This morning, a user on Reddit pointed out that the ‘EveryAppleVideo’ YouTube channel has been taken down. Visiting the channel page takes you to an empty channel under a banner reading ‘This channel was closed and is no longer available.’ without any additional explanation.
The channel was well known for its collection of over a thousand Apple ads, keynotes, and other videos dating back to the 1980s. It was basically the ultimate archive of every Apple video that ever existed.
One possibility is the channel was taken down over copyright issues considering the videos all originated from Apple. However, it is still possible that the owner received external complaints about copyright violations and proactively removed content from the channel.

Almost guaranteed the channel received a C&D letter from Apple, seeing it didn’t contain any original content, and nothing but copyright material. Just surprised it wasn’t taken down sooner.
Might all show up on Apple TV.
Apple doesn’t want to remind people how innovative they used to be 😉 But honestly, I’m sick of hearing news of what Apple is taking away now. Taking away the headphone jack, taking away the esc key, taking away the MagSafe port and now taking away a fan channel to their ads. They should change their logo to a close-up of the bite taken out of the apple.
