No backup and ‘all the eggs in one basket’. Seems to me like a high risk to take. ‘Backup being too expensive’ surely there can’t be that many videos (a $business$ should be able to afford a few ~10TB usb disks for a few hundred $/€). I have no trust in services like YT (where I am the product) so I host my own data on my own server and roll my own backups - on/off-site - (thus have only myself to blame if it goes bad). I have actually been thinking if I should yt-dl the good videos I have found on YT for exactly the incident you have been exposed to! I really feel for your loss - and really hope that a human contact will be made so the content can be retrieved. Hopefully HN attention might help! It’s a sad world where so-called AI makes the decisions and it’s almost impossible to get in touch with a real live human being. I fear for the future (your experience being a good example of how bad it can go). Just think about when those methodologies get applied to the legal-system or health-system. ‘Appeal - not possible the AI knows better and have decided…’ Hmm - I think I read it already started in the police-domain with face-detection…
