I can't see tags on youtube videos anymore, could youtube have actually removed them, and what effect will this have?

You can still get the data through the API:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO-ID?v=2
Replace VIDEO-ID, open the downloaded file with notepad, the tags will be between <media:keywords> and </media:keywords>

We have to use the API for getting tags? Does it work?

The other way isn't as easy and the API method would be the next best thing...

Here is another guy who said:
"AS FROM YOUTUBE FORUM POSTED BY YOUTUBE STAFF - This isn't a bug. We removed tags from the watch page, since we were finding that folks weren't clicking on them too often and they presented an opportunity for some for abuse (by copying tags in order to manipulate our discovery systems). When you upload a video or edit an uploaded video, tags can still be set, and they still aid the discovery of your videos just like they always have. The only difference is they don't show up on the video page."

The api link isn't working but I found if you view page source you can still see some of the tags being used...

Use the red part from your video link to replace VIDEO-ID in the API url and don't state that youtube API doesn't work anymore
