#Google will start purging old accounts in December 2023. And worse, many #YouTube channels tied to inactive accounts will also be deleted too. Better start logging into your old accounts if you haven't already (and you'll get tracked too).

This could mean channels like #NCIX Tech Tips may be gone for good soon, so grab those videos (with yt-dlp, a fork of youtube-dl) while you still can:

There may be other channels that haven't been active in at least two years. If you know of any, please reply with some below.

Updating our inactive account policies

Starting later this year, we are updating our inactivity policy for Google Accounts to 2 years across our products.

I can understand them deleting old accounts, but deleting old content seems like a bad idea. If people are still searching for and watching something, then why delete it? Lots of other websites where they link to or embed these videos will be affected too.
