Please indicate clearly if you will delete Youtube videos under this policy if they are sitting on many, many views, or are linked heavily. Because if so, the YouTubepocalypse is here.

When I'm brought in as the "deletion consultant" for youtube when Google finally hits the upper limit for disk space, I'm going to probably say to delete anything with "reaction video" in the title.

Google is a Library the same way a Supermarket is a Food Museum. It should be treated as a pleasant/easy distribution point for videos, but they shift their rules and make choices with no input from the world. Today it's the loss of many Unlisted videos. Tomorrow?

Looks like YouTube content for these accounts are at risk. Rally the Archive troops?

Say goodbye to Aussie50’s backyard tinkering and washing machine shenanigans videos. He took his own life a few years ago and we don’t know if anyone else has access to his account.

Interesting that they use 'weak security' as a cover story for why they need to delete everything. Because traditionally, you deal with insecure credentials by expiring them and forcing the owner into a potentially tedious account recovery process, or freezing the account.

Say goodbye to all legacy and memorialized account videos then. Don't let Google follow in Yahoo's footsteps of obliterating internet history
This could have a profound impact on IMG harvesting, . A lot of history and cyber videos on the internet gone forever.
