Dude, Where is my video?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #dtube4 years ago

So I was away for a while and when I finally took the trouble to check back, I noticed one appalling thing: My old video had disappeared from DTube :( Yes, somehow I can't find that video on my #DTube channel anymore, the channel is now empty as if I've never uploaded that video. And if I try to use the old link - it says that "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported".

And it's not so much about the #video (which had long become irrelevant) but the very fact that it was gone. The reason I chose #DTube is primarily because it advertised itself as a #censorship resistant platform, which can not and does not ban channels or delete #videos. And then, suddenly, the video is gone. What happened? Could there be an expiry date I wasn't aware of? Or maybe it's because of inactivity? Because I hadn't uploaded anything or hadn't log in for months? Because the video itself had not been viewed for months? Or maybe it was a glitch on DTube, an overhaul of some sort that resulted in some (or all) previously uploaded videos being #deleted?

What happened? Any ideas?

Thanks.
