Your "20mbit up" doesn't explain the videos that are already there.

Your "20mbit up" doesn't explain the videos that are already there.
- jlokier 7y agoIt doesn't, which is why I described ADSL upload rates taking multiple hours to upload a 1 hour video, and people doing it overnight. ADSL upload rates have been reasonably stable for many years. I've seen someone uploading a video like that and getting a bit nervous because they had a deadline, about 5 years ago. That's how I know people did it, but it took hours, not weeks. It would have taken weeks when they were still using 56k modems, before ADSL. But ADSL rolled out before YouTube was founded, so I doubt many people making long videos needed to do that.
