More than once, artists I've subscribed to have taken down previous popular videos to promote their current work. Usually this is obviously directed by the label. Thats just the most egregious example. Sometimes people get bored with Youtube and delete all their content, sometimes people want to reinvent their channel, sometimes Youtube gets involved and mutes or deletes the video for all kinds of reasons.
I would say if there is anything you actually like on Youtube you're a fool if you don't download it.

- 6510 3y agoI use to follow quite a lot of very niche inventors and research projects. I think 1-2% of the youtube videos are still onthere. No one has to bother resuming the effort. Sometimes people started from scratch multiple times - and put it on youtube again. The irony.
- LoganDark 3y agoYou heard it here first, folks. Inspiration is dead. I'm sure none of the artworks in museums were influenced by anything that the artists saw. Jokes aside, I download all my music from YouTube rather than just using bookmarks, because I've had bookmarks go dead before and it is not a fun experience (to know exactly where you want to go, just to find out that it's been removed).
- TylerE 3y agoShouldn't that be the artist's prerogative? Aren't most people here pretty big on "right to be forgotten"?
