This is a bit bizarre; why would any musician take down their own recordings, where they continue to earn advertising revenue and gain fans? Even if they were planning to sell the recordings to a record label for some anniversary album, it would be daft to close down their main publicity channel. Very mysterious...

Likely just a bad business decision. People do these all the time. What is obvious to me and you is not obvious to everyone.

Or a conscious choice not related to business. It goes the other way around too, what is obvious to them is not obvious to you.

Yes, I'm only hearing of them now, so that robs me of the chance to enjoy a lot of their music.

Yes . I was showing a friend the prodigy video and the next day I was reviewing their series on the Hardest violin pieces - Easy , Medium, Hard, God Level and then they had Ling Ling. I was watching it for the Bach Chaconne - I knew it was marked as difficult but didnt know where. And suddenly it went private while I was in the midst of watching it.

PS. I had just watched James Ehnes Chaconne on youtube . It was beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjYQlmpS69k

>This will be the last piece of content we post *as TwoSet Violin*. It’s been a wild ride with you all for the last 11 years. We’ve all grown up together and it’s kinda surreal that we’re *ending our chapter here*. It sure looks like they are just moving to a different platform, one that doesn't want their stuff on YouTube for free.

Apparently this was a bad opinion, oops.

    > Teaching is probably the safer career long-term.
Is it? It feels like it's less scalable.

And this, my friends, is why we download local copies.
