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.
I mean, I do use YT as cloud storage for free. And before you say the “nothing is free line,” note my other replies.
Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.
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?
Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?
That’s not an answer to my question. What value are they getting from me?
Do you really not know how Google’s whole business model works, or are you playing dumb?
Why can you not give me a straight answer?
I’ll say this.

Thank you for engaging the question more seriously but I still don’t care for you tone to me. Good day.
Because, frankly, I don’t think you’re being honest.
