If you go to the description in that video, you can go to the Death Threat Video Link:

It says: "the video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by James A. Alefantis"
At first I thought he messed around with the source code, but there isn't anything unique in the video which infringes copyright more than other videos. Now if mr. Alefantis visits Voat, which he probably does, I would like to ask him what the reason for this is? Maybe there is a rational explanation, but this looks very strange.
Ok, update, it seems like the message completely disappeared, but here is a screenshot from when it was still up: https://postimg.org/image/ufsn6qd37/
The screen turns white now, is that normal to happen after a while with copyright claims of Youtube videos?

Oh ok, for me it doesn't, but I don't get why James Alefantis made a copyright claim. There isn't really anything in it infringing copyright as far as I see.

He's literally abusing DMCA to save his own skin. Youtube is rife for DMCA abuse for censorship purposes, and has been for some time. This has been a problem even in cases where fair use clearly applies (ie. critical movie reviews, etc.).
To put the brakes on it, a counterclaim has to be made by the poster of the content.

The poster was pizzagategear, Ryan O' Neal, seeing how, IF the video isn't fake, he threatened his family, he might not want to do a counterclaim for the possible consequences.
But it is very strange. If James Alefantis is a psychopath, he obviously is not a smart one seeing everything he does. If you did things like this, it is not smart to threaten people like this, because it will backfire. If I was in his position, I would do nothing and let all the videos up to not raise suspicion, and maybe say they are smearing me, but getting the videos pulled off basically would make me suspicious.

If this isn't an increasingly elaborate ploy to make it look like JAlepedo is censoring this stuff, then I think we should consider the possibility that Swann's stuff went down because he was threatened. I'd like to believe Ben is working with the FBI to nail Alepedo to the wall after the threats to PGG (on top of what else he's involved in).
