![<strong>This Friday, July 23, 2021, YouTube is automatically Privating all Unlisted Videos and Playlists dated before January 1, 2017. Private means a video can only be shared by the uploader to only 50 YouTube accounts at a time.</strong> Individual channels can chose opt-out, but only between June 23 (the date of YouTube's announcement) and July 23— just one month. After that, it's either keep it Private, or it must be manually made it Public, or re-uploaded as Unlisted.

A cropped version of my original image (for use in the event if original is too tall):

![On Friday, July 23, 2021, <strong>all Unlisted Videos and Unlisted Playlists which were uploaded or created before January 1, 2017, will automatically become Private, thus they will no longer be publicly accessible (whether you have an account on YouTube or not)</strong>.
Channels have until July 23 to opt-out their content from this change, but it would be a prudent measure to act now under the assumption that your favorite channels will not opt-out (regardless of whether said channels are long dead, or still uploading new content). So get youtube-dl or something and go to town!!
<strong>Anyone may share and distribute this image as they see fit!<strong>
If you didn't get this message in time, in all fairness, YouTube only gave the Internet 1 month advanced notice and failed to conspicuously advertise this change, so I don't blame you. I only heard about it yesterday, and I'm furious.
