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?

[–] null@slrpnk.net -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That's not an answer to my question. What value are they getting from me?

[–] null@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why can you not give me a straight answer?

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.

Thank you for engaging the question more seriously but I still don't care for you tone to me. Good day.

That's nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.

[–] null@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 month ago

Because, frankly, I don't think you're being honest.
