There are thousands of hours of excellent cybersecurity content hosted on YouTube. The possibility of losing this wealth of information and history is shocking to me.

Time to start the archive effort. And to finally appreciate what so many other communities have gone through when they've found themselves on the wrong side of one of the internet behemoths. I feel naive.

Shocking indeed. Imagine if this thinking was applied to other classes of content. Banning game emulator videos. Banning piracy videos. Banning unauthorized iphone repair videos.
Do you have any recommendations on channels to archive?
'Adrian Crenshaw' He uploads from more than 20 hacking/infosec cons a year and has around 2k videos.

'IppSec' has around 100 CTF walkthroughs.

'Open SecurityTraining' has ~200 tutorial vids on topics like reverse engineering and malware analysis.

Edit: added a few more.

Thank you!
No problem. Do you have any idea where you'll archive them?
My local server. If the smoke clears and channels do get banned, I'd buy a VPS or post torrent links.
Consider peertube instead.
- Many convention talks are really good and are too many to list - OWASP - zseano - hackerone - Bugcrowd (Jason Haddix's stuff is a pretty important pillar) - OWASP - DarkOperator - Absolute AppSec - KacperSzureEN - PwnFunction - LiveOverflow

There are a ton more, these are just ones I've been watching in the past 6 months or so.

You missed a 'k' in 'KacperSzurekEN' - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDbNNYUME_pgocqarSjfNGw
Thank you!
PeerTube lets you import YouTube videos.
LiveOverflow is great also
