Every substantial youtube channel should be hosting and backing up to a self-hosted, owned, peertube.
Issue is such channels need giant amounts of storage for this.
Linus tech Tips showed his multiple upgrades over the years it's quite crazy what they need on storage space.
LTT storage is excessive. He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format. Plus if you're a youtuber with millions of subscribers you can afford to pay for a few TB of storage to hold and serve your videos. Its not that expensive.
Agreed. For archival, honestly 720p is good enough. Hockey highlights are uploaded in 720p, but 60 fps for the high motion - for GN or any other info based talking head type stuff, 30 fps will look fine.
