Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Thank you for that, but I still don't understand where the benefits come from.
Realistically what you wrote sounds like hogwash.
This dude is trying perf checking the solution https://github.com/Olow304/memvid/issues/51 , findings he has (so far) are interesting, like data getting malformed during processing (byte size comparison). Or that 16KB of text is 640KB of video.
Oh, and right now people are calling out the bullshit of the repo

Thank you for taking the time to look into it!
Um... Yeah.... Using 3 gigs to store 19 megs of text is... suboptimal.
Maybe something neat will come out of this down the road, but right now it doesn't seem very practical.
TBH this looks like a scam (false claims) made for clout. Especially given how advertised the repo is on all social medias.
Edit: author of it is an uni student, so nevermind, I guess he's just inexperienced not malevolent.
