They have so little respect that they don't even at least leave the title of the video

Just completely obliterate it, gone forever.

You can sometimes figure out the video by using various search engines and the link, or the video ID.

A little detective work and you got it.

Its even worse when it's your "to watch later" list and you just see a bunch of hidden videos. What the hell does hidden video even mean?

It means the creator made it only available to certain people. Usually, it means they caught a lot of flak for the content.

I hate when I go to my likes and I see a pop-up that says videos that are unavailable are hidden because that means something got deleted and I don't know what the fuck it is to go find it again

It could also be an older unlisted video that Google automatically hid when they made that change a few years ago.

I've heard this sentence before but I'm not sure what it means? What does unlisted mean and what did Google do years ago?

A video that is unlisted means that it can only be accessed if the person has the url to the video. This is in contrast to a video that has been made private, which means that only a select few individuals chosen by the video creator can see it.

A few years ago, Google made it so that all hidden videos made before a certain date (I believe the cutoff was the year 2017) would automatically be made into a private video, unless the uploader changed it back themselves. This means that many older hidden videos whose creators are no longer around are no longer available on the site.

Damn. But I been wondering, are they still technically available on Google's server, or are they stricken from the record forever?

This is extremely relatable

Maybe I should start using my browser's bookmark system instead of Youtube's built-in bookmark features

They're still on the servers, at least for now, but for any potential viewers, they're effectively gone forever unless the uploader happens to log in to change it. And that assumes that they still have access to the account, haven't completely lost interest in the site, or are still alive or in good health to do so.

This. I have to take full-page screenshots of my playlists whenever I change them so if something gets deleted later I can compare the current list with the screenshot to find out what was actually deleted.
