The Curious Case of Cybershell

The Curious Case of Cybershell is a follow-up/redux of RIP Cybershell, one of the first videos on the channel. As of 2020, the video is now private.

Context
RIP Cybershell was one of the first videos made after Plan B, but very rushed and badly edited. It was the most popular video on the channel.

The need to remake RIP Cybershell came about around two weeks after it was posted. The response to the video was such that Matt decided to do as much research as possible into the subject; it took him nearly a year to do so, finally uploading the video on the 9th of September, 2019.

In the months after the first Cyber video was posted, more videos from other YouTubers were uploaded with extra information, as well as several Cybershell threads on reddit, which make for interesting reading. These, as well as screenshots, and informants in the comments section of the original video made up most of the sources used to create the new script and narrative presented in Curious Case. Due to the large amount of content and thorough research, the video took three months to make, with other content made to fill the gap, most notably Birthday Week. The inclusion of what happened in Cyber's discord server, and Planet Freedom which came after it, had to be scrapped, with Matt reusing and tweaking that part of the script into a seperate video (The Legacy of Cyber's Hell, abandoned).
