It could be related to CDN cache - it takes some time (few minutes or so) to propagate content over all CDN nodes. Refreshing web page in a browser could help.

For sure! I figure if I can get them public at the same time, it makes things smoother for people looking for them. Let me know if there's any different or better way you prefer me handling the youtube stuff though, I am not sure how my method appears to people subscribed to the channel.
