Can someone tl:dr this? What happens to videos that were uploaded by old no-longer active users? Are they going to disappear as well?

#102Ironic how Twitter, who turned their backs on developers years ago, are now forced to backpedal now that they are in decline. The same day, YouTube turns their back on content creators. A preview of things to come?

Option 7: Remove all pre-video ads from YouTube and return it to the way it was, dropping the idea of monetizing the world's largest creative platform. Edit: False dichotomy. Monetization does not necessitate ads. But you get what I meant.
Since running YouTube isn't cheap and Google isn't a charity, that seems practically equivalent to shutting down YouTube altogether (after some reasonable notice period).
Google runs plenty of other things for free that benefit them by driving traffic to their ad platform in the long run.

>so now it's confusing! Is it confusing? Or were you able to tell from context what the user meant? I suspect, given the language ability you've displayed here, that you had no trouble discerning the meaning the user was attempting to convey. Language is not a series of rules to follow, it's a loose confederecy of conventions we used with each other to get our point across.
To a native speaker, sure. But to a non-native, those words have entirely different meanings to them.
Entirely different meanings? They seem pretty close to me: If something is loose, it's easy to lose because it's not tightly bound or fitted.

#105I guess they're just going for the entire Alphabet of antitrust discussions.

#106Serious question: What if I'm dead?
There are some amazing youtube content creators who cannot sign this new deal due to the fact that they are now deceased. Is their legacy going to be lost forever because they can't sign up posthumously?

Presumably their estate can.

On this note, does anyone know of specific channels that are likely to disappear because their creators are either dead or unwilling to accept the new terms? I will archive all of them. You can also email me.

#109So let me get this straight, if I stay on the "free" youtube with my adblocker, I can continue to see all videos ad-free? Or only the non-red ones?
I've been wondering when the day would come that youtube simply interleaves ad content into the videos and bypasses adblock. Perhaps they haven't done it in the past to avoid user backlash. Now they can simply say "upgrade to red to get back to an ad free experience".

#110I think this is a bad decision but let's look at Googles options for showing content to users who pay for their service. Option 1: Don't show you videos from creators who don't sign it's deal. Option 2: Show you videos from creators who don't sign it's deal, but include ads. Option 3: Show you videos from creators who don't sign it's deal, but eat the loss. Option 4: Remove videos from creators who don't sign, and yo…
>Really, for Google it's a loose loose situation
Is it though? Are you sure its not a lose lose situation?
