I understand the frustration if you're here for blockbuster discoveries every day, but preservation is about all media. Grandma's sock puppets might be someone's lost family heirloom or the last work of an unknown artist. This stuff shapes culture too. We save what we can, big or small.

Oh, waaah! Did someone's treasure hunt turn out to be too boring? Maybe pitch in and share something cool instead of whining. Just a thought.

You're not wrong about the volume of minor posts, but remember, everyone starts somewhere. One day it's grandma's sock puppets, next thing they're unearthing lost pilots of famous shows. We gotta encourage exploration and hunting for all kinds, broadens the net, ya know.

Dude, don't knock grandma's sock puppet shows. That's someone's childhood memories right there. This sub ain't just for the 'big' lost media - it's about the personal, the niche, and the obscure. Makes me wonder, what lost media would YOU be hyped to find, huh?

lol I get it but sometimes the ‘lame’ stuff is important to someone, ya know? Not everything lost has to be a big conspiracy or a blockbuster film. But yeah I hear ya, could use some more groundbreaking finds.

Remember, 'rare' is subjective. Each post, 'lame' or not, is a chance to learn about someone else's slice of history. There's value in that. Plus, you'd be surprised what 'boring' stuff can lead to the really juicy finds. Keep an open mind!

The grandma's sock puppet show might be the Citizen Kane of home movies for all you know 😂 But yeah, mix of low effort and hidden gems in here.

Hey, I'm new here and thought it was all about finding old shows and movies. But now I'm kinda liking the personal stories. It's cool to see people caring about their own history y'know?
