       A thing I didn't realize until it was pointed out to me: Google's upcoming policy of removing all the accounts that have been inactive for two years would wipe out lots, lots, and lots of old YouTube videos. I don't like hyperboles, but that would be a gigantic loss of media and resources.https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/updating-our-inactive-account-policies/

       Google says that they won't start deleting accounts before December, and it is possible that they may walk back, or amend their decision to make exceptions for YouTube content.But until anything official comes up, we should assume that millions of videos may get deleted by the end of the year.

       For the sake of completeness: Creator Liaison claimed on Twitter that accounts with YouTube videos will not be deleted: https://twitter.com/YouTubeLiaison/status/1658829489466384387 but this is far from an official answer, and the original Google post still mentions YouTube content as part of what is removed when an account is deleted
