I wouldn't really call myself sad, I feel like I have a positive mindset in most things and I feel content with the ups and downs of life, but overall I feel an underlying melancholy sort of sadness throughout my life.
It's this feeling like the end of a really good book where the resolution was happy but you yourself are sad that it's over, at least that's how I would describe it.
Anyway I really enjoy these types of contemplative philosophy videos, especially yours.

I wrote a poem a while back about the same feeling:
A deep sadness strikes at midnight.
There seems to be no apparent reason for it.
How does one get through it?
How does one know what it is?
I ask myself if it's that reason or this.
Is it the sudden realisation of a lost parent?
Is it the poem I just read?
Is it the lover who doesn't love me like they used to?
Or is it the friend that drifted away?
I tell myself to let it be.
Let it make me.
Let it be me.
Let sadness be sadness.
I tell myself I will endure this night like every other.
I tell myself I will be ready next time when
a deep sadness strikes at midnight.

Being sad for no reason, struggling to do the simplest of tasks despite having a life in which most people would be thriving, is uniquely isolating. I am constantly surrounded by people who have less than me, who struggle more than me, and who succeed more. On the other side I am surrounded by people who struggle less than me, want less, and are more content than I am. The constant voice I hear in my mind telling me I’m pathetic for struggling when my problems are so small makes it so hard to share my feelings, my failures, and my successes with those close to me, and equally hard to feel happy for them in their successes. I have internalized the idea that if I struggle more I’ll be able to justify it. The fact that others experience this is cold comfort.

I've had seasonal "sadness attacks" since at least 11 y. o. These came for no aparent reason, although they almost always came during summer. The feeling was awful. It was an utter despair, like a deep feeling of emptiness that makes you rethink your whole life. But there was no objective reason for them.
Now that I'm an adult I have very real reasons to feel sad and depressed, so I've been on heavy antidepressant medication since I was 23, and the "sadness attacks" don't really come anymore, but I always fear that if I ever stop taking the medication for a relatively long period of time they will eventually come back.
Anyway, that's my story. I'll just put it out there in case anyone has had the same experience, so that they know they're not alone.

Seeing a lot of "woah how did he know I'm also sad at this very instant" and I'm a bit concerned. Surface level "don't be sad" aside, I think this is one of the few illusions that should be broken.
Not everyone currently watching this video is sad. Nor were you always sad. Your brain might automatically start recollecting all the sad moments in your life the nanosecond you read the video's title which gave you a negative rush. Which is fine, that happens to anyone, but I hope people are at least a little bit more aware of it.
Don't chase the sadness away, you'll get same results as chasing a butterfly. Just stay conscious of it, treat yourself if needed, don't be afraid to talk to close ones about it (or write it down in some journal, or express yourself in art if that's your thing)
If you're watching this video you probably have a lot of time on your hands (or at least you could cut down on YouTube a little) and take some time to reflect upon yourself. Learn by little what makes you tick, what makes you happy and sad. You don't have to meticulously research yourself to optimize your happiness (sort of cynical approach), it's enough just for you to know that you're familiarizing yourself with yourself.
I hate how generic this may sound but "do what's best for you". Cry for a bit, scribble some moody picture, sing, sleep, eat a little snack, jog, box or whatever. Maybe you'll find something that works really well in these down times, good times won't wait forever to come.

I'm proud of you for waking up
I'm proud of you for brushing your hair
I'm proud of you for blinking
I'm proud of you for breathing
I'm proud of you for making your bed
I'm proud of you for eating
I'm proud of you for trying to eat
I'm proud of you for drinking water
I'm proud of you for being here
I'm proud of you for smiling
I'm proud of you for continuing even when things get difficult
I'm proud of you for standing up
I'm proud of you sitting down
I'm proud of you for going to school
I'm proud of you for being alive
I'm proud of you for simply trying
I'm so proud of you
Not my words, just passing this around!

whenever I feel sad for no apparent reason I know it's just many small reasons and I go to my comfort place, the roof of a shop along the busy boulevard and watch the cars and people go by , while listening to music. In those moments nothing matters , my problems don't matter and my sadness doesn't matter , the lyrics matter , the beat matters and the beautiful view matters. It reminds me why I love living in a city , you can feel the piece and quiet even on the busiest street.
