After September, YouTube will no longer show the View Attributions page. This only applies to videos created in the old YouTube Video Editor that included CC-BY content.
In 2011 YouTube launched the option to add a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to your videos. Organizations like C-SPAN and Al Jazeera licensed their content.
Those CC BY-licensed videos were available in the old YouTube video editor. In the editor you could create new videos by combining the the licensed clips with your own video content.
When you created a new video that way, YouTube automatically added a "View Attributions" link in the video description. Clicking that link let people see information about the source videos.
It is that View Attributions link that is being retired, due to "limited usage".
Creators should add the attributions manually to the video description instead.
Since this version YouTube Video Editor was retired in 2017, this change only applies to older videos.
If you are not sure if you have affected videos, you can submit a form requesting that information.
