About the curation
Everything on the 1998 channel had to pass one test: did this exact clip air, release, or broadcast in 1998? If not, it does not go in. That cuts out the montages, the 1990s retrospectives, the reaction videos, and the lyric edits. To pitch a clip or get one pulled, email hello@timesurf.tv. Full rules on the About page.
