YOUPOL / Explore

Videos that became unavailable.

A video of the corpus can disappear when its author deletes it or makes it private, or when the platform removes it or closes the channel. YOUPOL keeps its metadata and, if it had been transcribed, its transcript.

The removals

What the removed videos contained.

The last 120 days, for the chosen country. The records are written by our local model from the transcripts made before the removal; the synthesis reads them back.

The synthesis proposed by our local model

Content in preparation. It will appear here as soon as it is ready.

The synthesis appears once at least three removed videos have a record.

The reasons

Why they disappeared.

The reason is known only when the platform states it. The elements on the right are those the records noted in the content, against the usual platform rules; they do not prove the cause of the removal.

Reason given by the platform

No removal observed over the period.

Elements noted in the records

No element noted so far.

A removal can have many reasons besides content. A deletion by the author or a switch to private does not indicate a breach. The connections the records make remain hypotheses.

One by one

The latest removed videos.

From the most recent observation to the oldest. “Last seen online” is the last successful audience measurement. The interval to the observation brackets the removal date. Open a video to read its record.

No deletion observed over the period.

Over time

Removals year by year.

Unavailable videos by year of publication

All causes together, since collection began.
