I have a huge collection of fanvids I've downloaded over the years decades really, but it's certainly slowed down. I'm not even sure when I last tried searching for them over on youtube. While I did find some for TK/Carlos there, it's kind of a hassle having to go and look instead of just following a fanvid community and people promoting them. I think I try going for the fandom, ships/characters if desired and variations of "fanvid", "music vid(eo)" or "fan edit". If I'm feeling especially luck (and have a craving) I might even try to search for specific artists/songs, but that rarely works. It doesn't help that YouTube's not very helpful in filtering older ones out when you're trying to check if there's anything new out there.
I'm also not a big fan of the amount of original audio of what people say being left in. I remember finding it cool in the first couple of videos, but it kind of grew "old" very quickly and I really prefer the ones that are just music.
I agree with it being a great source of inspiration. Or even just a great way to find new to me music which then turns into a source of inspiration.
