He explains why it’s unlisted in the first few minutes. Basically, he knows it’s too long for the regular viewer, and plans to release a condensed version later. But for the people who may be interested in a deep dive, he made the much longer unlisted version where he has the freedom to ramble and fully explain things.

As for why it’s unlisted, it’s probably so he doesn’t get dinged by the YouTube algorithm for incomplete views. If the algorithm sees that his regular viewers are only watching the first 5 minutes of his hour long video, it’ll stop recommending his videos to them. Unlisting the video is an easy way to get around that, because only the people who are interested in it will seek it out.

Strange! It wasn't unlisted yesterday when I posted it. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by spater.

Sorry that was autocorrect. Meant to say "patreon preview" funny because später in german means "later" which is when I did watch the video "later" :)

Think I'll wait until it becomes public, possible that it was supposed to be unlisted for patreon members, and I respect him enough to respect that exclusivity. Great channel if anyone hasn't seen him!

Is that how they do Patreon exclusive releases? Just posting an unlisted video and giving out the URL to subscribers?

That's what I've seen in the past, but I'm not certain that's standard. But there's another comment on the thread explaining it, so I shot myself in the foot by not watching as it's explained in the video!
