Housekeeping Announcement; Deleting Youtube Videos That Feature Reused Content

Time once again for a bit of housekeeping.  Go ahead and ignore this post if you're not interested.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've decided that I'm going to make it a goal to eventually monetize my Youtube channel.
One of the things I've picked up among the Youtube chatter is that channels that have reused content are frequently penalized or demonetized.  
All of the reused content on my channel is just me re-using myself, so I'm not sure if I have anything to worry about or not, but just to be safe, I decided to go ahead and delete all the reused content.

The reused content on my Youtube channel fell into 3 categories:
1) The past couple months, I've been remixing clips from my recent book reviews, and releasing them as Youtube shorts.
2) Last year, I took all the reviews that I had uploaded in multiple parts, edited together into a single file, and then uploaded that single file up onto Youtube as a separate video.
3). About 8 years ago, I reuploaded videos from my previous channels (dfcs and dfcs2) onto my main channel.

I've now deleted the reused content from all 3 categories.  
As a result of this, there are several old posts on this blog that now feature deleted videos.  I'll break them down as follows:

For category 1 (the Youtube shorts), I never posted them on this blog, so there's no effect to this blog.

For category 2, I posted those videos on this blog.  That now means that I have several old posts that feature a deleted video (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.)

For category 3, I posted some of those reuploaded videos on this blog as part of my Throwback Thursdays.  Throwback Thursday posts that now contain deleted videos are: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
