FYI
After Sept. 18, you’ll no longer be able to send or receive direct messages on YouTube as we focus our efforts on public convo tools (comments, posts, etc).
You can still share what you’re watching w/ others via the Share icon below videos.

So, I would lose history of this private chats with my friends and everything (texts and videos) we shared between us in it, I suppose?
