Just to be clear, YouTube is clearly a very pragmatic way to make the
RacketCon videos most accessible to people, and I'm very glad it's done.
Many people will stream the videos through YouTube, and (thanks to
"youtube-dl.org") it's currently also an easy way to distribute the data
to various offline copies people make.
Those offline copies might be for watching on trains and airplanes, for
being accessible to people who don't normally have high-speed Internet
access, for archiving in advance of the day that the dotcom alters the
agreement, for finding on-principle ways to view without n different
kinds of corporate spying and control and shoddiness going on[*], and...
for indoctrinating captive houseguests in the teachings of Racketism,
when they discover the TV can't screencast or play anything else
(muahahaha).
[*] Seriously, CS people should learn about the current extent and
impact of this (unless you are actively studying it, it's almost
certainly much worse than you think), and take an on-principle stand
against it, while we still can. Understanding it should be part of
basic education about technology&society, and there should be a more
detailed technical treatment for preparing STEM students for industry.
