Me too. Practically every video I have seen since ~2012 went through youtube-dl, along with 100x more that I didn't watch. The memory hole is real, I plan to post my kit sometime, there's a few pieces on github (until?) already. I suspect the majority of the material I deliberately archived will be gone on YT, it's somewhere around 20% and it's going to hit 50. A big chunk is historically significant.
There is a serious push to criminalize memory. The GPDR is the latest attack. It's a huge problem for power centers that people can so effectively lookup the past themselves independent of what was deleted. Archive.org is a gold canary and they know it. They must partner with other people willing to accept copies, it's too easy and valuable to attack them otherwise.
btw (unrelated to video): https://github.com/bup/bup https://github.com/bup/bup is awesome.
