That's why I archive my favorite videos with tools like youtube-dl. Their automated systems, censorship mechanisms, user reports (even if they're fake), even the "fact checkers" ask and remove videos without a real reason. If the account is still active the owner can start an appeal process that rarely works. Most of the times no appeal is done and the video is lost until someone risks his account and reuploads it again. Never trust an online website to keep your content up for you. Always back it up since it can be removed anytime and without asking.
