Why Can't I See My Favorite YouTube Video? Episode #CCXII The Doctor of Digital™ GMick Smith, PhD

Published: Feb. 23, 2022, 9:20 p.m.

YouTube's limiting views on some videos. Here's why.

No, it has nothing to do with the anti-vaccine mandate trucker convoy.

"Video unavailable."

It's always a bummer when you click through a YouTube link and see that message. Sometimes this means the video has been deleted. Other times it means the user changed the video's settings to make it private.

“This video is popular!" reads the warning, blocking viewers from watching the YouTube video.

"Due to limited creator history, we’re limiting the number of viewers. Subscribe to this channel to help this creator reach a broader audience."

One of those guardrails is to limit viewers on mobile livestreams hosted on small channels in order to prevent abuse and limit those who seek to quickly spread harmful content. The policy is broad and effects the whole platform, meaning, even if a particular stream isn't abusive or spreading harmful content, this message will appear if they have less than 1,000 subs.
