so logged-out functionality will be returning? because if you're trying to tell me that oauth login is "more secure" than not-logged-in-at-all, thats's some obvious BS

None of this addresses why I need to log in at all now when I never did before. Unacceptable.

pretty much the *entire* value of ClearSky is seeing a view that is explicitly *not* filtered based on my identity as a viewer - requiring login for this is *at best* counterproductive!

Breaking your existing features to force people into new ones we don't want is pretty terrible

so we will, at some point in the future, be able to do all the same things we used to do again without login? otherwise this kinda sucks

It's actually a pretty terrible lubricant, it's just less bad at it than the grit you cleaned out with it

also because AIs get trained to solve the old puzzles, so they *do* actually have to keep changing them, but... yikes, not like this!

looking at only these two examples i almost wonder if they want you to pick a matching *drawing style*, since that's what stands out to me as obviously varied among the outputs... but that still leaves me quite puzzled on which ones would be "correct"!

it probably won't help that the migration seems to have lost the temporal history of my likes, so it thinks they're all brand new, but i'm sure that will work itself out over time, assuming i actually *can* discover new stuff here somehow...

yeah, the good news is the odds are the actual video bits are all still in there, they're just "framed wrong" in some way, and re-encoding will (usually) get it closer to spec and at the very least make the glitches more isolated
worst case you get another video that still doesn't work!

yeah, generally it's just a result of the *wild* diversity of encoding/decoding software, and the bugs contained therein - and those bugs change over time as some of them get patched as security issues

Sometimes a pass through ffmpeg to re-encode it will fix it, but of course that adds a generation
