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?

Yeah Youtube's problem isn't the size of videos it's that they never delete them, so their cost for capacity is ever increasing.
I think this is partly why they gimped their own search so for many videos you can't find videos even by their exact title.
If nobody can find the video they can put it on tape and never deal with it again until somehow somebody stumbles on it.
Yeah having them all and having processed them with their AI, the old videos don't have to be available.
