Keyser_Soze Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 At least it's giving more time than Twitter is to be considered inactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I wonder how much heavy lifting "may delete" is doing here. I have a hard time believing YouTube will purge videos with tons of views on a years dead account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing YouTube will purge videos with tons of views on a years dead account. Yeah, like the history of dance video that was the most viewed video for a long time. I bet that account isn't doing much these days but this is something you'd certainly keep around right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Yeah I wonder if they take into account videos still getting active views and comments. I'll have to backup videos on my late father's YouTube channel of him playing music at folk festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
