    That’s a bit sad

    They were kinda little time capsules of various corners of YouTube adjacent internet culture over time

      The only good thing YT Rewind was for was finding out what kind of boring bullshit channels normies watch.

      See they’re running out of disk space though. Preserving history is so much less important than 58 minute video essays about [insert any banal topic].

        Unlisting just means they’re not shown in searches, the video is still available, so storage has nothing to do with it

    Why is this even mildly infuriating? Who’s that emotionally invested in a corporation and a bunch of influencers patting each other on the back?

      I gotta ask, is this a common thing? I’ve never seen any of that. Not that I don’t believe it exists, but I have a hard time believing it’s among the most popular topics.

        go open youtube in a private tab and see how long it takes for an innocuous video to get a recommended video from the manosphere, rightwingtube, or magaworld. youtube pushes nazi shit hard. if they’re not pushing it on you, it usually means their mathematical model for determining who right wing propaganda works best on indicates you’re not a good target, in which case they’ll mostly push meaningless drivel.

        youtube and youtube culture have been dying a right wing nazi death for a decade now. all the best things people were doing are on patreon and nebula now
