Dude oh my God...
I NEED TO MAKE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
But again here we are talking about the internet (video) being something that lasts for "generations"...
I've talked about my opinions regarding this concept:

The concept is one I can't relate to... I believe there will be a failure of the technological system which will put us back in the stone ages, probably due to natural phenomenon like CMEs, a Carrington Event on steroids type deal.
Things like Facebook etc. won't be around in 100 years, I'm sorry. It just won't be. The whole digital progression will be like the comparison between phonographs and MP3 players by then, only with tech and concepts that are totally beyond our understanding at this time. Or, it'll be the stone ages again due to natural events (CME/EMP, etc). One or the other.
What will have promise of longevity is the WRITTEN WORD. So go ahead and make your videos, but TRANSCRIBE that material and have physical copies of it. That is absolutely the only way to ensure that it might survive.
This digital material is subject to censorship at the mere click of a button due to algorithms which look for certain words and then "disappear" your content forever if they're found... none of it is safe. If people depend on the idea that the internet in its current form (and the digital materials therein) will stand the test of time, they will be in even more danger of being lost to time than their ancestors who were featured in physical photos and newspaper clippings.
Do not depend on this digital platform to stand the test of time... it's naive and it's a dangerous belief if you ACTUALLY want to be remembered.
As much as they're dumbing down society these days, it'll be a miracle if anybody is even smart enough to read by then anyway. But as always there will still be some who are apart from the herd and are still intelligent.
The secret to hard copies is physical distribution. Don't keep it all in one place and don't hoard it for yourself. If you can get it into book form, mail it out to select places which accept random books and display them or keep them for record. There are sites which list these "open libraries"... they're all over the world. Distribute, distribute, distribute.
