          No youtube for you then, being disabled doesnt mean the universe owns you free videos and you can insult others for reminding you that stuff costs money

          Edit money not even required just watch ads, the entitlement jesus

              Wow your reading comprehension is astounding, ill try to use as few words as possible, more videos = more money needed to host them

                  Storage isn’t cheap

                  Network bandwidth isn’t cheap

                  Data centers aren’t cheap

                  Add on Electricity, Transcoding, Multiple AZs, Backups, cached content with ISPs and engineer salaries and you’ve got a very expensive system.

                  That’s not even factoring in payments to creators, which are necessary if you want people to make quality content for the platform.

                  Your website serves multiple orders of magnitude less traffic than a single YouTube page. Web costs aren’t linear. It’s an S-Curve where it’s incredibly cheap to get started, but gets exponentially more expensive until you’ve reached some level of critical mass where revenue exceeds costs.

                  Video hosting pre-YouTube was terrible. It barely existed, and it wasn’t accessible. They sure didn’t invent it, but they made it possible for the masses to host video.

                  No other web content platform has taken off since YouTube. There’s a reason for that, and the majority is cost. To reach a widespread audience you have to invest hundreds of millions into infrastructure. Same reason Twitch still has the critical mass of livestreamers.

                  I already covered those points in my previous comments: 500 hours uploaded per minute, more videos = more money needed to host them. I can’t dumb it down further, sorry
