Youtube must get more new videos every day maybe every hour then Netflix has ever had.

  it's a mind boggling amount of bytes. how do the data centers keep up? could there be a scenario where data creation outpaces the rate at which storage medium manufacturing and installation occurs?

    I wonder how many UPS trucks full of hard drives Youtube uses in a day.

    Cheap tape storage, cold storage for videos with 0 views, good compression algorithms, economies of scale with HD manufacturers. But I imagine it's been a challenge, since video sizes have grown considerably as well. Hence why new Youtube algos heavily favor videos that can be easily monetized and thus profitable for them.
