This great (mini) YouTube documentary gives some background what lead up to the lawsuit. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4)

Despite how fucking shitty YouTube has gotten, it's content like this that could never be available anywhere else on the Internet today for free.

Why is YouTube "fucking shitty"? And why then if it were so that this content could never be available anywhere else (since _any_ storage cloud service could host it)? I think your answers to the second will counteract the first

Seconded. That is excellent piece of work; some of the best journalism I've seen in years.

The video makes some good points, but overall it’s very repetitive. Just count how many times the shot of the manual with “call a service technician” is used, always with similar narration, or the one of the finances of the company who make 25% of their revenue with parts and service.

This could have easily been a 5 minute video. Also, it does not offer any explanation why McDonalds is the only customer of the Taylor brand machines with this issue. Burger King is also “an old company”, why doesn’t it apply to them?

McDonald's machines are custom manufactured for them by Taylor. It's not surprising that other places don't have the same issues.

That gives a huge amount of context, thanks! Here's where Kytch is mentioned specifically https://youtu.be/SrDEtSlqJC4?t=1379
