You should probably have mentioned in the very beginning of the video that the private message feature has been removed entirely so you will have to contact them through other means.

I miss 2007 youtube.. everyone have their own customize channel and group, and now we can't even send messages 8(

I once thought youtube was the but google has destroyed it! I literally use it less and less. I loved the platform in 2000's. Direct messaging was great. Now we are flooded with spam advertising. Sometimes 3 per video. And it's getting
