Seems to be removing videos too? That's gonna be a pain.

As far as I can tell they're just flagging them as unlisted, at least for now ...

Videos are hidden for the public if you search on YouTube you can't still watch the videos.

Live streams are now disabled. SO someone is taking action. nvm.

 

 

Also yes they're being unlisted. Even if they were deleted considering previous incidents and how youtube handled them there is a likely high chance it would have been returned to its original state by youtube.

luckily they only unlisted the videos and didnt fully delete them, so LTT can still get all their videos back

Seems like something happened. Its showing they arent online now and the lives are gone. Hopefully Linus got control back or is attempting to.

Can confirm, seeing the channel name, identifiers etc all changed over.


Presumably someone in LTT has noticed and told Linus and is on the phone to their Youtube rep already

Unlisting seems to be what they're doing, I have an unrefreshed version of the page from before they started wiping them and can still load videos, playlists also exist.

i just tried, it doesnt say its taken, it just says its unavailable, prolly youtube made it bound to his account

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Note: My advice is amateur help/beginner troubleshooting, someone else can probably troubleshoot way better than me.

- I do have some experience, and I can use google pretty well. - Feel free to quote me I may respond soon.
