This is a bit of an interesting case... The "lost" media we're dealing with isn't actually lost yet. In 100% honesty, there's no concrete evidence that it will become lost. But I have some strong evidence.
Background
ETC Show was a YouTube channel owned by Machinima, and (from what I've gleaned) the creators of the show wanted to leave Machinima. The only way they were able to do this was by creating a new channel, Internet Today, and moving all their new uploads their.
Problem
The hosts of Internet Today / ETC News left a strange hint in one of their newer videos regarding a video on their old channel:
It sounds to me like they're planning on nuking their old channel. With 1,761 uploads, many of which are over 20 minutes long, it would be impossible for me to download their entire video archive. I'd be sad to see their old episodes disappear, but I don't know what I can do. I guess there's a chance that the videos won't get deleted. I figured I should at least share my theory here to hear your opinions.

"But watch it soon, because that video might not be feeling so good... Along with all the other videos on that channel, not feeling so good."
