Plus, texting has always featured slang, abbreviations, lack of punctuation, shortened spelling, etc. Not the best to learn from, perhaps.
Still, I'm curious as to the logic (if any) behind targeting archive.org - is it because it allows filters to be bypassed, or was it in error? Or something else?

I have an account as old as you can get, and had no problems, so I'd be interested in proof of a disproportionate impact on older accounts.
And yes, there is the subscriptions feed, but it only shows new videos from subscribed-to channels; it doesn't function as a 'recommended' list for your subscriptions, which is what I miss and want.

How exactly does this happen?
Apps asking for signup first?
I feel out of the loop. Apologies.
The Internet was a mistake.
:p But yeah, I agree the prompts are irritating. I was confused as to the 'objective', to be honest.
Only if you're American. Otherwise: "zed-zed". :)
