The irony of posting that video on YouTube. If you actually think it’s a problem, FFS self-host your video, my friends. Or cross-post it and make the YouTube link the second one.
Self hosting is entirely non viable for the scale gamer nexus is operating at. It would be fucking stupid for him to even bother.
He’s trying to reach a wide audience with multi hour long videos. Just this video alone could cost him around 30k+ USD in bandwidth and hardware on the very low end of he wants to match the quality and reach. Realistically it would be much higher. Hes making 4k60fps videos delivered to a global audience. That video alone is likely already amassed well over 30 petabytes of bandwidth useage if not more. You can’t manage that with just one or two servers hosting the file. Not counting his other videos.
Its physically just not possible to do that and stay profitable. There’s a reason self hosting can’t compete with YouTube. They are functionally subsidizing absurd amounts of cost for a lot of the larger creators.
Self hosting is, will always be and has always been a fucking joke for scale. Its a fun thing to do for personal video collections or low resolution stuff. But it’s fucking retarded for anything professional unless you own a massive amount of servers all over the place and you arnt paying for your own bandwidth.
Your rarely goanna be able to deliver petabytes of data at that scale and not be paying for bandwidth. Owning the hardware is the cheap part.
