Ask HN: Has YouTube instituted playlist length limits

1 points by pyuser583 ↗ HN
I’m getting errors from youtube about the length of my private playlists. Never happened before.

Is this new? Is this a technical issue? Or a product redesign?

I saw a meme this morning about youtube playlist lengths, but I'm too lazy to find it.

It was in the format where Satan says "I trust my child, he will not make long playlists!" and then Jesus' speech bubble just has a screenshot of a 493 hour long playlist.

The existence of this meme suggests someone else also thought about this, which probably means something happened. I don't know. I'm just too lazy to investigate further.

Lol ok thank you.

The playlist I’ve been adding to is quite certainly over 493 hours long.
