So as I heard, back in 2014-2015, when FNaF so hapoened to be extremely popular, there was a pretty big problem, when due to bad Youtube moderation, you could literally just download a random video & reupload it on your channel, literally stealing it from the original content creator. And due to FNaF always had like 87% of the fandom being a lil' kiddos, who OF COURSE wanted to also get on the hype train but with no skills in doing good videos, there were a LOTS of kiddos(& sometimes not only kiddos) who just could download the first FNaF-related video they seen/enjoyed, & reupload it on their own channel, making their views on a stolen content from other, actually talented creators. Not to mention that sometimes the reupload could became even more popular than the original, to the point that some people couldn't even find the original videos(ESPECIALLY cuz due to various personal reasons, 99% of the old FNaF content creators from that era just massively "died" at some point, with their channels or videos being deleted. So yeah, sometimes original can just no longer exist, with only reuploads being left), & sometimes you could even see people....literally reuploading the reuploads of other people.
Why am I telling you all of this, you may ask? Well....you see, Zajcu37, just like lots of other popular FNaF creators, was a pretty common victim for such reuploads. So.....what if all of the videos we see on Zajcu37 Archiv are not just reuploads of Zajcu's older videos, but actually a reuploads.....of other people's reuploads? Assuming by the channel being literally named "zajcu37fan", I assume that this channel could be originally an ACTUAL archive of Zajcu's old videos, made by his younger fan(i can assume that the channel in-universe is ran by a kid by how all of the videos have poorly written titles & descriptions—looks like lil' bro didn't even tried to make it look like a sentences), who just wanna save at least some bits of history about this legendary animator(maybe in this universe, real Zajcu37 could just delete his channel at one point, like most of other FNaF content creators done, & all of his series became a lost media). But probably there's some case like with "Milton's Math Games Archive", where the creator of the channel just either didn't even properly WATCHED the videos he was archiving, or for some reasons, he just can't see what we can see in those videos, so he can't understand that the videos he is archiving are not original Zajcu's videos. That can also explain why these videos usually have so EXTREMELY bad quality—people were just reuploading the same video over & over, of course at some point the quality will drop to a 30p😂
But why are these videos have all of these creepy(or not) changes? Well, I assume that maybe all of those creepy videos(specifically creepy ones) could be j6st recorded by some random VEEERY hardcore Zajcu37 hater(despite not being a bad person, Zajcu unfortunately had A LOTS of criticism & hate surrounding him back in the day, usually due to his videos were always TOO much non-scary & distant from the original FNaF), who just out of spite started to not just reuploading, but editing & "fixing" his videos, adding all these creepy moments, just to prank a little kids who were just looking for funny FNaF SFM memes, but ended up being scared by this(+they wanted to make a "better" version of the videos, making them actually scary, cuz "everything FNaF related shoukd be scary", & removing "cringe" from these videos, like removing a Bonnie X Toy Chica moments just cuz they didn't liked this ship).
It's also worth to mention that strange SpringBonnie-looking character from one of the videos—from what i've understood, he is just a random OC from DeviantArt, named "TheSpringBonnie". It's unknown if ARG creator is the same who created THIS character, as a parody of typical "2015-2016 cringy & edgy FNaF SFM OCs, made by kids", or it's just a random OC creator used just for fun, but I can assume that this "TheSpringBonnie" is just in-universe OC of this hater, & the reason he is in the video, posing in front of the killed Toy Animatronics, is some sort of mockey towards them, meaning that "im WAY better than them", or something like that. Also that can explain why you can see both funny AND scary moments in one videos—maybe TheSpringBonnie just was either doing it as some sort of mockery, or he just have a strange sense of humour(the same for that "Like & Subscribe" screen of Chica, which can be just a weird way to bait people for likes & subscribes)
Also about Ryan—maybe he is ALSO a creator of some of the videos(it was never stated that ALL of Archiv channel videos were made ONLY by one person), but instead of being Zajcu's hater, Ryan is actually Zajcu's hardcore fan, & thats maybe why his OC is so similat to Zajcu's own OC(besides just being another parody of typical FNaF SFM animators' OCs from that era). Unlike TheSpringBonnie, Ryan was just a kid who loved this series so much that he just started editing Zajcu's videos just to literally add his character in the episode, but due to his poor skills, a he could do is just make this "reacting video", where he just puts a PNG of his OC on some frames, or put a picture of his OC with the subs & text-to-speech voice, where he talks either to viewer, or to other characters. Also that "Ryan the Angel Gamer" YT channel could be an actual in-universe channel of Ryan, with the kid showing his Nightmare Bonnie drawing in his deleted video being Ryan himself.
Oh, & fun detail: besides YT channel, there's also a DeviantArt account called "Ryan the Angel Gamer", where besides of pictures of his OC, there's also lots of pictures with SFM/GMod Foxy & Bonnie making out, just like in Zajcu37 Archiv videos. If this account is really official, then I assume that maybe ALL of these videos with Foxy X Bonnie ship jokes were made by Ryan in-universe. Maybe thats just his favourite ship😂
Oh, & just cuz I wanna yapp a bit more—as example of FNaF channels that got deleted with only reuploads being left, I can remember a pretty old & obscure FNaF animator(not SFM, just simple 2D animator) known as Goldbox, AKA Bonnie Bunny, Purple Guy, Mobos, or whatever they called themselves else. Their animation were pretty popular, I think you can rember their clips for "Balloons", "It's Been So Long", "Im The Purple Guy", & other FNaF songs from that era. The only problem is....unfortunately their channel either got deleted at some point, or hacked, or something else but today most of their animations are literally lost media, with only few of them being still around as reuploads of kids who usually claimed this as their own content. As example, they had a small storyboard series called "FNaF: We Can Help Them", but when I tried to find it, the only what i've found was a video with poorly made Spanish subs over the actual comics text,, & watching this was REALLY uncomfortable. I tried to find original, but unfortunately, it's probably lost forever.😞
Why am I telling you this? IDK! I just remembered this situation when I was researching about "reuploads problem" from one of the comments on PK's videos about that.
+I guess I just like this animator by myself, & always was thinking about making some sort of tribute to them :3
