This is such an incredibly dumb idea. If this "storage method" was to gain any traction, Google would figure out how to shut it down, either by banning accounts (removing all your data) or worse, instituting a policy of removing videos that don't reach a certain view threshold. Not to mention, encoding data this way is inefficient as hell.

Just pay a few dollars for reliable storage, whether from Google or Proton or whoever you like.

Do you understand what a proof of concept is? No one is saying this is the next "lifehack" for unlimited storage.
