A significant portion of Youtube videos are archived by archive.org. You can try this link:

https://web.archive.org/web/2oe_/http://wayback-fakeurl.archive.org/yt/[VIDEO ID]

where you replace [VIDEO ID] by the video ID. If they have it, it redirects you immediately to the video and you can easily download it as well.

edit: ...okay, i know wayback machine for quite a while i just forgot to bring it up. are there any other alternatives? even if it's not something like wayback machine or the pirate bay, just something like odysee, but not paid like nebula (btw plz list nebula / netflix hacks that's not checking the torrent sites if you have something!)

original comment:thanks!

youtube-dl is also a great project, allows ppl to download youtube (and a couple dozen porno sites XD) in bulk (by views, by user, by time, etc.) check it out, it's great.

You can also try to determine the title by startpaging the ID, and then use the exact title as a search term to find a mirror of it.

I still mention jewgle because their results are better so long as they aren't censored. This is obscure enough not to be censored. I changed it to "startpaging," though; I think I'm going to start using that.
