Yes, but it could perhaps be more profitable, if they cut spending on this aspect?

For every year that passes, storage becomes cheaper, but the total size of youtube's video repository grows. I wonder what the net effect of all that is in the end. Ever increasing costs? Or maybe it kinda evens out.

Interestingly, if storage cost decreases geometrically over time, then the total storage cost of storing a video for all eternity is finite.

Though what I was commenting on here wasn't so much the cost of storing a video at all, but storing it in 'warm' enough storage that you can load it really quickly.
