    I’m worried about YouTube, but the rest of it can go. I don’t think anyone has the storage space for YouTube except Google. I wouldn’t be surprised if YouTube’s data was in the exabyte range.

      I love YouTube. But if YouTube died I would t be too upset. Something else would come along and take it’s place.

        It’s not the platform I care about it’s the backlog of existing videos that could never be replaced. Many would get archived but definitely not all.

        Yeah, the only thing that’s ACTUALLY good about YouTube anymore is the creators who can only be found there.

        If YouTube was closed down, creators would quickly migrate to another platform, one that would probably be much better for end users in every way.

        That’s not the part I’m concerned about; I’m concerned about the fact that there are almost 2 decades of videos on YouTube. Like, I don’t know how many videos are on YouTube, but it’s gotta be in the billions at this point. Where is that all gonna go? Who’s gonna archive it? You think YouTube will spend the money to archive it all if they’re going bankrupt?
