Why is an episode missing from clip suggestions?

Some YouTube videos carry limits set by their uploader: they can be blocked from playing outside YouTube, limited to certain countries, or removed from YouTube entirely. A clip can't be previewed or rendered from a video YouTube refuses to serve, so Clips and Thumbs Maker leaves those episodes out of Suggested clips instead of offering a clip that would fail.

Photo-only Instagram and TikTok posts are also left out, since they have no video or audio to cut. The episodes themselves stay on your sites either way.
