I know memory is fairly cheap but e.g. there are millions of new videos on youtube everyday, each probably few hundred MBs to few GBs. It all has to take enormous amount of space. Not to mention backups.

    Agreed, I pay for YouTube premium and in the world of corporate crap and fees and stuff I’m ok with that value trade off relatively. Hell, I would have paid for Reddit, too, if they weren’t assholes.

    Edit: I mistyped Google premium instead of YouTube premium… same place though of course

      Issue has become that in this era of business you could drop 100k on a car and they’ll still data mine information on you and record you. So you really only paid to be less annoyed, but the tracking remains a core part of the system.

      Now some stuff like proton email do make privacy a part of their business, but that is becoming rarer. Everyone is the product by default no matter how much money they pay for a service these days.
