I haven't paid too much attention to this story, but from what I gather someone has put forth the premise that due to the story on wired the other day about A paul spam bot a youtube video was pulled. You are asking, a slightly different question, if all recent videos have been pulled because when you sort a youtube video search out of most recent all videos are 2 days old?

If your question is that on sorting than I don't believe that the two are related. I have also noticed that most recent videos are atlesat one day old since summertime. I don't know why this is, but I just use ronpaulforums, dailypaul, along with the official site: ronpaul2008 for paul videos. I am subscribed to a few youtube channels to get the rest of the material I desire. To answer your question, no I do not think there is a relationship.

This Botnet stuff really sucks. What happens if these botnet fools spam the "A New Hope" video and get it removed? Or any other video that is awesome.

Sometimes the YouTube sort by "date added" stops working, for unknown reasons. My videos usually get 400+ views if they are indexed, but only around 100 if I release them when the site isn't updating. I don't know why it keeps breaking (it should be a simple database attribute), but it happens frequently.

Liveleak is a good site as well, I have found different videos not found on youtube.

you can search using google video and find the latest youtube videos....
