Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users

  Google’s going to delete inactive google accounts. So if you see a channel whose last upload was six years ago, there’s a good chance it’s about to be deleted

    Thanks. I looked it up and read that Google decided according to the latest news they’re not deleting YouTube accounts with video uploads. We’ll see.

    Oh I suppose my diseased father’s small channel with a few of his live music performances will be deleted. Lovely.

      By the look of it they won’t be but I would make an offline copy just to be safe. Maybe re-upload it on a newer account/website.

    Goddamnit, I didn’t even think about this when I saw they were doing the mass delete. Here’s to hoping that they’ll at least keep the videos up. Waaaay too much stuff on YT to lose it all. Anyone know if archive.org is backing them up?

      At this point you got to imagine that archives hardware infrastructure has to be as big or bigger than Google’s.
