Xane's YouTube channel

Like many others on the internet, Xane has a YouTube channel, which contains random videos of video games and occasional videos where he looks back at things he created in the past. The channel is located here.

The first channel
Many years ago, Xane created his YouTube channel. Due to a later event, it's unknown what was uploaded to it, but the videos were likely very low-resolution captures of programs running on Xane's older laptops. Xane has found videos in recent years that are not on his current channel and may have been on the original channel.

Xane most likely didn't get many views or subscribers. What happened soon marked the end of this channel.

Takedown issues
Some time after starting the channel, Xane uploaded a video that played "Shushybye Sharing" in reverse, with the words Xane heard displayed as its lyrics. It wasn't long before the show's creator Steve Syatt had the video taken down, giving Xane's channel a copyright strike. At the time, strikes on YouTube didn't expire, and since Xane's videos normally went over YouTube's video time limit, he had no choice but to close the channel and start over. He would somewhat regret this over time, as closing the channel immediately deleted every video, most not affected by the copyright strike.

Xane Corp. Productions
Near-immediately, Xane opened a new channel. Since he (may have) started calling his channel "Xane Corp. Productions" late in the old channel's life, this was also the new channel's name. The first videos uploaded to the channel were Doom Builder tutorials. These dragged on too long and weren't that helpful, but they were notable for being Xane's first HD videos. Unfortunately, this didn't last long and quality soon returned to the first channel's 144p and 240p.

For a brief period after these tutorials, Xane uploaded videos of him using SWF Decompiler to mess up Nick Jr.'s Adobe Flash games, which became some of Xane's most-watched videos. Despite the popularity of these videos, Xane wanted to upload videos of other things more, like Minecraft let's plays and messing with Super Mario World. He uploaded whatever he felt like, but over time the large number of video series led to most subscribers not getting the content they subscribed for, adding to the fragmentation of whatever fans he might have.

Copyright troubles, part 2
In 2015, Xane's channel got its unexpected first copyright strike. Xane, worried about what could be the cause, completed YouTube's Copyright School and checked the details. It turned out that the copyright strike was not a legitimate claim at all, but a false claim filed by "EAO," a YouTuber desperate for more views on his own videos. Throughout 2015 and 2016, EAO copyright-claimed a vast majority of Noggin.com gameplay videos on YouTube so that his gameplay videos would be the only ones available online. Xane filed a counter-complaint against it, and shortly afterward, EAO retracted his claim, restoring the video. EAO has not done anything against Xane since, but he has unfortunately removed many Moose & Zee, Oobi, Upside Down Show, and 64 Zoo Lane game videos from YouTube despite not owning any of Noggin.com's IPs.

In 2017, a second video was taken down. After going through Copyright School a second time, YouTube indicated that IFPI took down his second Dreams video. Unlike EAO, IFPI was legitimate. Though it's unknown what caused them to take down the video, Xane suspects it was the reversed Taylor Swift song that played at the beginning of the video. A search brought up info that they protected Taylor Swift. Xane did manage to upload videos later on that included reversed music from her. Since this, no other legal problems have occurred.

COPPA's Concerning Changes
In early 2020, the US government updated the COPPA law and forced YouTube to require users to manually mark their videos as for kids or not made for kids. After hearing about possible large fines for big offenses, Xane made most of his videos private. Though some have since been made public again, this change discouraged Xane from making any new videos on the channel, leaving him to consider making a third channel to start afresh.

List of video series
As mentioned in the section above, Xane has made many series of videos over the years, many not updated in months! This table will list each notable series, if it has a playlist.
