That's such a gigantic risk even if the host was Youtube just to save a couple thousand dollars in hosting costs. If you don't pay for the services provided you are not a customer but the product.

I hope they figure the situation out and can continue on this time with a more risk averse approach.
Can someone explain for people who never heard of these guys and don't even really understand social media terribly well? Asking for a friend....

Yeah - can’t understand how they don’t have backups, given how cheap disk is these days.
Forgetting the hosting costs, I would like to think they at least saved everything onto an external hard drive after editing the video before uploading it and have all of it somewhere. Having lost things myself over the years, I have a network drive with a dual mirrored hard drive at home that I store stuff on just for that reason.It sucks a lot but are you telling me they didn't keep a backup of all their content but instead relied on the benevolence of a third party host ?

I agree, you definitely have to keep backups these days just to be safe. However, on the other side, you're talking weeks, if not months worth of upload time if you have to re-upload thousands of videos in the event YouTube admits they made an error but can't or won't restore the ones he's referring to. Hopefully, they get it figured out.
Chances are I’ve read him before but just didn’t remember the name.... regardless, still wondering what happened....Since you're a Bucs fan, it's understandable. Every Patriots fan has heard of Lazar, at least on this board. He provides great insight into the game.

I don't follow the social media aspects or run websites or anything like that, but I sure do make sure I have my Carbonite subscription up to date. I once had a catastrophic computer crash. Carbonite was worth its weight in gold.Forgetting the hosting costs, I would like to think they at least saved everything onto an external hard drive after editing the video before uploading it and have all of it somewhere.

Agreed. As someone who works in tech. I hear people whine daily about losing information because THEY didn’t protect it and back it up. I can understand being upset about their page being deleted. But I have no tears when a “business” doesn’t protect THEIR information.
