Update 14/01/2019 - BACK UP YOUR ANNOTATION META-DATA!
4THERE IS A WAY TO BACK UP YOUR ANNOTATIONS BEFORE YOUTUBE CHUCKS THEM IN THE RECYCLE BIN!
Instructions are down below!
A last-minute effort poured into a simple program that goes through entire channel's worth of videos saving the meta-data of all Annotations made on the videos and what they link to.
This is for the future, in case someone clever enough can make a web-extension like Honey to access these back-up files to apply to the corresponding YouTube video and re-enable annotations; restoring functionality to 10 years worth of videos that YouTube itself want's to just get rid of.

1 - Click this link: https://github.com/Moder112/MassAnnotationDownloader/releases and download the "ADL 1.6" Zip.
2 - Extract the Zip to open the "channellist" txt file and get rid of all the example links.
3 - Paste any and all YouTube channel and video links you want to back up. Pasting a channel link will back up all videos linked to that channel.
4 - Overwrite the "channellist" txt file and open "run".
5 - Watch as Annotations live on!
