Growth in this context is that there are a larger volume of videos each year. So each year a single video is exponentially a smaller and smaller percentage of the total.
replyYeah and the math doesn't check out.
replyFor example, if in year N youtube has f(N) new video. Let assume f(N) = cN^2. It's a crazy rate of growth. It's far better than the real world Youtube, which grew rather linearly.
But the rate of "videos that are older than 5 years" is still faster than that, because it would be cubic instead of quadratic. Unless the it's really exponential (it isn't), "videos that are older than 5 years" will always surpass "new videos this year" eventually.

replySuch a weird strawman argument that you are making up. You've over thought this so much that you are missing the forest from the trees
Yes. a video no one watches is a waste of storage.
reply^ This.
