Only at the moment, YouTube was included as part of the content they're going to delete from accounts as per the VP announcement.

People should use this as a warning to save content they want to keep from YouTube that's particularly old and the account seems abandoned. Just in case Google isn't so lenient with the generous solution; unlinking YouTube accounts but keeping the video up.

Most comments will disappear. A disappointment: contrary to the meme, I found them informative and insightful in a broad variety of contexts. And going with them should be the last vestiges of the site's social networking era, unceremoniously, in the way of annotations, video replies, and homepages.

I'll be rolling on the floor laughing the day that Google deletes all the old videos, though. The amount of internet entrusted to Alphabet is just hilarious.

Interesting two weeks. RIP pushshift. Your torrents live on. Congratulations, imgur – photobucket, tinypic, and imageshack would be proud.

A pity their actual announcement says otherwise
