Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

[Blue Frackle]

Someone's gonna shoot me for saying this, but the prospect of copyrighted content being taken off of YouTube excites me. It would bring more value to official releases, and maybe make companies consider releasing more stuff that isn't out there. It would almost be like going back in time. It could make people care a little more about the dying medium that is physical media (though it's going to die anyway).

The other prospect of this thread about non-profitable content being taken off of YT still sounds like a total misunderstanding to me.

How can I make money off mine if I don't want my channel taken down?

Produce original content.

If you're concerned about your copyrighted content being taken off YT, you can't fight that. It's bizarre that we even live in a world where you can find anything on YT, but we're just used to it.

I am downloading as much classic Sesame content from YouTube as possible over the coming days. I have downloaded many of the classic Ernie & Bert sketches, a vast number of film and song segments, virtually all of the classic miscellaneous Grover sketches plus Super Grover, whatever exists of the Billy Jo Jive segments, and many of what exusts of two letters of the alphabet (D and H so far). I intend to download more in the days to come.

I am downloading the skits by playlist, by the way.

YouTube says it can delete your account if you’re not 'commercially viable'

Creators are freaking out over YouTube's new terms of service which state that the company can delete an account if it determines the user is "no longer commercially viable."

I re-read the article, and it says YouTube can delete accounts if they are not commercially viable. So what I said a few days ago was not completely what I thought it would be, but not good news nonetheless.

Either way, I am glad I deleted my YouTube account while I did.

I also learned that videos designated for children that exist on YouTube will no longer appear in Google searches. Today, when I searched for Sesame clips, they were not seen on Google searches, despite that they do exist on YouTube. Apparently, it seems as if YouTube or its users are getting a head start in labeling such videos for children.

I am trying to find a small clip that teaches the concept of the number four, when four each of people, wheels, doors, and windows make a carpool. Can't seem to find that clip anywhere on the Internet, but it was in episodes 2448 and 2415, which I believe did exist on the Internet. Would anybody be willing to send me the small clip and/or either or both the episodes in question?

Also, there was a skit from the 1970s where four construction workers build a number four. I remember the episode with that skit on it being from around season 30 or so, and had the sponsors O and 4. The one problem is, it had fresh sound effects added. Does anybody have the original version of the skit?

Thanks in advance.

I guess I'm gonna have to shut down my YouTube account, too, now that you alerted us about the upcoming effects of the COPPA. Imma have to download all my videos first before doing so.

This could apply to Sesame clips that were acceptable back in the day, but not appropriate for today's kids. Such as the "D-dart", "B for Bosco, Bubbles and Bath" (due to someone's backside shown) and "Goldilocks Takes a Bath" (due to brief nudity). They are not for kids today.

Apparently, you made some correct calculations on why old school Sesame Street stuff is not suitable for today's children. This is a good reason why I'm planning to shut down all of my YouTube accounts and entirely leave YouTube next week.

Also, I'm wondering what would happen if copyright holders run ads on user's videos. Would that mean users automatically make money of their videos?

No, the money goes to the copyright holders because they're the ones who claimed the copyright on your videos.

Yeah, any article that cites Reddit as if it's a legitimate and trustworthy social media platform can't be taken too seriously.
