There is an upside to how dysfunctional Google has become in it’s post-layoff all-in-on-Ai era. For every spam website that rises to the top of their badly maintained search engine a dozen pirated movies and TV series that are otherwise unavailable in Iceland get hosted on Youtube
Youtube has always been lax at taking down black and white movies and older European movies (like 60s and 70s stuff)
I’m guessing that’s because studios have to submit material for content ID and don’t care or don’t have the files for older stuff, but I’ve been seeing HD videos, both old and newish (post 2000) so it’s starting to look like their content ID system isn’t working as well as it used to
