this is actually a good idea for preservation efforts. leaving such a huge library of videos that has been around since the modern internets founding with no backups feels dangerous because it is at the mercy of a for profit company which at any time can choose to just nuke their archives.
see what is currently happening with reddit many users are overwriting their comments which (good fuck reddit fir trying to make money from user provided free content then going around and charging the people that maintain the platform) but its also sad to see because now this huge repository of solutions or anecdotes of real issues that affect or have effected people will soon be gone.
and a loss of knowledge is always a tragedy.
for one someone should defenitely make sure to back up this

!datahoarder@lemmy.ml and other similar communities might be of interest, they do archiving projects like this.
I saw a complete archive of everything posted to Reddit on one of the datahoarder communities as well, it'll have copies of all those deleted and overwritten comments tucked away in there for future recovery.
