I'm assuming they'll just re-encode everything, for every user, to a lower bitrate
using this codec.
So, with their huge user base they'll be saving a gazillion terabytes hourly, that's what I concluded from their "2 years in the making" announcement.

They probably exist in Cheltenham and Maryland but for Meta this likely doesn't make a big enough part of their storage costs to bother
