Internet Archive is one of the few tech causes that I donate to for this reason.

Just FYI: only your last 5000 liked videos are in this list, then they drop off the beginning. So back up the list itself if you depend on it

Interesting. Is there a similar reason why old videos show up as unwatched?

I often get a wave of videos I've watched years ago pop up as recommended and not marked as watched.
