Sometimes i feel bad for YouTube. Video hosting is the worst of both worlds (heaviest storage and highest bandwidth) and there's a LOT of video on YouTube, most of it worthless.

and they keep the original file as well as their converted file. So every video you upload is stored at least twice. Technically more, because popular videos are stored on multiple servers to ensure fast load times no matter where you live. It's crazy. I would love to see a behind the scenes your of YouTube, and a live stat counter page. It would seem fake.
