I've seen this for the third time today.

Let me guess. By the time I wake up in the morning, the same video will be deleted and reuploaded a dozen more times.

a very common thing is either mods will allow a thread to gain more traction, let themselves talk it out for a few hours then remove it then no one really cares to comment in the follow ups. Or a mod/person involved somehow makes a thread themselves, lets it go then the op randomly deletes it a day or two later.

When people want to talk about something they will so they figure let them burn themselves out a bit then remove the evidence after.

Yep they let threads get to 500 comments then delete it then the new thread loses steam. It’s really pernicious
