YouTube Private Videos Creation Sucks

[icecream]

I checked my horde of YouTube music link bookmarks to remove the ones that no longer work before sending another email for transferring to my new computer when I get it. There were a few that predictably had been removed because of copyright claims, including Weird Al's Ebay parody (yet every other bookmark of his was still available). And the videos that were not available anymore, worst losses being Cathie Herrop's version of Mary of Dungloe. I would love any CDs she created, but they are sadly really scarce. The Doctor and Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Voyager) covering You Are My Sunshine was one of my favorites, it is gone as well as the good Dolly Parton cover of Travelin' Prayer. (Her cover of The Entertainer is still there though). But something I was not expecting, several videos that I could originally see are now private and you have to sign in to prove you have access. The one private video that says you have to be a certain age to see it is the historically accurate version of We Didn't Start the Fire. I am not creating an account, will never agree to their no ad blocker terms as they prevent so many viruses. And I am certainly not paying for an expensive package, until a few years ago everything was available for free. Greedy company that was already worth millions.
