How is YouTube going to deal with all the storage of these videos?


Look forward to further increases in pricing, whether through subscription rates or ad frequency or anti-ad-blocker measures, I guess.

I was thinking the same thing recently after reading a statement by Deezer that their AI music detector now flags more than a third of newly added music. Even if it gets no listens, all that junk has to be processed, stored, and kept available.


Maybe they will avoid the storage cost by generating this slop on the fly; who would notice?


AI compute costs far outweigh storage costs.
