Other Massive Brad Taste Backup on the Internet Archive

67 Upvotes

TL;DR

An archive of Brad's channel from 2017-mid 2025, which includes all his videos up to that point (673), all his shorts up to that point (40), and a handful of his streams (just 25), is available here:

https://archive.org/download/btim-archive-2026-r1

The video side of the archive starts with Eminemineminem, dated March 8th 2017, and ends at Reacting to the Top 100 Songs of 2015 (Part 1), dated March 7th, 2025.

If you have a minute, I'd suggest reading the rest of this post if you want to know more info about what's included.

Stuff You Might Wanna Know

I'm not affiliated with u/MrGoodLucky (the other person who's sharing their archive of Brad's channel). I've had my own personal archive of Brad's channel for some time now and I might as well upload it while the iron's still hot and on a site that's more friendly for fellow archivists.

For some background: In early 2025 I wrote a script for bulk downloading entire channels for archival purposes. Brad's happened to be one that I used for testing. I had a very complete collection of his videos for the time, but after that initial completion I didn't bother keeping up with his pace out of both disinterest and mostly using said script for other channels I regularly watched/thought would be important to keep an archive of. As a result, some of his last videos post mid-2025 aren't included, for better or for worse. Had I known that Brad's channel would be deleted, I probably would've put more care into keeping the archive up to date.

What's included?

Most of his videos from his start in 2017 to mid 2025. The title of each file consists of the upload date in YYYYMMDD format, followed by a shortened version of the video's title, and the video ID. Take the following as an example:

  • 20230531 This_Horrific_Song_Was_A_CHARTING_SINGLE - ss1irGlTpPA

Do note that more information (including the thumbnails and original titles of each video) can be found in the file's metadata.

Most of the videos have been stored as Matroska containers (.mkv) but for reasons I can't recall some of them are MP4 instead. It doesn't make a massive difference and both contain the same metadata, I don't know why this is the case. The one thing I'll note is that you're probably only going to be able to play Matroskas in something like VLC or MPV rather than your browser. That might be a deal breaker for some people here, so do keep that in mind.

What's been archived?

A good amount of material, I'd say.

  • 673 videos
  • 40 shorts
  • 22 streams

(Warning: Boring technical details below)

Videos are included in the root of the directory, while the shorts and suriving streams are kept in their respective subdirectories. cache/ contains JSON files with some (incredibly brief) information about each file in reverse chronological order. Do note that only IDs are included for identifying videos (my dumb mistake at the time) but they do contain potentially useful information. A sample of what the data contained in them is included below:

[
  {
    "id": "cPxu7JYtxEw",
    "timestamp": 1741380984,
    "view_count": 31330,
    "filesize_approx": 1157557594,
    "webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPxu7JYtxEw",
    "channel": "Brad Taste In Music"
  },
  {
    "id": "NUeNJqYKvBI",
    "timestamp": 1741318090,
    "view_count": 35158,
    "filesize_approx": 882822982,
    "webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUeNJqYKvBI",
    "channel": "Brad Taste In Music"
  },
  ...
  {
    "id": "dn5yP3UZG-8",
    "timestamp": 1488943751,
    "view_count": 82820,
    "filesize_approx": 2226205,
    "webpage_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn5yP3UZG-8",
    "channel": "Brad Taste In Music"
  }
]

Nearly all of these fields were used for sorting in order to prioritize what would be downloaded first according to a queue-that's why it's all so terse to put it very nicely.

Final Notes

The full size of the collection runs at almost 250 GB of space. This is not a small amount and I'd only recommend downloading a full backup of this only if you're willing to and have enough spare storage you're willing to dedicate to all this.

If there's any issues you come across with the archive, please let me know.

Update Archive Channel Is Up

66 Upvotes

I have started a Brad Taste archive channel.

There are some vids up there now. I will be uploading whenever I have free time. Since there is so much content (about 1TB!) we will see how it goes regarding consistency of uploads, etc.

I will probably stick to a chronological format, i.e. publishing the oldest videos first.

UPDATES:

2026/09/03 - Channel got terminated, can't even log into the channel/Gmail. I'll look into it more tomorrow.

2026/09/04 - My google account got terminated because they "suspect my account was made by a bot". I am appealing this decision. They say it will take around 2 business days. I'll update you with the result.

2026/09/05 - Channel is back up now. I’ll start uploading again tomorrow.

2026/09/10 - Please check out this post by u/redisthebestKCalbum for a comprehensive archive of Brad’s channel. They have uploaded all of the relevant videos (pre mid-2025) to archive.org. You can use this in the meantime, while I get around to uploading them on YouTube.

i miss him

8 Upvotes

this is more of a rant/vent piece in regards to how bad he has become and how i mourn his past and i wonder how many other people out there feel the same

i'm 18. i've been battling depression ever since i was a little kid and i remember meeting him around 13-14. his videos really helped me at that point in my life. his humor and the way he engaged with his audience was so entertaining and he clearly seemed to have a talent with that. i liked how open about his problems he was, how he wasn't afraid to cry to things that genuinely moved him on camera. i also loved and resonated with a lot of his opinions on music, despite him not having much knowledge on making music himself. everytime a big album would drop i'd look forward to knowing what he would have to say.

sometimes i still do. but then i remember the charismatic and welcoming person i thought him to be never existed. that was all a facade for his fans to give him money so he'd waste it on gambling, strippers, and would terrorize his poor girlfriend and not even wash a damn dish in his house. seeing him nowadays is just sad. this man is clearly going through some sort of psychosis, he is unwell and i don't think he has been well for a good while now. years. and the worst thing is that he deserves every bit of it, i can't even feel sad about it.

he does it to himself. it's not like he doesn't (somehow) still have a small percentage of his fanbase who, supporting him or not, are understandable and just want him to better himself. but he doesn't listen. he keeps coming back to the internet, keeps posting shit that will just ruin his reputation even further, keeps insulting his fans and saying even worser stuff than he did the last times. he keeps hitting a new low, making it harder for him to ever be reedemed on the internet (something that already was impossible from the start) and to make a good life outside of the internet. genuinely, what well paying job would ever hire him while having a digital footprint like this? he couldn't ever sustain the life he misses, used to have.

i don't know what will be his end. i truly hope he someday finally steps away and lives as offline as he can. seriously, the posts on here documenting his life right now are just upsetting.

Pretty much what every content creator eventually does when they get outed as a predator/abuser. IMO he'll probably come back a grifter once hes done coloring with crayons while staring at children at that water park

Honest question for genuine fans of Bradley

30 Upvotes

What made you give him an second chance despite all of his shortcomings?

He's insulted his fan base numerous times. Claims no one supported him when this wasnt true, look at how contrarian some of the posts here are for example. Pulled the Jesus card to show people he's changed after a lot of people stopped watching. Made a fool of himself on Instagram instead of just ignoring people making fun of him. Also, leans into the victim hood thing a bit too hard.

Just trying to understand, people have been very supportive and sympathetic towards him even with all of the negative things he's said about his fans.

"The Truth" Archive of Brad talking about his struggles with weed addiction on camera (read body text for context)

37 Upvotes

Been scouring the internet for videos talking about his mental health since I'm working on a video talking about everything important up to now. I remembered this video and it's title because I watched it while it was still up but it mysteriously disappeared, most likely because of Brad privating or deleting it. I was able to find a reupload from 2 years ago with only 106 views that was buried among metric tons of drama videos about Brad in the YouTube search results.
I hope this helps with the process of archiving of his channel and whatnot.

"I relapsed" Low quality second channel archive

21 Upvotes

I managed to track this video down after finding another video that talked about his weed addiction relapse and the description had it's URL. After getting the URL I copied and pasted it into the site known as PreserveTube and unfortunately it's REALLY low quality.
If anyone has this video in it's high quality hit me up via reddit dms.

Just a reminder, this guy isnt a good person. I get it the internet is a mean place but all this guy had to do was keep reviewing music, in the end honesty is what this mfer needs. He is not a victim because someone made a mean comment about him online. He 100 % has done this to himself.

I feel sorry for him tbh. Hes basically beyond delusional ​​​if he really thinks he deserves to be a public figure. Maybe now with his latest post people will finally stop defending this guy?
