Why Did Zeurel Unlist or Delete His Older Animations on YouTube?
I was genuinely concerned when I discovered that Zeurel had removed so many of his old videos from his YouTube channel. It used to be filled with fascinating animations, experimental projects, random shorts, and countless creative works that were always interesting to revisit. It makes me wonder what his channel would look like today if all of those videos had remained online.
Although some of his work has survived elsewhere, much of his YouTube archive is gone. For example, his animated short Bear Bear HD is still available on Newgrounds, but it was removed from his YouTube channel along with many of his other uploads. The same happened to numerous older series, standalone animation shorts, and miscellaneous projects that never had anything to do with one another.
I decided to dig through his older work and archives, and I ended up finding several animations I'd never seen before. I also noticed that he deactivated his DeviantArt account, which made me even more curious about why he chose to remove so much of his online presence. As far as I know, he never gave a clear explanation.
If you're interested, you can explore the remaining archives for yourself. While some of his work still exists on sites like Newgrounds, much of his old YouTube content survives only through reuploads, archives, or has simply disappeared over time.
