    Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.

    There are things that are free, Youtube is not one of them.

      Okay, as I said in my other replies, the videos are unlisted, not monetized, and I don’t pay for it. What is not free about that?

            Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

                I’ll say this.

                When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

                • train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
                • develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
                • build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

                Or

                Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

                I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
