Pytube: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone

I’ve been getting this error on several programs for now. I’ve tried upgrading pytube, reinstalling it, tried some fixes, changed URLs and code, but nothing seems to work.

from pytube import YouTube

#ask for the link from user
link = input("Enter the link of YouTube video you want to download:  ")
yt = YouTube(link)

#Showing details
print("Title: ",yt.title)
print("Number of views: ",yt.views)
print("Length of video: ",yt.length)
print("Rating of video: ",yt.rating)
#Getting the highest resolution possible
ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()

#Starting download
print("Downloading...")
ys.download()
print("Download completed!!")

and this is the error code:
