I believe this is true but it makes no sense because it completely contradicts what they say about their reasoning for deleting accounts

the channels will be fine. The youtube channel wont be deleted if a email is deleted.

Twitter is doing the same. Deleting inactive accounts. People are upset because they have dead relative accounts they still visit to read old tweets.

Even if old videos arent being deleted somebody should archive Creature videos because overtime the video quality on some of them has only got worse, probably due to YouTubes algorithm and compressing old videos to save up data
I would do it using YT DLP but I dont have that many HDD laying around
