I don’t know if it is because of Google taking over YouTube or what, but recently YouTube has been removing trailers from their website faster than I can link to them. The “Favourites” list at YouTube, which I use for pulling out some data, has also been very buggy recently, and it has therefore been impossible to really make use of that data.

Since the YouTube data has never really been that useful to begin with because the number of trailer views per movie is affected by a whole range of variables, I have decided to drop YouTube from the MovieSay buzz calculations altogether. While it was in a sense a hard decision to make, as dropping an information source is never easy, I believe that without YouTube the information on this website will be more accurate.
