    Currently data storage is dirt cheap because globalised mass production of electronics is a wild thing.

    As soon as we get past our current peak everything production at least on copper, rare metals, and petrol (there’s more, I’m just not knowledgeable enough) and we start to have to ration things a bit high res video streaming will be one of the first things to go.

        My guess would be deleting higher res versions of less watched videos and unwatched videos alltogether.

        Anyway archiving everything everyone does is - imho - a fool’s errand.
