Mashable reports:
YouTube viewers have noticed a new “video unavailable” message:
“This video is popular!” reads the warning, blocking viewers from watching the YouTube video. “Due to limited creator history, we’re limiting the number of viewers. Subscribe to this channel to help this creator reach a broader audience.”
