Wonder if they're considering mostly the bandwidth cost or the storage cost too?
Lets say a channel with videos does not get a lot of views, so takes up storage costing X, vs. a channel that get a lot of unmonetizable videos which take up bandwidth cost Y in addition to storage. Maybe bandwidth costs Y are much higher, so the former channels are safe?
Hopefully they give a long notice for the user to back those videos up, or there would be a lot of lost content.
If it's a great purge, it's going to be a huge mess with even Internet Archive teams and volunteers not able to keep up with the immense storage and bandwidth needed.
