I'm asking because I have been looking for some videos about the game Metroid Prime Hunters, these are some online gameplay videos almost since the beginning of YouTube...

I only remember them in my mind, I don't even recall specific channel names.

Is there any like archive of YT videos? Or is this lost media now?

    Yeah they're probably gone. I tried looking for some video I remembered a while back but you need the url to have any chance of success.

      Yupp, exact URL is pretty much a bare minimum requirement.

      Archive.org sometimes will have YT videos saved too, just an inspect element to grab the video MP4 from their custom player

      And the video you were looking for was still in YT or what is the benefit of knowing the exact URL?

      I'm asking because I used to save the videos in my browser bookmarks but I did some cleaning several years ago.
