How hard can this be??

Last week our fridge-freezer stopped working. I was trying to find out whether it could be fixed, so I was searching online for information.
One of the things I found was a video on how to repair something in a refrigerator. The video was OK and the narration was in English, but it also had subtitles (also in English) which were absolute twaddle. It was so bizarre and hilarious that I turned the sound off and read the subtitles instead.
It wasn’t relevant to my problem but I was going to send it on for its entertainment value. Unfortunately I forgot and turned the computer off.
Since then I have been looking for it but I simply cannot find it again - I would start to think I must have imagined it except that I read it all out to my partner because it was such utter rubbish! Now it’s driving me mad because I really want to find it again but I am wasting so much time looking for something which is totally useless!
I’ve Googled all the terms and combinations I think I might have tried. I’ve looked at the side panel of videos that show up when you look at something on YouTube. I’ve gone through my entire internet history for the past month three times and haven’t managed to find it. How come people have their computers seized by the police and all kinds of incriminating history is found, but I can’t find an innocent repair video?
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know!

It is so hard if we just didn't save it but who knows one day you can remember and find it again.

Do you remember how you found that video in the first place? Sometimes I have stumbled upon videos by going through a particular path of videos, but then of course I can never recall how I got there exactly 
. I find it helpful to remember the channel or YouTuber name at least, but I don't always take note of that. Sometimes I do have to wonder if it possibly got deleted - that happens - but it drives me nuts not knowing whether it still exists or not.

It was so bad it was funny. Yes I would post it here if I could find it!
I'm afraid the fridge-freezer was past saving. I was given it free in 2003 when I bought my first house so it must be at least 20 years old, so I guess that's not bad. It's too old to find parts available for it, even if we did figure out exactly what was wrong.

I suspect someone told the owner of the video it was complete trash so they deleted it. I've been frustrated over that before. That's why, when I find something I might want to share, or see again, I download it. (Pretty says that's crazy because the stuff I download will still be online when I look for it again... but I've seen them disappear often enough to know she's wrong.)

@Fleura Uh huh, it's not finding that video that drove you mad and not the people on myLot that did that. I totally believe you.
