Don't trust Internet Archive as your only backup method though. There has been instances where they delete files without warning with the only explanation being that they don't meet TOS
Someone dumping their Twitch stream or random Youtube content into the storage system will certainly have that content deleted and be banned if prior arrangements have not been made, for example. Don’t do that.

Agreed, no doubt about it.

What sort of content? All the content I've judged to be of public interest and uploaded to Internet Archive, is still online there today. But I'd understand that depending on the type of content, that might not be true for everythibng.
As far as I remember the issue may have been that archive.org already had a copy of what had been uploaded, but they deleted it without warning and then refused to offer an explanation
So it may have been a legitimate deletion, but poorly executed
