That's basically what happened a couple months ago to my youtube account of several years. Didn't have any videos on it, but I used it primarily for voting and commenting, so most likely some wokerati reported a non-gender inclusive opinion of mine and it subsequently got banned. Bad day, as I had several hundreds of favorited videos on it in many different playlists and thought I'd lost it forever.

I appealed the ban, though, with a very general but confident statement that I didn't break any community guidelines(they didn't even say what I said that was so wrong) and crossed my fingers. Fortunately, there was still some sane people working there, as I got the account back.

Now I don't really take any chances with online lists kept on websites. They can stop you from accessing them at anytime for any reason. I just keep local browser bookmarks of the videos in a tree of nested folders accessible on my bookmarks bar. The bookmarks have the links of the pages and the names of those pages when they were bookmarked, and I can export and then back up those browser bookmarks anywhere.

My youtube account was also deleted 2 months ago, without warning. I'd had it for 10+ years. I appealed too, but didn't get mine back. I got into a youtube argument with a trans-identified male, and told him real women don't have anime profile pictures. That was it, and account permanently banned.

That sucks; I'm sorry to hear that. It's crazy how much deference they get over others on social media.

Thanks, and I'm sorry your account got deleted too initially. It's good you got it back.
