was not privated

>>32 Will Osaka one day begin a Spanish only channel I wonder ... ?

>>37
Are these posted anywhere?

recently some users of this site have been exhibiting extremely low levels of reading comprehension and technological literacy.
>>37 says the channel was not privated and >>39 asks where the videos are posted. just what!?

someone posts an RSS feed and some "denpa" not only doesn't know what an RSS feed is, but decides they'd rather get others to waste their time spitting out a basic answer instead of looking it up themselves.

cmon people, we're better than this. the so called "neo-denpas" are running windows. bring back the days of linux tty install videos so people at least feel some shame in displaying their technological illiteracy instead of exposing it to us all.

>>40
not even a week in to the neodenpa renaissance and there's already infighting

>>40

technological illiteracy

Given that many Denpas are luddites, using old technology, low fidelity, dumbphones, etc, as well as often having schizo views of technology and social media what makes you think that Denpas would be particularly technologically literate?

>>40
I didn't misread it. I was saying he should make an archive in case those get privated next.
>>42
Usually those people are more technologically literate, not less. Older technology had a higher barrier to entry, you needed more technical knowledge.

its painful to have to state this on present day, present time, but do people not realize that there is a reason why lain is a canonic text?

>>44
yes, but we love lain

>>42
uh maybe because ive actually taken the time to watch the videos

ill stop here because i think you get the point

>>46
a good part of being anonymous on a board is that you can cite your own work and get away with it

There's a lot of negativity on the board today.

swole doge vs. cheems format:
swole doge = Denpas
- lainchan adjacent "cyberpunk" ethos
- videos about why systemD bad
- initiating rasberry pi server
- shell scripting
- plan9
- watching youtube on thinkpad in the terminal
- embarrassed about not being fluent in arch after a few weeks

cheems: "Neo-Denpas"
- "I'm quite bad at technology"
- Windows 11 screen recording
- "What's an RSS feed?"
- LMGTFY-tier posts
- "actually its denpa to have no interest in or understanding of tech"

>>49
I appreciate the effort post at least.

>>50

>>51
maybe they would relate more to Neo-Luke Smith
youtube /@BreadOnPenguins

i dont think neo-denpas are luddites at all...a lot of them seem to just be advocating for a more mindful spiritual approach to using tech...they are nowhere near luke smith levels...this happens in every subculture btw...there will always be the "purists" and then the offshoot of people who wanna push things forward with new aesthetics and ideas..often challenging the origin of the subculture itself...i think its a good thing. I do also want to point out that a lot of neo-denpas are still chronically online, they just also balance that out with...you know...going outside sometimes

>>53
This
To be honest I would be alright with living without electricity for the most part, however the utility of a computer/phone is still something I would like to have in my life in a limited capacity
Mennonitemoding if you will

https: letterboxd.com osakasyndrome found one of the only non youtube osaka accounts that hasn't been deleted

>>55
exactly the type of obsession that made bro want to delete everything

>>53
The (((jewish))) plot to replace chad neet incel autistic denpas with virgin socialiser charismatic autistic neodenpas

>>57
LOL i love it here

>>55
Man. Respect that the guy wants to be left in peace. As >>56 said, things like this are exactly why he nuked his channel.

>>57
Triple parentheses are a dog whistle that was originally used to dodge algorithms taking down people's posts for using the word Jew or other well known antisemitic slurs and dog whistles, because at the time algorithms couldn't pick up on them, and at least when it was first used it was relatively unknown, allowing people to discuss things with one another while flying over normies heads.

It originates from the Merchant Minute segments of TRS who would play an audio echo effect whenever they mentioned a Jewish name.

Places parentheses around the word Jewish completely undermines the whole point of the dog whistle. Besides the whole parentheses thing is very 2015.

We call them Brazilians now. Keep up or get left behind.

>>57
Your low-IQ behind the times antisemitism is the main thing stopping you from getting bussy, unlike a guy like me. Lurk moar.

>>59
>>60
The contradiction between the triple parentheses being a dog whistle and the overt nature of the antisemitism was a joke. Unlike you, I am not an antisemite.

>>61
The overly detailed nature of my post was the joke.

>>62
Perhaps putting a bunch of autistic people on a board and letting them try comedy was a mistake.

>>63
Lmao true

chickenjocky.

>>65
chompskyy

>>67
That cracker is still alive!

>>39
Coming back to this, I am hesitant to do so without knowing if Osaka is okay with people sharing his old videos

It has been four long, hard, days without the eloquent musings of fair and beautiful osaka syndrome, it is in these long drawn out hours that ones mind wanders to the inevitable. what has befell our mysterious reclusive subject?

Could it be, that he is ashamed of his past? May it not be true, for his openness of thought are rare among the people today. To be ashamed of ones own true inner self, and to repress it and bury and pretend its not real, would be the a great burden on the mind and soul. It would weigh heavy in every thought and action, and cause one to doubt and hesitate at every turn. A man so burdened does not move freely through the world, he negotiates with it, testing each step before he takes it, watching for the places where the ground might give way and reveal what lies beneath.

>>70
Osaka expressed quite clearly in some of his more recent videos that it was just this kind of speculation and chatter about him that put him off from being a "YouTube personality". I get that this or probably ironic but come on man.

>>71
honestly even if it's ironic its still fucking weird

>>42
Luddites are far more tech literate on average than your tech enthusiasts sucking off Apple/OpenAI/Microsoft

i feel like becoming a schizo linux user would just make my life worse...i mean...what would the hoes think????

>>74
What hoes?

I really hope this chan doesn’t devolve into another incel posting shit swamp

>>76
You can help prevent that by making good quality posts, anon

>>74
You can mitigate it by running win11 on a virtual machine, it kind of sucks, but hey , that's the average windows experience.

so... is denpatube still a thing?

>>79
Nope!

>>76
I hope so too. I just want to clarify, these are problems I want to overcome. I know its all in my head and I need to get over it.

Looks like osaka has privated all the Ayumu Kasuga videos. The last channel that wasn't axed. RIP

>>79
>>80
"denpatube" is fucking stupid.

>>83
party pooper alert

>>79
probably not. which sucks, because I really liked pretending to be a part of an artistic movement.

"denpatube" doesn't exist it never existed the concept of a "denpatube" is inherently NOT denpa

>>86
we are reaching "real punk has never been tried" levels of label circlejerking

>>87
I remember a denpa making a video called Punk Didn't Die It Never Existed

>>88
good video

>>79
We're gonna bring it back anon

>>36
preservetube fucking sucks barely archives the entire channel

At least explain why you left, don't the fans deserve an explanation after watching you for so long? Frankly I'm kind of worried about you, did someome threaten you or something? Just give us something

>>92
the fuck are you talking about? literally explained everything. also you don't deserve anything. weird-ass parasocial retards.

>>93
You realize you are doing the same thing as the other guy by arguing this harshly on osaka's part? I get the impulse but it isn't necessary. Osaka has explained that he does not want people talking about him or paying attention to him online anymore. He just wants to chill in private and do his own thing. He seems like he's doing well every time we've talked.

>>92

Both Mint and N0 have come out and said he's fine. Even ooze did at one point iirc. You don't need to worry.

Maybe Osaka should start blogging. Blogging is great.

I think he has in the past, but tbh i don't think he needs to do anything, its his prerogative whether folks like it or not

>>95

Where'd idle neet go

I think idle got tired too lol, but i dont wanna assume anything

Idle is fine he’s just over it like the rest of us

Hopefully the streams will still be a thing, i know i enjoyed those. If he’s taking a break along with veep that’d make sense honestly, i just want everyone to do whats best for themselves in this time

The fact is we all need to move on and do something new. Saying this is a massive understatement. Still so much unexplored creative potential. Think bigger guys.

damn this really is the end

>>103
there are newgens making awesome shit...go find their stuff

>>52
We got Foid Smith before GTA VI
