Not 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.

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.
