I've clicked that. There's a circle, with circles around, with something around one of these smaller circles. All of it is spinning. I've managed to click the spinny thingy and it turned into quadratic spinny thingy. That's all. What the fuck? Please explain!
It's revolutionary tech, web 5.0 at least, not everyone understands.
YouTube is deleting pre-2010 videos, meanwhile anything is still possible at https://www.zombo.com

You have to, however, also consider the multi-domainness of YouTube videos. Yeah sure, there's billions of hours of clips not one person can watch in a single life-time. But unlike your 2000-year old Roman shopping lists, we have footage of events that are anchored to a particular time-period. Or location. One of the most impressive things you can do is, try searching up a landmark. My personal favorite is the [Jumpi…
Like so many questions of this type, I think the Internet Archive is the answer. They are not a warehouse of stuff stored on media/formats that are forever becoming obsolete -- they store data, keyed by timestamp, sometimes with metadata. How they store it and serve it up is irrelevant, and they will upgrade as needed (I assume this is a continuous process). If the IA didn't exist, we'd have to invent it. I suspect i…
It's probably time to start saving the videos you like if you haven't already. I still remember when Key and Peele's whole catalog (or a lot of it) was available on youtube back in 2015-2016. For a brief window of time. Some of my favourite songs with 10s of millions of views have been taken down. Many niche videos don't get reuploaded. No guarentees that youtube will keep your unique or exclusive videos publicly ava…

That's it. It's Zombo com. The difference is it's been reliably the same since 1999.

Exactly. (You're not missing anything.)

How old are you? It's possible that you may be outside of the generation that would've appreciated it during it's peak.

I don't think that's a complete answer though. The article lists ContentID as the major reason videos get deleted, meaning that copyright trolls could go after IA if they want to. What we desperately need is copyright law reform.
Google implemented several changes to their ad / revenue - sharing products, so I decided to remove my digital contributions from YouTube (flatteringly, another YTer re-posted my most-popular video). A few years later, they lost custody of my DIY Technical Manual Website URL (some ICANN snafu), so I left their platform entirely.
The entirety of Google's properties now reside on my DNS blacklists.
