I really hope someone who has put this much time into archiving stuff didn’t put all his eggs in one basket and still has these archives sorted offline in case he wants to distribute them, would be awful to put so much time into something and then just have youtube pull it away.

That was freaky! I live in Trollhättan and did NOT expect to immediately recognize the background scene of a picture linked-to from HN. If I'm not mistaken, here's the bench - https://www.google.com/maps/@58.2749468,12.270221,3a,60y,141... . While it's right by the Olidan Hydroelectric Power Station, the photographer used a telephoto lens so Rosa Mannen is in the foreground and the upstream Hojum Hydroelectric Power…

URL was since changed. Here is the original article for context: https://www.gp.se/kultur/kultur/youtubekanalen-rosa-mannen-n...

Ha! Thanks.

I read it but didn't realize it was in Swedish. I mean, I did, but didn't realize HN linked to an article in Swedish and that others here might not read Swedish.

> You're making a documented legal requirement sound like a shady partisanship Unless keeping the cause of removal secret is also a legal requirement, then this is by definition shady. And you assume that because some removals are results of legal complaints, then all are. It is Archive's choice to keep us in the dark regarding removals, and it is our choice not to trust them for it.

I assume all unarchived content is unarchived because of their established policy for not archiving things, which is the copyright holder refusing archiving. Why would I assume otherwise? We aren't being kept in the dark, we know the reason some content is unarchived and they say which content is unarchived. Your complaint is like going to a store with posted hours after closing and demanding an explanation for why t…

Because of their deliberate policy of secrecy that forces you to assume, instead of know. As this is the 3rd time I repeat this same point, it will also be the last.

I directly addressed this with my following two paragraphs. It's not secrecy, we're fully aware of why they were unarchived and have no reason to think there's any other reason.

We have deep respect for other languages, but HN is an English-language site. If there's an article about this in English, we can change the URL. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Perhaps this rule should be added to https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ? Or is it already there and I missed it?

It isn't there; the problem is that there are so many things we could add to that page that it's impossible to add them all.

I just wish that I as a Swede living abroad could watch the Swedish language content. It's not like På Spåret is going to be sold abroad anyway.

I know, but I'm not interested enough to pay money.

Just found this site not long ago. I like the old youtube feel with new interface.

The content skews a little more fringey though. But otherwise agree.

I don't know what the recommendations are based on but I get a lot of "Start a business easily" type motivational videos and IT related content. Which ones are you seeing?

This is very sad news for all Swedes. Here is an article in english: https://sweden.postsen.com/trends/49453/The-YouTube-channel-...

And on his desk… an AMIGA 1200. Seems fitting.

I remember seeing his name several times in old videos I watched in YouTube, although right now I can’t remember which those videos were.
