    I just had a alex-aware kinda thought on all these already existing content deletions:

    Could this be porky-happy way of reintroducing time-based scarcity to video content?

    Like, "you'd better watch everything as soon as you can, instead of 'when you get around to it'" as a way to trick people into increased consumption patterns.

    I assume the actual cause is just 0.01% increased share price for the next 15 minutes or something like that, but this was just a way that capitalism is probably going to make things worse I hadn't considered before, that seemed worth sharing.
