What happened to youtubers' figure skating commentary

[Bluediamonds09]

What happened to Kiki the Red Panda, I Love Skating, and Patrick commentates Skating, and other youtubers who posted videos on the state of figure skating? They brought us news, and sometimes even added clips from instagram and tiktok (a blessing for those of us not on social media!) But no activity nowadays.

Probably copyright issues or something of that nature.

I think maybe Patricks content is on Patreon

TSL is good.

Ugh. I won’t watch it.

TSL is good.

TSL is pretty iffy. They bring deep information a lot of the time, but they tend to overly pick on skaters and ramble about various topics too much. I think they are just looking for long, dramatic, and continuous content. I think it tends to be a bit much.

Test (I can't post on Fan Fest).

Reviving this old thread lol. I am wondering if they stopped due to copyright issues like someone said earlier. My channel got slammed with copyright strikes for including clips from Nebelhorn on my commentary. It makes it less exciting to make commentary videos of just photos. I don’t know how Paola is able to include so many videos in hers.

My guess is that it would be copyright issues.

If you search YouTube, you’ll notice that it’s a lot harder to find videos of events than it was a few years ago. I remember when trying to find videos for the GS Media Library I could find a video of the skater from a small federation who placed last at some random challenger in like 2014. Now? You’ll be lucky to find videos of the top 10 in some cases.

There are other places to post video that aren't as strict, Dailymotion might be one.
