Perhaps it's just my imagination
([related](/tdro/messages/protocol/#tdro-messages-protocol)). Imagine you're
shown a bag making clip on YouTube (maybe from Brazil).

You (on a whim) _zip_ on over to the channel for more sewing, only to be slammed with
{{< abbr US "United States" >}} engagement politics. The commenters (English) never seemed to have gotten the context that it's a
[channel in Portuguese about bags](https://web.archive.org/web/20250401171809/https://www.youtube.com/@ateliedecosturadebolsas/videos) (scroll to the [end](https://res.cloudinary.com/dpszgzqjb/image/upload/v1743616479/imagination-archive-photo_iwca94.png)).
Then everything magically [disappears](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5JffhlWFck).

Do small channels like that just get randomly hacked, hijacked, and then sacked?
Interesting.
