youtube disables features to maximize revenue. older videos are less profitable for google compared to newer ones . creators are likely to have optimized later videos for watchability compared to earlier ones.

so you're saying they're disabling the feature of "not being able to watch old videos" to maximize revenue?

Idk, but I’ve noticed that many old non-popular videos take time to load or seek. It seems they’re optimizing availability architecture wrt that.
