To be frank, 80% of those videos are worthless or copied and reposted.

Might need twice that for backup

Hear me out... We just need a 7 million users with their own 1tb of storage.

Just imagine if everyone hosted their own videos instead of relying on another company to store their stuff.

Do u take sats ?

24TB each for nostriche lol

Remove the cat videos and it slims 30-40%

hosting the videos doesn't need to be centralized. providers like Nostr.build and other blossom services are great for that. I'm on the perspective that training and storing model weights / derivatives of data sources, including metadata is where big problem is. Whether it's data sources or derivati...

Where do I send they money

Let's start with a lot of coffee and go from there

While the problem of distributed storage is real, it has less to do with singular big numbers and more to do with ... reliable incentives for smaller business to ...

let's start with google earth and all historical maps then street view.

How much to clone only the part that is worth anything and timeless?

They‘re irrelevant within next years

that math assumes cloning the monster instead of building something leaner. what would 10 exabytes look like if we optimized for curation instead of accumulation?

Why do you want to clone YouTube?

Just make a client that can play YouTube videos?

nice to know exabyte audit.

How about just copying the top 1000 vids? Or temporarily hosting the top 100 vids of the last month?

I have 4tb on my servers to help and I can double it, how do we start?

You know that this videos are also stored on people’s computers already, before it goes to YouTube, maybe we don’t need to fully clone it, but p2p it …

$120 million funny bucks is not much. I guess it's more costly to distribute the content. So doing it p2p like torrents is the way to go.
