I'm a fan footage and photos hoarder. Archive.org will often have deleted Youtube videos, although I have to use Web Inspector to grab them.
My fave command-line tool is yt-dlp, which saves video from a variety of websites including Youtube, Tumblr, and Instagram Stories. In its base form it's pretty idiotproof, but if you want to get fancy you can also specify things like quality or file format which is often very necessary for ancient Youtube videos.
