YouTube limits access to videos that are neither illegal, nor violate their own Terms and Conditions or Community Guidelines.
"Limited state" videos are placed behind a warning message, cannot be shared, monetized or easily found, and have likes, comments, view counts and suggested videos disabled.
YouTube removes videos that violate their ever-changing and arbitrarily enforced Community Guidelines, while Creators increasingly "self-censor" trying to avoid channel strikes and terminations.
altCensored.com is an unbiased community catalog of 274702 limited state, removed, and self-censored YouTube videos across 13169 monitored channels, of which 2930 have been deleted and 3392 are being archived in case of deletion.
Find videos and channels using the search bar. Download videos with "right mouse button click" inside the video window or use the "Download Torrent" link. Channel and Video RSS Feeds ( ) contain torrent links to easily download multiple videos. Embed videos in any website exactly like YouTube.
