It¹s still there. Lots of places picked up on it and it was pulled by
some. I have worked with a lot of tower climbers. Some are downright OCD
about safety (to the point that in itself is dangerous) to those who barely
wear a harness. My thing is you can¹t fall off the tower if you are tied to
it. Other things can go wrong but at least you have a chance.
The last part of that climb would need some special techniques to safely
do it as you can¹t hook off and be secure. In addition 2 people on the top
is kind of dumb. Too small of an area for 2 people. I assume he was up
there to do a lamp job. That does not take 2 people.
We always had a saying in the SOGs . Remember your weapon was made by
the lowest bidder. Same can be said about some towers.

Perhaps the guy is actually self employed. Still, I'd rather he used more
safety. Apparently the video was pulled because he was afraid he'd get
fewer future jobs from showing a lack of safety.
