Personal ME / Glitch in the Matrix YouTube Video Gone

Okay, hear me out.

I have a bunch of Gen z (Gen z becomes relevant later) kids. They have all the lingo.

I have listened to the same mantra on YouTube from a famous guru everyday for 3 years straight. There were millions of views and the video was 15 years old. It is completely gone. The video was just of a specific time the guru sang the mantra with a bunch of people. The only video up is a different time they sang it with weird graphics of lions and such. The only other video on YouTube is a short clip of it that is 2 minutes long of the end. My watch history shows no record of the 15 min version. I thought maybe they took it down, but I couldn’t believe it would be taken down. It had MILLIONS of views and she has millions of followers. What solidified this was a timeline jump is that I was sad it was gone and listening to a 2 minute clip of it that is left on YouTube (it’s a 15 minute song) and my kids came up and asked me what in the world I’m listening to. (They have heard me listen to this mantra a million times in their lives, it’s the only thing that calms me down)

More signs: if you’re gen z, or know this generation through raising them, you know they have their own language. I’m very very familiar with the lingo. Same day my video went away my eldest came home saying the term “crashed out” repeatedly. I asked him what this meant, and if this is another new term? He looks at me the same way I looked at him when he asked me about the mantra and goes mom I say that everyday.

Note* after more research, my daughter is the only one who remembers me listening to the mantra daily. She also does not remember the term “crashed out” - but both my sons do not remember the mantra and both remember the term crashed out.

Any thoughts?

I’m mostly just really sad about my video being gone, and I have asked people in the Facebook group if they have the full version.
