MubelotixThe decentralized web is growing
JshKlsnI literally have like 1TB of video stored on YouTube and privatized. Google is making $0 from my videos, but they still have to store them and have them available if I want to watch it (it’s all of my Twitch VODs). Meanwhile websites like Streamable perma-delete my 5MB video after it gets 0 views in 2 milliseconds.
YouTube is a behemoth that will not be replaced.
AndrzejI mean you're right that YouTube isn't going anywhere, but they're going to either delete that data or start charging you for it at some point
The university I work for just got hit with this. We used to give out alums free Google services (including unlimited storage) because that’s what was in our contract. Well Google changed their minds and now we have to pay out the ass for that space, so we’re just dropping google instead (which is ultimately what they wanted tbh). Our users are fucking livid too saying like “I had 15 terabytes of shit on there!”. Well, sorry! That shit costs money.
