Not necessarily. Like I don't have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.

Shorter format stuff – sure, and that seems to be the only focus really for peertube now. Most of the YT stuff I posted was like bits and pieces of my journey of creating a product photography studio and progress I was making while still in my collar with a broken neck. I also made electrical hobby and bicycle stuff. I typically uploaded long format with 20-40 minutes detailing what I tried and what did or did not work when fixing stuff that is supposed to be unserviceable or undocumented and like reverse engineering type content. Some of those proved to be a reference I used many years later. My digital storage has never been at a very high quality level. Most of my motivation is like here on Lemmy; I want to share and just be a little social while maybe providing some useful tidbit that helps someone. I'd rather relegate that digital archiving to someone else mostly because my life has never been well supported or super stable.
