Actually, it is entirely the point. If the rules prevent victimhood, then why would you have a problem with it?

No; They have opted for their videos to not be discoverable via YouTube's search results or through the video listings on their channel. They haven't opted their videos to be private, and in the case of most celebrities, bands, companies etc with unlisted videos, they make their videos discoverable through other means e.g. Twitter, Facebook, their websites, hidden Easter eggs (e.g. QR codes, links etc) in their listed videos etc.

If your own personal videos are irrelevant, then why did you even mention them in an earlier post? By mentioning that you had unlisted videos but not providing any details, it meant that your earlier post was emotive rather than argumentative (and therefore not the least bit convincing). Without providing any examples, you failed to show that a video could fall within the submission rules but would be to the detriment of the video owner.
