How do social media companies like twitter or youtube not run out of space for posts?
I know memory is fairly cheap but e.g. there are millions of new videos on youtube everyday, each probably few hundred MBs to few GBs. It all has to take enormous amount of space. Not to mention backups.

Let's be honest, it isn't "free". The user is giving their own data to Google in order to use there services; and data is a commodity.
Kinda starting to seem like "data" is becoming less and less valuable, or am I wrong?
well there's more and more of it so the value per byte is decreasing as everything tracks you and there's only so much info you can get
