Here is the note I posted for help in the YT Creator Forum..... since I can't find a way to contact YouTube and my earlier support email no longer gets delivered.
Why are my videos disappearing off my YouTube channel?
I have published 1,181 as shown in my channel "about" info.
My content showed 769 earlier today then 716 an hour ago and right now it says there are just 709.This is terrible. It appears I have lost about 472 of my videos and more are disappearing every hour. They are all my copyright and my content.

I will update here if I learn anything.
My about info says 743 videos but only shows 586 in my content
I discovered that if I set the showing per page to 50 and scroll through 24 pages the number begins to climb up. Toward the end it climbed all the way to 1193. Makes no sense and I am still missing at least one video and I suspect more.
Yesterday I had occasion to search up a couple videos I posted of my Baker Monitor (ball hopper). They are still no where to be found.
There have been other videos that I know have also disappeared.
I just didn't attempt to do anything about it at the time.
