I am also not finding where I read but I read it. As far as I understood then , playlist are gonna be there but to minimize space , they are removing options like " notes, description , etc" . Others correct me if I am wrong.

I don't want the playlists to go away because I organize my videos in different playlists based upon the categories of videos and specific topics they are about.

What do you mean exactly by that they are getting rid of the notes, description etc? Does that just mean we won't be able to write a description for what each playlist is about?

I remember seeing something about "series playlists" or "official series playlists" which is a very underused feature apparently being removed, I do know they mentioned it very breifly, as did Nick Nimmin, but I haven't heard much about it since, so part of me thinks they may have backflipped on that plan as it's no longer mentioned as part of the "Features" they'll be removing due to "limited usage"

There was a LOT of backlash to that, along with community captions being removed, so there's a chance they may be re-thinking the plans to abandon it.

That said, playlists is still part of studio classic, and as they move playlists to the new studio (like they did with the music library) they simply might not move everything about playlists over and simply not tell us about it.

There's no way they'd remove the basic elements of playlists. They were just suggesting they'd be removing "series" playlists.
