Not saying I disagree, but this feels like a very convenient narrative. What makes you think there was more piracy on YouTube, and how do we know that was the critical factor?
I am genuinely curious, because couldn’t we also use the old “Google is terrible at social and at making products for humans” as another narrative that seems to fit the facts?
