Just like how songs, writings, films and pictures are still found today even when it was made 200 years ago. Will the same thing happen with youtube videos 200 years from now even when youtube is done? It's a question i always wondered.

With video creators backing up their videos before uploading them and some people downloading other people's video off the site, using YouTube video downloaders, I certainly think (and hope) they will. I'm pretty sure if YouTube dies though another similar site will rise up and take their place, so people will probably just transition their videos over.
 
To be honest, Youtube will never die. Every other video sharing site (dailymotion, vimeo, etc) is so far behind that nothing will be able to topple them. Especially with Google owning Youtube, I don't think it will be going away until hell freezes over.

This, Youtube is a huge moneymaker for Google, and with no clear competition in sight (Twitch possibly the closest, but as that is a stream service, doubt they're worried) it would need a drastic change of fortune for people to be worried about Youtubes future, it'll still be here within the next 5 years, almost certain.
 
It is an interesting topic to discuss, but if Youtube did somehow die (Google go bust) another video uploading service would surface pretty much straight away and everyone, i'd assume would simply migrate there and continue there youtube career/hobby/interest.

I could potentially see it fizzling out eventually though, as times change and people move on, lose interest or simply get more priorities which overtake youtube.

Yes. Technology only gets more advanced.
Humans managed to preserve all those old books, pictures, and films like you said before computers even existed (ok don't quote me on that for films).
With the technology we have now and the technology that will exist 200 years from now, I'm sure nothing will ever get lost.
