If the modern internet teaches us anything, its that everything is ephemeral even when you stringently catalogue every last byte of data. People just dont need access to 90% of YouTube's library, yet Youtube has to pay big money to make 100% of that library available 24/7 365.

There's already rips at the seams of these systems. Time is not on the side of YouTube.
