Just like the Faastwalker video was around for years. Seems like they're just posting old stuff that people may have not seen before.

I wonder if they asked “permission” first before posting these videos. Most likely not.

Actually, my guess is yes they did. If you watch the original video on Ian Sklarsky's vimeo, there is a blast of noise or feedback at the very beginning of the video that doesn't exist in the copy on the BoC page. So the video's been edited somewhat. Also, the original video doesn't reference the music at all - so the video's basically been renamed on the BoC page from "Shot from the Air: selections of flight footage" to "Boards of Canada - Heard From Telegraph Lines - From the Trans Canada Highway EP on Warp Records (2006)."

They obviously credit Ian, which he did not do for Boards on the original, but I think it's professional courtesy to say "hey, we love your video, do you mind if we post it to our page?"

The likes they do, then, *could* have a bit of meaning - moreso than FB - as we wouldn't see those tweets unless they liked them, correct? If it were a hashtag, we could all view the tweets via the hashtag, but any "@"'s would have to be liked for us to see them?

Correct. Everything under the 'Likes' panel is something they've consciously interacted with, and I believe Twitter is the only platform to have a section dedicated to this.

Is it just me or does this "blue dot appearing for seemingly no reason" only happen on BoC-affiliated youtube pages? I've not seen this happen on any of my other subscriptions without new content.

Your fine during times like this are 10's of pages of content to sift through if you're away too long!

One of many cases on how this form needs to evolve to a new platform. It can't keep up with the volume of conversations happening simultaneously.
Of these almost 800 pages, I wonder how many are repeats of previous conversations?

Unrelated, but someone was asking about an audio only version of todays video post.
You should be able to listen to it here:

lol don't trust the dots. We've already established it's a YT bug, but of course it's so easy to lose track of info like this.

If you like fast paced discussions we have the Discord chat. but don't go after midnight, we get silly.
