and you can use yt-dlp to download bits you want to save yourself.

Yeah that is what ArchiveTeam is using.

Just wonder can't we just start web torrent/torrent or IPFS these video files with some kind #YTPubArchive tag?

No. yt-dlp downloads most videos without needing a yt (or any) login. A very few end up gated behind some form of login, but I suspect those are creator specific.

I find login walls on YT only when needing to confirm age for some reason: explicit or suicidal content, age checks, etc

[OhMeadhbh]

Same.
