If you feel like chatting with others who also archive YouTube (and other) content, consider stopping by my discord server: https://discord.gg/rgBHGm9mTC

We maintain a central list [1] of content that various members have archived, so that when content is removed from YouTube, people can direct inquiries to contributors who have archived that content.

It's a small way to keep track of what things have been successfully archived, and sometimes direct efforts to preserve specific content.

Yeah I've started doing the same. When I [rarely] log into my YT account to find an old favorite from a couple years ago or whatever, I notice that something like 2/3 of my Favorites are unavailable now (I've been using YT since it launched so that kinda skews the chances in that direction of course, but the point remains).
