Since certain "progressive" folks working in Silicon Valley have appointed themselves as the arbiters of the internet, they've been taking down a lot of videos. Luckily for us, there's a few easy ways for us to save videos on various social media sites.
YouTube
For YouTube, you can download a free program called VLC Media Player. You can use it to stream YouTube videos, and from that point you can recover a URL that you can use to download a full length video. (Note: Not sure if this works for livestreams).

For Twatter, you can use the site below to "download" videos embedded in tweets. I say "download" because it really just points you to where on Twitter's servers the videos are stored.
Streamable
Unforunately I tried using VLC and it didn't work, but after playing around with Brave's developer tools this might be one of the easiest sites to download videos from.
- Open your browser's developer tools (Ctrl + Shift + I on Brave/Edge and I think Chrome/Firefox as well)
- Go to "Network".
- Navigate to the Streamable URL you want to download (if you are already there, just reload the page)
- Under the "Name" column, look for an item with ".mp4" in it. It's pretty predictable, e.g. if you're on https://streamable.com/nwak30, then there should be an item named "nwak30.mp4?...". Right click on that and "Open in new tab". A file save dialog should automatically appear in most browsers.
When all else fails...
You can always use screen recording software.
Bonus Step
Feel free to re-upload your video to a non-cucked site like Parler or https://video.maga.host/. Also add any additional advice or instructions for Zuckbook in the comments.
I forgot about GreaseMonkey. Thanks!
