A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes, though I suspect that given the size of the raw videos, the creators I sub to probably all pay for additional gDrive space. 15GB is the free limit afaik, and some of the videos are 5GB+ each, and there are tens of videos.
Consider using yt-dlp. You can download any video from youtube in any quality available.
I back them on Patreon because I want to support them monetarily, not because I want higher video quality.
My apologies, I misread your previous comment. Please disregard.
No worries!
With a Business account, GDrive is $20/month per 5TB... which they just recently updated from $20/month per 1000TB (it used to be $15/month per unlimited TB, then people abused it to store over 2000TB and stuff like that).
Sounds like they know most people will never use very much, so they are counting on the lightweight users to subsidize the heavy users.
I blame LTT for giving people ideas: https://youtu.be/y2F0wjoKEhg
He got a few million views on the video, everyone got capped.
