Well, I'd say you're already well on your way to exploring the mysterious, puzzling, and downright weird although probably not the way you thought you'd start out.

When I realized some of my favorite youtube channels had literally vanished without a trace I had a bit of a strange out of body feeling as well, and I was only a consumer of content over there. It was very disconcerting. Much as I strive to be free of regrets, I do regret not at least commenting on my favorite creators postings just to thank them for their efforts.

Fortunately, having some experience with out of the body experiences, I know to just breathe and let go. It's a very big universe out there, and sometimes I feel small. There can be a real freedom in that, odd as it might sound.

Maybe it's my imagination, but the whole thing seems oddly synchronistic.

For me, (I say that all the time now and I'm quoting you every time I do it LOL) the net result of the youtube purge (and the ongoing censorship issues for those that remain) is that now I am more likely to engage, and who knows, I might even become a creator myself. Or not. Either way, I take what I can away from it and move forward. It's the rational thing to do.
