I realize Bitchute is a meme for how bad/behind the curve it is, but today I went back to look at the very first video I ever posted there, "My Little Active Shooter: Westborough Rocks":

The video is still listed on the site, you can go to it and click play but nothing happens. This is because it's still based on the old webtorrent structure that Bitchute used to use back in the day. On the frontend, the video just appears to load and hang forever. On the backend, it's trying to request video data from a webseed that I can only assume no longer exists:

This is a bit of a shame, since I lost my original copy of the video years ago in a hard drive crash, so that was the only version in existence and its now gone forever. I'm not bothered by it all that much, but it just goes to show that Bitchute isn't taking itself seriously at all. There's YouTube videos over a decade old that still work today, but a 6 year old video on Bitchute is irrevocably broken and the site won't even tell you that without you digging into a debug console. lol. lmao.
