>Totally, I agree; huzzah for yt-dlp and appropriate data retention. Still though - if I want to consume relatively digestable archaeological video content, where do I go? A fair point. Given the current online media ecosystem, I don't have a good answer for you. :( From a longer-term perspective, high-speed symmetric consumer internet links can enable decent, distributed/decentralized content without rapacious scumbags like Alphabet. But it remains to be seen how long that might take to happen. Until then, (fortunately) there's yt-dlp and its ilk. Sorry, wish I could make a better suggestion.
