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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

i spent 2 years uploading private videos then deleting them from my harddrive (i only have 3TB of storage) and then recently 3 videos (all uploaded in 2021) got flagged for hate speech. most of these videos and all the ones flagged were uncut recordings of competitive overwatch (and othr random videogames) matches with friends. Hundreds of videos are now no longer accessible since I got banned but when i go to youtube on chrome it bugs out and i can see my old youtube profile pic as if the account still exists but just cant be viewed by me. Is there any way to get these videos back? I want to back them up in hardware.

Recover from what? The hosting provider deleted it.
