The ability to re-upload a video without it losing the URL. This means if you made a mistake it can be corrected. Vimeo does this don’t understand why YouTube doesn’t implement this feature.

There's so many ways people could take advantage of this in terrible ways. That said, it seems like it could be a feature that gets unlocked if you meet certain criteria, channel age, monetization, copyright claims etc

  100% on these! Some % threshold changed would be reasonable. And definitely replacing an unlisted video before it goes public seems fine! I was mainly pointing out that it's not as simple as people might think at first.

  It's not that I underestimate what people can do but like you said yourself, a feature that can be unlocked or also maybe a ratio that states only 10% can be modified which is really what us creators are asking since most mistakes can be fixed with a 5-10 second edit.

  I agree it’s a solvable problem. YouTube scans every frame and every note. They can easily compare old to new, permit xx% change, permit change based on channel history, flag for human review questionable changes. And let us at LEAST change the video before it’s ever been public.

  I think you might underestimate the creativeness of people acting in bad faith on youtube. I agree it would be a great feature for legitimate creators, but unfortunately we have to consider the ways people would take advantage of it too.

  Not really, they could show a tab that displays the history of all the edits. People can go back and watch to see what changed and in turn add more watch time benefiting the algorithm.
