Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!?

Aside from adblocking making youtube actually usable, there’s been such a notorious increase in enforcement of DRM.
I couldn’t watch jack anything related to Olympics because NBC got youtube to spam remove practically any footage, as if I’m going to spend cash money on their shitty streaming platform to find a 30 second clip. Same thing for any ICC highlights. Only 360p widened 2 minute videos get past the filter.
Almost no such thing as public replays, clips, montages, or highlights anymore. It all gets boxed up in some corporate ownership, never to be seen again aside from the live footage.

funnily enough I was able to watch olympic replays on one of my city’s (Hong Kong) official broadcast YouTube channels, specifically HOY TV, but all the commentary is in cantonese. But it’s also region locked (I just tested it by trying a US VPN) so you need a VPN to a Hong Kong server.
