I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do, or how I'm supposed to manage my playlists without this feature.ДЎ. It is an essential feature that simply hasn't been sold to the public as well as it should have been. The Auto-Add feature should not be depreciated until the day that an updated feature with the minimum capabilities of the legacy feature is implemented into YouTube Studio. I genuinely hope, however, that someone will hear me on this. I cannot put pressure on YouTube like the larger channels can. I'm the owner of a small channel, doing my best to use the features that YouTube provides. I have no sway with the engineers at YouTube.

This seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy, and hugely defeatist. YouTube has told creators to embrace the changes, and not stick to the legacy pages, and then it depreciates the absolutely essential features that were not updated, because they now get less use. If the feature was showcased by YouTube, and integrated into the core Playlist implementation, it would see far more use than it does currently. Since the new YouTube Studio has been released, the Auto-Add feature has been relegated to the 'non-polymer' pages, and treated as Legacy. Many creators I have spoken to didn't know much, if anything about the feature, and once shown, they've all agreed that it saved them huge amounts of time, and effort, and record-keeping. I understand that the 'Auto Add' feature is less used than other features, but I feel that is largely because it hasn't been showcased. I cannot see that YouTube would expect their creators to stand this much tedium. This would be made far worse when batch-uploading videos. This would essentially eliminate many of the advantages of scheduling a video for release in the first place. Without this feature, as a Creator, I would have to be active on YouTube Studio as every video is scheduled to be published, to manually add the video to the correct playlist at the same second as its publication.

Without the ability to automatically add videos to playlists on their release, there is no way, currently, to trigger the addition of a video to a playlist once the scheduled video has been published.

Every single playlist I have ever created on YouTube has used this feature. I consider the Auto Add feature to be a Mission Critical feature of YouTube Studio, as essential as the ability to make playlists in the first place. For the last three years, every single video I have uploaded has made use of this feature, in order to make the video available in the correct playlist on the moment of it's release, after being scheduled. I'm writing to give feedback, and seek advice about your announcement that the 'Auto Add' feature for playlists has been depreciated.
