Not just catalog for viewing. What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free? I have hundreds of hours of stuff uploaded there.
Store on a hard drive instead.
They are all stored on local hdds, in fact I have two copies locally. I said it's my cloud storage, my backup off site.
Sounds like you don't need cloud storage then.
Except I do, because I don't have off site storage. 3-2-1 my friend. If my house burnt down, without the cloud storage I'd lose everything. Separate local copies is good for defending against disk failure.
If your data isn't worth a few bucks to secure maybe it isn't worth the redundancies in the first place. Keep making excuses and hope they keep allowing you to access your data "for free" or at all.
None. YouTube included.
I mean, I do use YT as cloud storage for free. And before you say the "nothing is free line," note my other replies.
Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.
There are things that are free, Youtube is not one of them.
Okay, as I said in my other replies, the videos are unlisted, not monetized, and I don't pay for it. What is not free about that?
Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?
That's not an answer to my question. What value are they getting from me?
Do you really not know how Google's business model works, or are you playing dumb?
Why can you not give me a straight answer?
I'll say this.
When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:
Or
Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.
I end up preferring the second set of options. It's fine if you don't, but don't pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
