Currently we're not allowed to delete. Youtube lets us delete. In that way youtube works differently; that's what I was referring to.

Sounds like on the "rights" front, youtube works a lot closer to what I was suggesting in my post in the first place. People who are already using an asset in their scene can still use it with no problem whatsoever. But we can limit access for new people. That's the main idea.

The case that's most common where people want to un-remixable something is where they accidentally/intentionally/are forced to publish it as remixable and almost immediately want to undo it. In such situations it's normally very very unlikely anyone has started using it anyway, and would affect 0% of anything for anyone but the owner's own peace of mind. And for the slim chances someone has started using an asset, they would be unaffected. That's whole point of this post.

This isn't just about remixable stuff either; there's also the side of publishing as "playable" which is also currently not undo-able. And gives no "rights" to anyone whatsoever. This suggestion would apply to that also.

Something that's interesting regarding this is, publishing a scene or dream as "playable" used to mean anyone could import it into their dream and use it. You might put it that publishing as "playable" gave people the "right" to include that scene in their dream. Mm changed how that works, so that now you can only do that if you're a collaborator on the creation, or you're importing a remixable scene. They changed the "rights" that everyone has to be able to use those playable creations, for the benefit and protection of creators. If I recall, dreams that already had other people's playable scenes/dreams in them weren't affected and they still ran just fine.

That is a very similar change to the kind of change I'm proposing here.
