MonsterManYT (also referred to as "MonsterManYT MSM") is a now deleted YouTube channel that was active from 2015-2018. The channel was one of the first to focus primarily on fan content of the game My Singing Monster (one of the first "MSMtubers") and is known for making the first fanmade island, and some of the first fanmade monsters, inspiring many others to do the same. This mega-archive is dedicated to preserving all the content I was able to find from this channel that has been saved before its deletion. This is currently all the highest-quality content on the internet confirmed to have been made by this channel during its lifetime that I was able to dig up.
Contents: This archive includes various images of many different monsters, a few extras screenshots, rock island .svg images, video thumbnails, videos themselves, audio files (either of full songs or individual sounds), a text document containing the metadata (video titles, descriptions, etc.) from multiple videos I was able to retrieve, and some other stuff.
Why this archive matters: This channel contains some of the earliest history of the MSM community's fan creations that hasn't been fully lost (popularizing fanmade islands for example). Many of us (including myself) also share fond memories of watching MonsterManYT's videos, reminding us of a more earlier, simpler, smaller, and closer-knit MSM community too (basically half historical preservation, half nostalgia).
Credits: This thorough archive couldn't have been possible without the help of many other archivists who have saved or found a bunch of different content made by MonsterManYT...
