You're not scanning through bulk storage like that all the time. Indexes have to be managed to be useful too which is another cost.

- amelius 7y agoOkay, so the videos may become preserved but inaccessible.
- duiker101 7y agoVideos still need to be indexed, why would Google keep the videos without indexing them?
- chillacy 7y agoLet’s not confuse the videos with the index of the videos. Videos can be stored on the slowest and cheapest medium, indexes might be kept in memory or flash. Each video takes hundreds of mb compressed, an entry in the index could be constant per video
- tbirrell 7y agoIndexing and storage are two different things. If something if not accessed regularly, then you don't want to index it. You can still access it, it just takes longer to find.
