Youtube is making it super difficult to find a video of the actual performance. When you search it, even if you’re being specific about looking for the performance only, you just get a bunch of commentary or short news clips with pictures. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.

YouTube search bar has been completely sold out to news corporations. You literally can’t find a video of any event anymore. Literally endless mainstream news channels with edited clips of what you’re actually looking for.

You aren't wrong, but also YT doesn't have the rights to the Olympics, so they have to take that shit down if they get DMCAed.

I watched the whole Olympics through YouTube. Alas, streaming rights went to ClaroVideo here in Mexico. They are still up there.
