Problem Description

If a video has been removed by its uploader, clicking on said video will merely give a blank video page (empty video, upload date 31/12/1969, etc).
There is a tiny message that says something to the effect of "Invidious API Error: Video removed by uploader", but if you're not actively looking for it, then you likely won't see it before it disappears.

Proposed Solution

A page, not unlike the usual YouTube page, clearly stating "Video has been removed by uploader", and the video/channel name if it was saved (e.g if the video appeared in Trending).

Alternatives Considered

Make error messages persist if video did not load.
