I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Just a heads up: make sure to have a second (or maybe even third) backup of your videos... A hard-drive doesn't last forever, and especially the portable ones... They die pretty randomly.
Speaking from painful experience, having all our family videos from +20 years lost forever
Tried taking the drives to a recovery specialist?

They don’t encode/compress? You probably can’t download the originally-uploaded files.

Might be cost-prohibitive, especially if it’s multiple drives.

Dh data recovery does a great job, (if he still does it)

If that’s what you have in your family videos then you have bigger problems than YouTube closing your account...

I doubt that’s tripping up Google’s YouTube’s algorithms, and if it does they have bigger problems than some heimishe family’s home videos...

Also, camcorders in 1973?

(they seem to be associated with the famous Legacy Box, so I am avoiding them too).

What's the issue with "the famous Legacy Box"?

Because I had a terrible, terrible experience with what seems to be their sister company. (Now confirmed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southtree) Poor, inconsistent quality. BESIDES for the first time getting a USB full of SOMEONE ELSE'S videos.
