Who's going to wipe the old videos?

    Google’s going to delete inactive google accounts. So if you see a channel whose last upload was six years ago, there’s a good chance it’s about to be deleted

    Oh I suppose my diseased father's small channel with a few of his live music performances will be deleted. Lovely.

    Goddamnit, I didn't even think about this when I saw they were doing the mass delete. Here's to hoping that they'll at least keep the videos up. Waaaay too much stuff on YT to lose it all. Anyone know if archive.org is backing them up?

    At this point you got to imagine that archives hardware infrastructure has to be as big or bigger than Google's.
