I came across a video about a channel called am I the jerk being deleted for false copyright claims. They have two channels Am I The Jerk/Am I The Genius and we need to archive them.
I often watch his videos and it would suck if all of them were deleted. Is there any way to archive the videos without downloading every one of them and re-uploading them on the internet archive?

I've been downloading some myself and have been donating the wayback machine. The chances of the channel getting deleted this way are low and if it does it will probably go back up but channels have been permanently deleted because of this before.
This is a video he made. If you haven't already, watch it he explains it way better than I could. If he is deleted then keep in mind their spotify will stay up.
If we donate to the wayback machine it'll save the files without having to download them all. if you copy the video link, and put it into there wayback machine save box it'll save the video file to the wayback machine. If you do save one then it'll take a few days to save the video.

Oh, I didn't know the Wayback machine had the option to save the videos like that. Also if I were to download videos, where should I start from to make sure I don't download the same ones as you?

Well first I think I should say how to download videos. First you have to use mobile. There is a way to do it on computers but it is unnecessarily complicated, and it didn't work for me. If you see a video that works you need to wait for the play button to load
Then there will be options in the bottom right. There's a speed option, and three dots. If you press the three dots then there will be a download option. If you press the download option sometimes it will save it as an .html file instead of a video file. In that case download the .html, go into the .html, and simply wait for the video to load and download through the three dots, it should be a video file.
As for that we might need to make a list of videos and contribute by listing which videos we have.
