I notice on occasion that publishers reencode their movies because there was some mistake. That in itself is fine, mistakes happen and if they're there obviously they have to be corrected, but when replacing YouTube links to TASVideosChannel, the previous video remains up on the channel. This can lead to there being quite a bit of redundancy. On one occasion I literally had to send a list of over a dozen videos to Nach of redundant encodes over the course of a few weeks. Over a third of the default "latest uploads" feed consisted of duplicate movies. This is a big mess when you're trying to browse the latest TAS videos on the YouTube channel or even just checking the subscriber feed on occasion. So I'd like to point out to encoders/publishers this page: Wiki: SystemTVCControl On it, encoders can modify the YouTube encodes on TVC they have encoded. There is no delete option (yet), but there is an option to edit and unlist your movies. So I'd like to say, please, as the title says, for the sake of organization and cleanliness, if you replace a YouTube encode, remove the original from (public view of) TASVideosChannel.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

As in, we should unlist all the N/A's unless it's something actually used. Right? The only 2 that are used are the AGDQ 2014 videos. Since the vids are still up, I believe we can safely unlist all N/A's in a row. Oh, I see a way to check the encodes we're sure should be deleted. Nice. EDIT: The vids that aren't used in publications are in fact unlisted (with a few manual exceptions), despite the TVCControl note. Check yourself.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
