I’m particularly worried about all the historical records. Summoning Salt & similar channels are gonna have problems after this, especially after the policy has been in place for several years and stuff made in this very era expires.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Archive Team tries their best at archiving the current situation (difficult as it is) but nobody is going to bother doing it on-going and a WR obsoleted for months is interesting material only when edited into a documentary.
speedrun.com leaderboards are going to be a wasteland of dead links. What do we do with records that get lost?
Well I guess they could download them all?
All of it? On such short notice?
I mean, maybe? They have 'til April it seems. Time to make
yt-dlpwork overtime I guess…Download them and host them yourself.
A month’s notice just isn’t enough time to archive this much history.
