I dunno. Every Youtuber I know makes use of Youtube-dl (or related projects) extensively because many of them don't maintain archives of their own content and Youtube's built-in tools for downloading stuff back from them are terrible.
- tracerbulletx 6y agoAll the better for Youtube to control their content creators more.
- intricatedetail 6y agoYou do subject request under GDPR and they have to give you all your data.
- iameli 6y agoI doubt that includes every transcoded rendition of every one of your videos. And I don't think they probably store source videos in the original format in most cases? Hard to say for sure.
- gundmc 6y agoYoutube used to store original files without even checking that it was a video. This allowed some enterprising individuals to create a YouTube file system. I'm sure that has changed by now.
- jlokier 6y agoUnder GDPR I believe they only have to give you "Personally Identifiable Information" (PII), aka "any piece of information that relates to an identifiable person". It seems likely that some YouTube content does not fall under that category.
