Cody's Lab did this as well. He ended up removing it, though I believe a small fragment was left behind.

Struggling to find the videos, best I could do was : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ylHmM2zLNQfaCIDYKKG...

Cody took down that video and a lot of his other ones when YouTube got really trigger happy about flagging explosive context or anything vaguely not advertising friendly due to King of Random. That was one of the videos he took down but he did mention it in others. I cant find the video where he talked about the video takedowns sadly.

It's sad that YouTube has got to the point where people feel the need to self-censor totally inoffensive videos.

We desperately need something better than YouTube.

PeerTube is a decentralised alternative which uses ActivityPub and can federate with Mastodon.

I guess the question is, what is it about current YouTube alternatives that don't cut it, apart from the userbase being smaller.

Oh thanks, that explains it!
