    What's with this "private" Youtube screen?

    Hello,
    I've been watching Youtube videos for a long time, since there is a lot of good music on Youtube. Today, I clicked on a Youtube that I've watched several times before, and this time, I got a message saying that it was a "private Youtube video" and that I didn't have permission to open it.
    Have any of you had this happen? Is this something new?

    It isn't anything new. I have a private YouTube channel that I can control access to. Had it for at least four years. Why you saw a link to something on a private channel -- that I cannot explain.

    If you only took one trip to the hardware store, you didn't do it right.

    The owner edited the access. Maybe he got comments he didn't like or whatever but he / she may have edited it to "private". All it takes is a click of the mouse.

    I didn't see a link to it. I'd been playing that Youtube video for some time, and I had put it in my favorites file. Then, when I went back to it, it was marked private.
