My YouTube Watch Later Mystery Graveyard

    Two solutions I use to identify deleted/private videos in YouTube lists:

    1) googling the ID part of the video URL to get/guess the title at least

    2) https://web.archive.org/ (surprisingly it even has wholly archived videos for some URLs - random example: https://web.archive.org/web/20150111045309/https://www.youtu...)

      I hadn't thought to use the internet archive for this! From a quick check on a few of the unavailable videos on my list, it seems to work well.

      Thanks!
