This is pure speculation, but I suppose youtube maintains this because they want people to keep having youtube as the only platform for them to dump their videos. If youtube starts limiting storage too much, people will seek other sites and that jeopardizes youtube's monopoly.Atlantico wrote: ↑ April 29th, 2024, 11:37Youtube reserves the rights to delete videos at will, for any reason.

They pass this cost onto the user instead of doing something about blatantly obvious abusive behavior.
Besides. The NSA definitely covers the losses. Youtube is probably the biggest honeypot ever.
