Coub is a video sharing website founded in 2012 that was supposed to have shut down on 2022-04-01. As of June 2022 it remains online but appears lightly maintained, if at all.
Shutdown announcement
On 2022-03-15, a warning banner was added to the website:
Coub will be closed on April 1, 2022. Don’t forget to download all your videos.
This notice later disappeared sometime between 0515 UTC and 0815 UTC on March 18th, though the reason(s) for aborting the shutdown are unknown. In any event, its blog has not seen a new post since mid-November 2018.
Archival
A little over 77 TiB of content was fetched before and a short time after the shutdown notice disappeared through the coub-grab project.
