      Hello Nick, it's me, Scott Oelkers, former CEO of Domino's Pizza Japan. I can tell you why the video was taken down from TH-cam, and why the app vanished as well. You'll have to shoot me a pm for the full story, but the short answer is: ants.
      Thank you for your support and have a nice day!

      I think it has to do with the amount of his videos, the TH-cam algorithm promotes channels with a certain amount of videos. So he probably didn't have enough videos to feed into the algorithm if you only have four videos and people see one video and don't have interest in any others TH-cam won't waste time recommending your channel or video to others, but if you keep producing high quality videos that keep people watching.... boom

      Yeah, but I think new viewers should feed into the algorithm for sure, obviously if new people are watching then that's a good reason to recommend, I wonder how the first person to view a video I wonder who that is. Maybe TH-cam has people who watch things and then based on their opinion they'll go from there, or maybe they choose people based on their profile to track and then recommend what they watch, and like kind of like a Nielsen family

      I had just watched that apartment video. Had to double check the dates and the channel. Makes me not feel sorry for the guy. Pretty douchey move if you ask me. Could have waited a bit to make it seem like he was struggling from the apartment.

      How is that "douchey" or unreasonable in the slightest? It shows that he cares about his community and channel.

    It's incredible how you can make some (apparently) silly questions, in Adventures!
    It's always incredible see you travel to Japan, explore, talk to people, until you discover what you were looking for! It's a bit like a videogame!
    Thanks Nick!

    I love how you make these seemingly ridiculous things so important and make me feel so immersed in a journey that I otherwise would have completely ignored, you sir, are a powerfully charismatic and intriguing being.
