I got in to major hot water twice in the past for doing that -- one incident was about 8 years ago and another probably 15 years ago, so apparently attitudes have changed with the new technology. Obviously you can't control what some other team puts up on Youtube, but you can still limit the amount of games readily available by taking down your home games. I'm often asked to remove my streamed games at the end of the regular season so they can't be used for Region or State foes.
Considering it takes more effort to remove a game from Youtube than it does to just leave it, there must be SOME reason why some teams take them down. I remember teams using NFHS a couple of years ago that would take their videos off right after the game and indicate that they would be available again at the end of the season.
Region 1 is supposed to all use and share their video on Hudl...so region coaches would have access of it from either team (if both videoed). There is plenty of sharing of video statewide; in most cases a coach would go scout on an open night but can't do that now because of the pandemic attendance rules in place.
