If you're not afraid of copyright strikes, filter and search for old channels to download from. This can even be done through forums of people ranking their content. Maybe some old lists of channels in things like Discord channels where people promote channels. Or hire someone to help you find YT video's. There are VA's available for a few $10s a day. Goodluck!

A lot of people dig through older trend pages and archived meme accounts instead. Those clips already proved they resonate and with fresh edits or captions they work well again without looking recycled.

You can go through the explore page and use any video downloader to get them from there.

You can start with platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reddit to spot older viral clips, then repurpose them with proper edits and credits. There are also stock and clip libraries that offer reusable content, which is safer long term than scraping random sources.

You can find old viral clips on YouTube itself. Just search stuff like viral clips 2014 or funny viral video 2016 and sort by year uploaded and view count. That usually brings up old hits that already went viral once.

Use legal sources that allow reuse, such as YouTube (Creative Commons filter), Archive.org (public domain), and free stock sites like Pexels / Pixabay / Mixkit for old clips you can repurpose safely. Avoid downloading random viral clips without permission that’s copyright risk.

Most of these short clips are taken from long YouTube videos and reposted on TikTok.

For memes and short videos, the safest approach is to research previously viral content on Explore, Reels, or other public meme-sharing communities, then remake it from your own perspective instead of reposting the original. Just keep the concept, hook, and format that have proven effective, then adjust the text, pacing, or visuals to suit your new account. This will still get good views with minimal risk of copyright infringement or reduced reach.
It all depend on journey with the profile to search for old clips related to niche on other profiles using tags or other social app using related niche keyword to gain upload informations to checkout for interest video and other helpful content.
