YouTube recently deleted a video of mine for violating their ToS (my video just showcased a YouTube DL UI I built). I'm super sad because somehow I did not have a backup as I expected it to last forever in YouTube. I miss the video and it seems it's not archived anywhere
It's almost definitely in Google takeout if you select your YouTube videos.
But also losing something small like that is a small price to pay for ensuring what you truly care about (photos/documents) are truly backed up.
But didn't you get involved in youtube-dl tooling knowing that nothing can be assumed to last forever in youtube?
