  • I seriously do not understand this.

    • OP claims it’s just for fun, yet it isn’t, as it’s for money.
    • OP says they’ve made hundreds of bucks on this, yet zero of the thousand pages are claimed.
    • OP says it’d be “interesting … to give people a tiny piece of a website” yet they aren’t giving away anything, it’s costs money.
    • “What if every person got their own HTML” but limits it to 1000 so every person cannot get their own HTML.
    • OP posts in the self hosting community, yet they aren’t even self hosting the website and, if I paid $1, I wouldn’t be self hosting my HTML page.

    I feel like if OP were just honest about this they’d have better luck. Not good luck, but better luck.

    I don’t need a raw video older than a day after the video is finished. I also don’t need TBs of legally acquired content. I also don’t need TBs of archived YouTube videos. I don’t really need a NAS. I don’t need a phone. We don’t really need any of this tech stuff actually.

    To answer your question more seriously, they’re nice to have sometimes, instead of having to re-edit finished videos to make a compilation or something. I’m also hoping that maybe I’ll see some success some day and be able to hire a more skilled editor (or even just me from the future with improved skills) to turn old media into feature-length films or just better versions of what I released. I dunno. It’s data hoarding, but when I do want it, it’s super nice to have.

    I’ve also seen multiple professional creators talk about regretting not keeping the original footage from their old videos, so I’m not making that mistake. It’s just nice to have it if you ever do want it, and I have the skills to archive it myself on the cheap, as compared to paying something like BackBlaze $7/TB/mo.

    Just checked and my average video this year is currently at 400GB, so that’s $4*2 for redundancy, so $8 per week aka $35/mo. If it were in BackBlaze, my subscription fee would go up by $12 per month forever, and it’d currently be at $630/mo, with zero redundancy. When I frame it like that, I’d be a fool not to do it!

    Yeah, I have 40Mbps uploads at my house, that’s the best I can get. I create anywhere from 100GB to 3TB of footage per week. On the high end, it’d take an entire week to sync, sucking up all of my upload bandwidth for that time, meaning I wouldn’t even be able to upload the videos I create to YouTube/PeerTube in a reasonable amount of time. When I get faster upload speeds I’ll definitely have to build a remote NAS for closer to real time backups.
