I think it has to do with music licensing, which has been a constant challenge for them in the streaming era. Both performances and skits that rely on licensed music are problematic for international markets; a lot of time the original song in a skit will get changed for streaming or syndication.

Bugs me that I can't see the Your Love / Josh Hutcherson sketch on YT because of licensing issues.

Lol, I didn't even know about this sketch. Plus I love "Your Love". It's on tiktok

Yeah that's where I typically find it but I don't use Tiktok so I have to sit through all of that platform's desperate pleas to sign up before I can watch it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
