The last reason is the case with most everyone, because this has been happening long before this major YouTube drama.

But that still doesn't change the fact that it's kinda dumb to take your own music down if people have expressed that they enjoy it. It might not be a jerk move, but it definitely comes across as one to many people, and an alternative plan of action would be better in the end.

Yeah, I definitely get the reasons why certain people choose to remove a song/ songs from YouTube. My biggest thing wasn't why the music was taken down but who. Guess it's the whole, "you don't know what you have until it's gone. I looked at all the artists I subscribed to and they're music is all intact. So either this was A) several songs/ videos by different artists or B) an artist that removed several songs. Since YouTube bypasses Deleted songs, I may have not known about them being gone for months!

And I thank you ToothpasteThy for those links, but none of the songs there I remember being ones I had and now are off my Favorites list. Guess this will remain a mystery.

I always save music I like, using clipconverter.cc if the option to download the song is not available.
