You bring up some good points, PepsiMan.
Producing in PD and manually uploading to YT brings up the new YT upload screen in your browser, where you have to declare whether it's made for kids or not:
Meanwhile, while the upload feature is now working again, PD itself hasn't been updated, so there are no changes on that end to add the required info needed to upload newly produced videos to YT.
As a result, when you look at your clips in YT Studio, the Restrictions setting of new content directly uploaded from PD shows
None and you'll have to click on the pencil (Details) icon to manually change the setting:
Also note that the only 2 choices for Visibility when uploading videos directly from PD are
Public and
Private, whereas manually uploading videos allows you to choose
Unlisted, which is what most people think of when they say the video is "private."
Unlisted means that you can share the video's URL with anyone (like on this forum), but other people can't find it with a search or otherwise view it without the actual URL (link).
Private, on the other hand, is far more restrictive, and requires the publisher (you) to whitelist
every YT account that's allowed to view it. Even if you have the video's URL, you can't watch it
unless you're also logged in to an approved account.
That limitation right there is enough to keep me from using PD to directly upload content, since the vast majority of my nearly 1200 videos are Unlisted.
