This is very sad news for all Swedes. Here is an article in english: https://sweden.postsen.com/trends/49453/The-YouTube-channel-Rosa-mannen-shut-down-after-reports.html https://sweden.postsen.com/trends/49453/The-YouTube-channel-... And for Swedes you can watch a short interview with him on Swedish Televison in the first 8 minutes of this program: https://www.svtplay.se/video/33989650/sverige/sverige-sasong-25-annika-norlin-fotografen-perfekt-rosa-mannen https://www.svtplay.se/video/33989650/sverige/sverige-sasong... The program above is from the last shutdown and the example given there about his most popular clip was a very old show of Bonnie Tyler. SVT, at the time, made the clip available officially via SVT Play again but has since disappeared from their service almost as a reminder that culture will disappear from the public unless enthusiast like Rosa Mannen can make them available somewhere.

  SVT is public service TV in Sweden. SvtPlay their online streaming service. Lots of opinions about SVT (as there should be, it’s public!) but if you ask me, it’s super high quality and it’s something that I’m very proud of, as someone from Sweden.

    I am of a different opinion. I agree that SVT Play is technically well built and the service is useful. Also, there are good programs to be found. But I think it could be much better. For example the DW Documentary channel, which can be found on Youtube, has better documentaries on average, than are broadcast on SVT. Also, I feel like SVT has an abnoxious tendency to lecture their audience. I don't feel I am treated as an adult, but I am told what to think.

      Telling people what to think is what Sweden is all about. :)

    SVT Play is a gold mine of high quality content. The music documentaries they did with BBC were amazing. Happy to fund it with my tax money, independent public service is important, and honestly I'm using it more than Netflix and HBO and the rest.

    I just wish that I as a Swede living abroad could watch the Swedish language content. It's not like På Spåret is going to be sold abroad anyway.

      I don’t know specifically about På Spårer, but it’s not unusual that they licences the idea and format of the show, and that’s why they only are allowed to show it in Sweden. That doesn’t explain why my kids can’t watch Beppes Godnattstund while we are abroad though.

        > Beppes Godnattstund For non-swedes, this is a show about a old guy who lives in a bed with a bunch of little girl dolls who need to go to the toilet all of the time.

        I know, but I'm not interested enough to pay money.

      > I just wish that I as a Swede living abroad could watch the Swedish language content. As a first step, I wouldn't mind it if countries generally adopted a system where anyone in the world could simply pay for access at a rate comparable to the public TV tax. The obvious downside of this system is that it would be expensive for certain networks (sorry Norway TV fans) but it would get the ball rolling.

And on his desk… an AMIGA 1200. Seems fitting. I remember seeing his name several times in old videos I watched in YouTube, although right now I can’t remember which those videos were.
