wikiyu<p>I just discovered that my YouTube channel have over 300h of content. <br>9minutes of them is in my only public film. </p><p>all of other videos are family content or my personal vlogs where i am talking to myself just to improve english or to say loud about some ideas... or i want to share sth with friend in the form of vlog.... </p><p>i know that i need to clean up that shit but... I think now that i am one of few who overuse Youtube service for their free movie hosting ;-) </p><p>I think I can go from 300h to about 30-40h of movies when i will have there only recent vlogs and family content. but idea of having so much movies there... is fun for me. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/overUseCorporateGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overUseCorporateGreed</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/freetier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freetier</span></a></p>
