Isn't YouTube now actively throwing out old content?

- cute_boi 6y agoany proof? I can still see my content from 20 years(probably) ago .
- dredmorbius 6y agoLikely no more than 15 years ago, unless you just broke embargo on the Tardis project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youtube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youtube
- kevincox 6y agoNot that I am aware of. It is possible that they are throwing away different quality transcodes of old and unpopular content and regenerating on the fly if needed. But my understanding is that videos are never automatically removed.
- ForHackernews 6y ago> videos are never automatically removed. Unless the video trips some automated DMCA thing, or the owner of the video account runs afoul of some inscrutable algorithm, or journalists start asking about disturbing videos aimed at children, or... But yes, probably not to save money on storage.
- alternatetwo 6y agoEspecially since those don't actually remove the files, since there's almost always still a chance to get the account back.
