OKAY GUYS HEAR ME THE FUCK OUT CAUSE THIS IS GONNA SOUND CRAZY
Youtube is operated by and at the mercy of shekkel-shuckling himeys and poops are deleted on a daily basis, which is really, really fucking aggravating for people trying to compile playlists or archives. Sadly, youtube alternatives are fucking trash and most of them get bound and gagged by copyright trolls once they gain enough popularity.
I have a solution, tho. What if we had a way of hosting poops on different sites while still being able to watch them on youtube? This would work by allowing people to upload videos to a special site where it won't be removed, then a small code will be given to the uploader that would probably look something like ;;poopcode;;381736593. Then the uploader can create a placeholder video for their poop on youtube and post the code in the video description.
The second half of the operation would be a client-side browser plugin. Anyone who has this plugin installed will have it check for any special code in the description of youtube videos. If it detects one, it will replace the page's youtube player with an embedded player of the off-site poop that corresponds to its code.
Now the obvious roadblock here is that someone would have to manage the site and write the code, but the YTP community is a dedicated one, so it's possible some people may volunteer. Thoughts?
