When I go through my YouTube favorites playlist, about a third of them are now removed. I’ve been adding things to it for over a decade. If there’s something you might possibly want to watch again in the future, download it. Bit rot is a real thing.
But at least YouTube tells you something was removed, although I do wish they would tell you what it was which was removed. I was an active google music user for the life of the service (RIP) and sometimes I would have a vague thought that it felt like my playlist was missing something but they never actually told you. It was infuriating.
The cloud is ephemeral, do not rely on it.

- hombre_fatal 6y agoExactly. At least tell me the dang title so I can find a replacement. Sad how many of my old song playlists, listened in a much different era of my life, are deleted and I’ll never remember what they were.
