Youtube playlist’s half-life

Marilyn Manson vs YoutubeMarc Cuban recently explained how making playlists in Youtube and then downloading them rivals Apple’s iTunes model for music and video downloads.

He’s right of course. I’ve done a few playlists myself with the same goal in mind. What was my surprise when I came back to one of these playlists 2 weeks later.

The playlist consisted of four songs by Marilyn Manson. That’s it. The first one played OK and then it hit the second one. No luck there – video removed. Same thing with the next and then next…

It turns out, my playlist lost an amazing 75% of tracks in a two-week period. So it’s either Gootube has stepped up their cleaning a hundred times, or they hate Marilyn Manson in particular.
