no the "commons" in this case is the fundamental free-ness of YT - if abused then any corporations will have to shut it down... OTOH I'm 100.0% sure that google has a plan, been expecting this for years and in particular, has

You can see how Google rolls with how they deleted old Gmail accounts - years of notice, lots of warnings, etc. They finally started deletions recently, and I haven't heard a whimper from anyone (yet).

love this idea on so many levels. Of course, then the fight moves to how allocation happens, and how to avoid people further gaming things like repo stars, forks, PRs, voting, dependencies, etc. in particular, there's repos with extrem
