Perhaps it’s just my imagination (related). 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 engagement politics. The commenters (English) never seemed to have gotten the context that it’s a channel in Portuguese about bags (scroll to the end). Then everything magically disappears.
Do small channels like that just get randomly hacked, hijacked, and then sacked? Interesting.
