It looks like the author has zero connection to AirBnB and is entirely speculating on what went down based on what the company themselves wrote. You're much bet

It looks like the author has zero connection to AirBnB and is entirely speculating on what went down based on what the company themselves wrote. You're much better off just reading AirBnB's own long, detailed series on what happened: https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react-native-1868ba28e30a https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react-nativ... That said, I find it perfectly represents about 90% of React Native evangelism: someone who has never shipped an app copying and pasting talking points to shill their YouTube channel.

YouTube is in danger of becoming the video site of last resort if they keep allowing SEO engineers to drive good content down and instead drive garbage to the top Also, I got my first DMCA takedown the other day. They said I'm allowed 3 before they delete my site. All my videos passed the copyright check when I uploaded them so I relied on that as fair use. It occurred to me that my site will inevitably be taken down if 3 is the limit so I've lost all motivation to use it for anything.

  I'm sure you've thought about this already, but you might want to `yt-dlp` your videos now if you care about preserving them.

      Not perfect for everyone but for my commercial content, Vimeo has been a good choice in terms of presentation, storage, and cost.

    I've been on YouTube since the beginning. In the early days I uploaded a short clip from a favorite movie but YouTube removed it. A bunch of other people downloaded it and kept re-uploading it until YouTube finally gave up. I guess their new tact is tougher. They threaten to delete your account now.

      Not new at all. This 3 strike system has been in place since pretty much the beginning of the Content ID system.
