Both can be true. Youtube is successful because it hosts so many videos. Downloading a few favourites doesn't impact their business model, but it allows me to save those few videos that I think don't deserve to be lost.
- dylan604 5y agoYou as an end viewer is not the topic though. I'm talking about the content creators that lose their content when YT makes a decision against them, but they no longer have a copy locally. For them to delete their only local copy because it's on YT just because they don't have the space, then that is 100% on them. I don't care if they are 15 years old and don't have the funds for massive drive space. That's just part of being in the video content creation business. Losing content as a creator is a growing pain lesson that everyone eventually learns. Its very similar to not having backups in general. It's a lesson best learned before it happens, but rarely learned until after.
