Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

MODERATORS
Yeah they're probably gone. I tried looking for some video I remembered a while back but you need the url to have any chance of success.
Yupp, exact URL is pretty much a bare minimum requirement.
Archive.org sometimes will have YT videos saved too, just an inspect element to grab the video MP4 from their custom player
And the video you were looking for was still in YT or what is the benefit of knowing the exact URL?
I'm asking because I used to save the videos in my browser bookmarks but I did some cleaning several years ago.
