Hi, I'm TigerMan1995 and I have lost media of my own. I created video from 2013-2016 and have deleted some instead of privatizing them as I found them cringy. Now, I need a archive of my videos just to keep track of my internet stamp. If anyone downloaded any of these videos, which I don't know why would've, please let me know.

Once you delete them, they are gone forever unless someone saved them. Even the Wayback Machine, which sometimes recovers videos, brings back none of your old videos.

Yeah. It should exist based off of "Anything you delete on the internet is still on the Internet." Which is doesn't make sense. It's like YouTube are holding them hostage or something. Very disappointed at YouTube for this. Now you can't even view info form 6 weeks ago anymore.

I highly doubt Google doesn't have petabytes or even exabytes of backups of everything on their servers on thousands of archival grade, hundred terabyte tape reels. They just don't care enough about their customers or creators to bother spending the manpower to find what old archive tape would have anyone's videos, and give them back if requested.

This is so sad, can we hit 50 likes?

TAPE REELS?

Google's old, but they're not that old.

Google's old, but they're not that old.

Large companies STILL use tapes for backups, as the density of tapes has far exceeded the density of other media's due to it's massive use over time. There are 500 terabyte archival grade tape reels out there (though they are massive and made only for server backup). The speed of these tapes is even in the hundred megabyte per second read/write range or even higher. It's pretty impressive. It's not nearly enough to actually run the servers OFF OF, though, just backups.

Google probably over-writes the data for deleted videos with new videos. They get so many. Even if they don't do that right away, they would get so many accidental deletion requests that they would never get through them all. It's not that they don't care, it's that they practically can't care.

The Wayback Machine has started saving videos with Twitter links, so a fairly good portion of decently-watched videos that were up for a while before being deleted during recent years are available (Have found videos that way). It also seems to crawl a little bit deeper than that into other YT videos. However, it doesn't crawl deep enough to find most little-watched videos (which may be the policy for a while, given that it would allow copyright-violating material to stay up). Also, I tried preserving an old video I was in, and it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea how the process works- most of the newly-archived videos were Flash even though YT's used HTML5 for a while- my best guess is the crawlers use an old browser that doesn't support HTML5.
