BOISE, Idaho — A minor confrontation broke out at the controversial “Hetero Awesome Fest” on Saturday when a protester took the stage and began singing a pro-LGBTQ+ song before being removed.
According to several livestreams of the event, including those from Old Street Saloon, the incident occurred during the two-day festival held on June 20-21 in Cecil D. Andrus Park, directly across from the Idaho State Capitol. Mark Fitzpatrick, owner of the Old State Saloon and organizer of the event, rushed the stage and took the microphone from the man after about a minute of singing.
If I were to guess, it’s because they don’t wanna deal with hosting global amounts of video traffic, so for international links, it just forwards it to YouTube, which is much better suited for that.
Then it would be US only. But it works for example with Switzerland (non-EU).
Not necessarily. They can have a redirect link without necessarily blocking the original link. There are ways to redirect traffic based on where it’s from it doesn’t mean it becomes impossible to access that source directly.
