YouTube Videos From Some High-Profile Channels Have Disappeared (venturebeat.com)
Late last week, YouTube videos from several high-profile channels began to mysteriously disappear, puzzling both the owners of those channels and viewers. Some of these channels include MIT Open Courseware, Blender Foundation, Jamendo Music, India's Press Information Bureau, soccer club Sparta Praha, and England Rugby. In a statement, MIT Open Courseware said, "You may have noticed that we are having some trouble with our videos! Please stand by. The elves are working around the clock to fix the issue. There is still a ton of content you can use on MIT OCW's website that doesn't have video. Hang in there folks!" Ton Roosendaal, the chairman of Blender Foundation, has been tweeting his frustration at YouTube. The issue, which per Roosendaal YouTube is aware of, is yet to be resolved at the time of publication.
TorrentFreak, a news website which covers piracy and copyright issues, speculates that YouTube's piracy filters could be the bottleneck here.
YouTube has addressed the issue, says it is working to bring the videos back online.

...hard
but YouTube pulled it!
YouTube is no longer a stable self-publishing platform. Time to move on before it gets completely sucked into the dead media vortex.
I am going to figure YouTube with its faults isn't trying to be crazy evil. Just may have some problems on Servers used for High Volume traffic.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
YouTube is a $2B corporate welfare recipient that considers "fighting white supremacy" one of its most important engineering goals. They're not operating in the real world like most of us where the average person is more likely to be offended that their machine learning specialists are more concerned about Richard Spencer than answering "why are demonic horror movies like Hereditary showing up on channels primarily targeted at small kids."
Actually, in YouTube's case there are probably several hands who aren't aware of the other's actions. The advertisement one is busy trying to make sure ads don't show up in certain places, the piracy one is busy doing it's own thing, and the one who used to promote original material hasn't been taking its meds lately. None of them talk with one another to coordinate changes or specifics about what is being changed so who knows. All three could be stepping on top of one another. It's not like YouTube is telling anyone, anything so you might as well read the tea leaves as you'll get just as much information out it.

Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
Loading with no videos, not loading at all.
YT is having real issues.
Funny how Jamendo was affected, a site that focuses on distributing open licensed music from independent artists. I was just literally listening to Jamendo a few minutes ago on my phone, they've got some really good stuff.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
... I'm carrying my last mod point and, in a very unusual move for me, I was poised to downmod tripe about, apparently, criemer by an AC.
I got a posting error and, sure enough, the goddam post was taken down.
If I knew who the fuck did that, I'd hunt them down and upmod them Insightful.
So, thank you for that.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
I mean this literally... other than TV salespeople, who cares? Every decade or two, when it's time to get a new TV, I go to the TV store, and I buy something that they have in stock, within my budget. I couldn't care if it was OLED, LED, or FairyDust powered. A TV is a TV is a TV.
Google's copyright filters will predict when you die. Upload that rickroll and you will be graverolled.
My bet's on a media corporation claiming their content and sending DMCA take-downs. Happens a lot, apparently.
Debate is a form of harassment. Do not question my truth.
are you human ? I need to ask that question, because you seem to be from alpha centauri or something to no remember in your youth pushing boundaries and try to get your hand on the forbidden fruit. That is getting your hand on a stash of porn, getting your hand on video, including violent one, and I pass many others. You think our parent did not have tight hand on us ? Well YUPPEE DOO. Parents cannot be behind their kid 24/7. Even if they could, there is a point at which they must release a little bit of leash or they will never get a a proper adult being able to handle stuff on their own. Why do you think there are many many forums and how-to from kids on how to bypass nanny software or how to proxy through a great-wall-of-china firewall for children ? No. It is not realist to think you can be behind your children 24/7 and catch them doing naughty things. What I would expect is parent starting to educate their children on what is naughty, why it is naughty, and why they should be avoid , teach them responsibility, but even then there are limits. I can hardly see you teach your children about porn, the holocaust, nazi, racism, torture, snuff film, in one fell swoop when they are below their teen, and YET they will most probably get into contact with it.
There is a reason why we put the responsibility of not selling porn on alcohol on the skin mag seller and the local waterhole and not the parent. Because parents cannot be 24/7 so the damn provider are responsible to play guardian catch-kid. But you and many other simply chose to forget all of that and complain. That is why I have to ask if you were born and educated on earth, because you simply seem not aware of any of the points I jsut listed. That or you have no kids and conveniently forget your own youth.

You know how I know you're not from the future? Because you think blockchain will still be around in any meaningful capacity.

This is cover/testing for the massive internet censorship and blackouts that are coming within the next week or two.

You lost your videos TODAY. Pray I don't alter the deal any further!

Of course not. Google believes they are both above the law and all forms of journalism. And they can continue to believe and do those things because shareholders keep investing money in them.
"The elves are working around the clock to fix the issue", really? Fuck you. Seriously, you have kidnapped a group of height challenged people and stuffed them in your basement and told them to "fix Internets". I hope they rebel and eat you.
Then how will Soros watch cat videos??

I had an experience once where I came up with something, or thought I did, then later found out it was the very distinctive hook of a popular song. Apparently I subconsciously remembered it. I'm not a musician, just "came up" with a fee notes one time.
I wonder if Shazam or something similar would find very similar music? I don't know if Shazam identifies music, as notes, or just the original recording. For example, would Shazam (or something similar) identify the same song (exactly) played on a piano instead of a guitar? I don't have any idea. I might be interesting to try it.
