Ok, if you are wondering what are the max chars allowed for the title, desc and tag fields on youtube then read this.

Title - Max 100 bytes
Description - Max 5000 bytes
Tags - Max 500 bytes
Maximum length for a multiword tag is 30 bytes (quotes and spaces are counted).

So what the hell is a byte ?
One byte = 1 character (a, b, c, 1, !, etc)

Enjoy and don't abuse this info. It just good to know how far you can go

next time, ensure the title of the thread reflects the contents... it was too general.
