Right click and see if there's a save option for videos and pics. Utube vids (and some others) can be saved with the "4k Video Downloader" program.
I use a Firefox variant for my browser and you can right click and save the entire page most of the time if needed.
I can also right click on a page and choose "view page info" and then "media". Then you can search for the file you want to save and and choose "Save as..." That's how I get lotsa stuff on pages that block downloads of media files.
I don't do much but I have a few documentaries etc. saved, I've been using an app called FreeTube which enables you to subscribe to channels and catalogue them without needing a youtube account, you can see comments but naturally you can't add them and it has the functionality to download videos. If I try to stop using my google account altogether at least I can use FreeTube to access subscriptions.
I haven't burned CDs or DVDs in years, but I'm getting a hankering to make a DVD collection and put them in a safe. Could be like a time capsule for somebody down the road if they still work.
I don't know about the truth of it but they say most storage media has a shelf life--if you believe that then you may want to consider something designed for archival, m-disc springs to mind which some claim has a life span of 1000 years from memory but they are a fair bit more pricey and would probably only be worth it for the important stuff.
EDIT: The concerns about the lifespan being short may be overblown though. I just wouldn't risk it for genuinely important stuff.
I have many TBs of files that I have downloaded, from the early 80s (from bulletin board systems) up to a few minutes ago. I have so many that I have begun filing them by date. I have folders for each year and sub-folders for each month. I have hundreds, even thousands, of files in a lot of the monthly folders.
I also have multiple backups, including a secret online hidey hole for backups of my most important files.
All together just the Q books are a whopping 3-4" thick. They also have archived a lot of the info that was lost on Qmap/pub such as key players, and more.
Also have a lot of community makde graphs / maps /charts and the Q CLOCK.
I save every infographic, q delta pr00fs, stoopid memes, good boy pepe gifs, and even the ones about side of beef hillary. My phones camera gallery is a pictoral archive of tdwin for a few months and then gaw.win from november to now lol.
Yep. memes, PDFs, books, YT and other vids, etc. Been operating under this principle since I saw an American Thinker article in December urging this in the event of a complete digital Krystallnacht of our way of life.
Ever hear of the "sneaker net"? That was real popular a few decades ago. After that came bulletin board systems and dial-up connections. Some of these still operate. That's where I downloaded files in the 80s and early 90s. There is also ad hoc networking using your cellphones or network routers. With the router, you would need to be close enough to a neighboring router to connect to it. Cellphones can also connect to each other without the cellphone system or cell towers if they are close enough.
MicroSD cards are really compact. You can theoretically fit many TBs of them in a single Altoids tin. Just make sure you have the SD adapter and a USB adapter. I bought a bunch of microSD cards so I can carry multitudes of files with me. I can swap them out in my little Fire 7 that I got a few years ago for $29.99. Amazing price for that much info convenience. I can show people a lot of stuff quickly on that thing. Also, it can slide into a shirt pocket.
Pede can you pls make available for download? KTHX

How does one archive? Dumb question i know.

You can go to 'print' and change the printer to 'save as PDF' for starters.
Itll save the webpage as an image.
I like JDownloader, I haven't found anything it can't download. As yet.

I don't know either
Just sorted the videos today and all the pics and memes are in a single folder. Currently 146GBs total and growing.
Edit and some complete websites along with some pdfs.

Buy them these at print cost for christmas. Autograph them as you are a digital soldier.

I printed out all the info that's relevant.
So when if the web goes down, I have time to talk to my neighbourhood.
I have some things archived but it's far away from being worth boasting about.
Maybe throw up a few torrents and the fruits of your labor will be multiplied manyfold?
Btw one fun little way to save images with a decent level of permanence is ipfs (interplanetary file system). A lot of the NFTs are using it.

Here's the ipfs for your Pepe:

Thanks, I didn't know about that. bless you.
I too was absolutely dazzled by this little protocol when I stumbled upon it!

I took it beyond literal and spent MONTHS creating books assuming that ALL electronic devices would go down, ie; an emp or similar.
Every Q drop + a LOT more is archived in these, available at PRINT COST. I dont make a penny.

All in the highest definition available online.

I know not the first step of archiving.
Getting there slowly.
I don't, but it's good to hear that some people do.
How do you plan to distribute it without internet?

Buy those printed copies.
If net goes down long term and all is lost, painstakingly RETYPE every drop from these book archives.

There are more ways that this.
Got a sack full of them.
