I'm also really upset about the removal of free skate videos on youtube.
If they were worried about copyright, they should at least upload the videos in their own channel or create a channel for skating videos so that fans and non-fans can stream competition vids.
This is an era of digital content. People are switching from television to internet to consume content.
I think that they're losing a lot, money and viewers, by not having fs videos on the internet at a time when figure skating is "dying" as a sport.
To this day, I still cannot find any video of Evgenia's Pyeongchang free skate or Alina's short program. Yuna's Gershwin with 8M+ views was also deleted. I mean come on. They're not helping themselves by worrying about a few pennies lost on copyright. They're sacrificing a bigger opportunity by being stingy on content.
ETA:
If people know how amazing fs is through online videos, they will come to shows, to competitions to watch live.
It will eventually help fill those empty seats at competitions.
That's how I was converted and eventually driven to watch the Olympics live on another country.
