But now I can watch a correctly titled "John Carmack tech talk", send the link to a friend, and they'll wonder why I'm trying to recruit them to Amway.

Right now the system is so that I have sent links to friends and they replied: "Can't find it"

Both are minor things, but I am in favor of creators being in control over their videos. Especially since it would get used to correct accidental misinformation and things like that.

I just don't see much harm in the ability even if the video creator could completely switch content.

Elon Musk tweets: “Check out this guy’s video of a Tesla he saw at the racetrack.” GM pays the guy $100K to update the video to a GM ad.
