  Historical 2009-2010 YouTube API metadata statistics crawler

As did I, for a long time. But there is another important statistic, a few clicks away that you may have missed. Chris Foo's stats from 2010 on the Archive Team survey. There and then, the deletion rate was a measly ~4%. That means that a lot of those videos were deleted after one year had passed, which would not be explainable by such a use-case as yours alone.
