Her health started declining and she always had on her channel something like, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;ll leave these videos up forever.&amp;quot; She passed away and YouTube deleted all her content.&lt;p&gt;The problem is 100x worse for any political content. My YouTube bookmarks from just the past few years is a graveyard of information that&amp;#x27;s not convenient to have around. It&amp;#x27;s even true for politics-related jokes, songs, and memes. They seem to be selected for deletion more often than not, within a few years.</text></comment>

Just the other day I was looking for an old conference talk I was involved in, that for some reason had been taken down from YouTube. It was a decent amount of work even finding a link to convince myself it had ever existed.&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, the Wayback Machine had a copy at decent resolution.&lt;p&gt;Thanks for sharing. &amp;lt;3</text></comment>
