Possible Call to Archive a lot From YouTube - Debatable Issue / Possible Scare

[The Gad Crusader]

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum and if this is stupid to tell the farms but a lot of lolcow videos may disappear from YouTube. A thing called Coppa just got put in action and supposedly this will cause YouTube to start deleting any and all videos if they can not make money starting December 10. It is possible this is just another scare that will lead to nothing or a complete misunderstanding but just in case I'm saving any essentials / potential stuff I can. Again, may be dumb to tell you lot and it may not happen but I just wanted to let you know.

This sort of mirrors the general advice for people to ensure to archive their favourite pets, as cows are insane and delete things with no warning or do something retarded and get their accounts deleted. If it would be horrible to lose, take proactive measures.

I'm eighty-fucking-four and even I know that's not what COPPA is about.

Archive shit yourself, nigger.

Late 2017 -Meme indian guy trying to control the internet.
Late 2018 - Article 13 killing memes.
Late 2019 - Coppa purging YT videos.
Late 2020 - Internet nukes itself because of the elections result.

2TB HDDs are like fifty bucks, just buy one and scrawl "LoLcoW aRChiVe" on it with sharpie and start downloading whatever

Tbh at this point, observing YT burning down the the ground would be the most entertaining outcome. If only because of the panic all those full time e-celeb gravy train riders would provide.

But then where would I get all my free entertainment?!

This is solid advice. I've also heard of this new phenomenon occuring in certain lolcows that's been labelled "chimping out" where they themselves will delete their content (can you believe that?) and that also needs to be archived.

It takes a lot of work so I hope the other kiwis that know their place will start the process.

This thread is dumb from so many angles. It's like octagon of dummery.

OP is a fag but the scare he's referring to might be real.
Basically the gist is that youtube updated their T&C to say that they'll delete any content they deem "not commercially viable". Make of this what you will...

This is literally what I did when I started archiving videos

I'm sorry I'm a faggot I'm new to archiving / the way the farms work. I just found out about this today and I got scared my cows would lose their pasture. I'll go lurk some more.

Please do. Thanks.
