Maybe it is to maximize revenue. older videos are less profitable for google compared to newer ones .

so you're saying they're disabling the feature of "not being able to watch old videos" to maximize revenue?

Idk, but I’ve noticed that many old non-popular videos take time to load or seek. It seems they’re optimizing availability architecture wrt that.
