content: Account Deleted By User Youtube has always been quirky on Linux, but for the most part it has always worked with a bare minimum of manual codec installation. Seems like to run it on this machine, I'd have to install Chrome, which I am not going to do because I no longer believe Google is an Ethical organization. Assuming Youtube is competent, then, the only conclusion I can arrive at is this is a type of backdoor anti-competitive practice that soulless for-profit monsters like Youtube engage in due to their inability to understand right and wrong.
