> Will Google start deleting YouTube content that is super long tail and unviewed?

Well they added this to their ToS about a year ago:

> Terminations by YouTube for Service Changes

> YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.

how is that surprising in any way? is it not expected that they cut costs if they're not making a profit?

People are expecting that for profit companies act for "public interest". They are confusing it with the government/state/public institutions.
