Can we expect the Watch Later playlist go away now? Because, technically, that's a playlist and if other's videos are on it, that won't make sense.

Just wait until you have the warnings appear on your viewing history page

Good time to get rid of my "how to destroy the universe" playlist. Don't need my 11 subscribers losing out on my awesome lack of content.

 

[J-Roderton]

Daily Youtube stupidity.

The stuff I watch is all fight sports, cars, and bodybuilding stuff. ‘Misogynist ‘ is probably what they would call it

As I've said several times, we gave these companies too much power. We are hostages at this point.

Oh jesus christ. why on earth????

They are determined to destroy what they have.

The amusing thing is, they will create a rival platform purely through their own actions.

It will happen. Just going to take someone with a lot of money, a brain and balls.

There's some very important context missing:

The playlist in question was a collection of those videos of kids with creepy pedophile comments on them. She was ostensibly trying to help YouTube, but it's not surprising that YouTube would ask her to take it down -- the whole problem was that people were creating a sort of ad hoc pedophile ring through playlists and comments. A public playlist was basically a one-stop shop for those creeps, even if it was created with noble intentions.

I know some people here like to fantasize about YouTube being evil incarnate, but I'd say it was correctly erring on the side of caution here.

There is nothing fantastical about it.

It is so blatant that Google even used the motto “Don’t Be Evil” in a delightful example of epic trolling. The idiots lap it up.

There are platforms out there, but it's full of cringy QAnon/conspiracy/nationalism stuff.

"RIP internet" is more the feeling ive been getting for 2018/2019

times are changing and its not looking good for the general internet weve grown up with.

 

[MetalAlien]

You guys ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until this is against the law!

RIP Youtube

It made it`s time to be honest.

Every major internet site has its glory days and then at some point, it starts dying because of such crap.

 

[Javthusiast]

Soon you will get a community guideline strike for watching a single video that yt doesnt like.

 

[Afro Republican]

Its bad, but it makes sense why they would do this. You can put playlists on your channel with other peoples videos, and that's sometimes used to get around shadow banning and censorship.

Kind of reminds me of Tim Pool on JRE with the twitter people.

I didn’t always like Tim’s approach but I agreed with his point of view.

It approaches dangerous territory when political influence is altered by these companies
