17:58:01 <Ott> YouTube is making all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 private. Many derelict channels have unlisted videos only accessible through annotations or other links. Is this a current project?
18:02:52 <JAA> Yeah, we heard about that, though official confirmation appears to be missing so far. In any case, #down-the-tube and #youtubearchive are the relevant channels; the former for a planned project that would go into the Wayback Machine, the latter for straight video file archival.
18:04:29 <JAA> Nevermind, the rumours have been confirmed: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9230970
