i am more worried about the old videos wipe thats coming soon

Who's going to wipe the old videos?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (11 children)

Google’s going to delete inactive google accounts. So if you see a channel whose last upload was six years ago, there’s a good chance it’s about to be deleted

Goddamnit, I didn't even think about this when I saw they were doing the mass delete. Here's to hoping that they'll at least keep the videos up. Waaaay too much stuff on YT to lose it all. Anyone know if archive.org is backing them up?

At this point you got to imagine that archives hardware infrastructure has to be as big or bigger than Google's.

Man this stuff should not be left to the hands of random corporations.

I was just speaking towards server hardware and infrastructure, and their costs, and not making a value judgement on corps vs. not-corps.
