That is absolutely horrible what the fuck? That would delete like 90% of their library. It would erase pretty much every classic video from 2006.-2012 Why are they trying to follow Musk's twitter direction? Even Musk says he's gong to archive old tweets. If it's only the currently active within 2 year channels left it might as well be Tiktok at that point. This would be the best possible time for a competitor to swoop in.
Best I can hope for is maybe they're not going to target accounts with videos or significant content in their accounts.

It says "may." Google isn't going to shoot themselves in the foot and delete videos people are still watching. That's good ad revenue. This is likely for dead accounts with dead videos that nobody watches that have been sitting there for years.
