Louis Rossmann just posted a video on how YouTube’s war against ads is backfiring and I wanted to just ask the question because YT burned money for the vast majority of its existence, but I’m just wondering why is video hosting so expensive in the first place, is it because you need mods to make sure people don’t post CP, legal purposes, videos take too much data, what exactly?

Exactly The idea with YouTube was to get everyone to upload based on the free premise. This was even more valuable back when youtube started. The bitrates were lower, but most people's ability to store video was even lower than that.
Then figure out how to monetize that. People are currently worried about YouTube monetization, so they have people's videos including Mr Rossman here.
