It's probably time to start saving the videos you like if you haven't already. I still remember when Key and Peele's whole catalog (or a lot of it) was available on youtube back in 2015-2016. For a brief window of time. Some of my favourite songs with 10s of millions of views have been taken down. Many niche videos don't get reuploaded. No guarentees that youtube will keep your unique or exclusive videos publicly available. Every video is fair game for deletion at any moment.

>I still remember when Key and Peele's whole catalog (or a lot of it) was available on youtube back in 2015-2016. For a brief window of time. Is there a lot of stuff missing on Comedy Central? I've discovered them on Youtube(I'm european), it seems like there is a tooon of content from them, is it just a small part of what they did?

  Their show also included standup comedy/overarching plots in between the skits that are not available on YouTube

TFA is about reuploads and other kinds of user content, that was not kosher in the first place. These may be deleted by YouTube. Your examples are about IP and content ownership changing leading to video being removed by the channels themselves. That’s a different problem, not solvable by YT.

And as the platform ages creators will start to pass away, what then?

  Presumably an inactive account wouldn't be removed by default. (Unless you have manually configured this)

    It will still get DMCA claims and since it's inactive there won't be anyone to counterclaim. Defacto it will lead to the removal of content. Bitrot by DMCA.
