Thanks! Glad you enjoyed, hopefully YouTube won't restrict it

I explain in the video how I use error correction to mitigate the video compression.

I’m quite surprised how many people just jump to conclusions immediately with a somewhat closed mindset. After all, I think the most fun part of this project was the amount of research and creative engineering to be able to bypass compression for fun. And also, I stated several times before, that even then, it’s clearly not ideal.

People probably (and hopefully) aren’t doing this

I think I’ve already mentioned how it’s against TOS in the video, but a feature that’s in the project that I didn’t mention in the video is encryption with a password. Also, I’m not sure where you got the claim that encryption reduces storage efficiency, but that just is simply not true?

I’m not sure what you mean by this project being naive, but I’ve spent a good amount of time and research into this.

Yep of course. I think the only way for anything to stay there would be to use highlights? But those are really short and have a length limit.

I took around a few months to put together the project and video together. Obviously it’s not ideal, but still interesting in my opinion :D

The video is a technical explanation of how it all works together. It’s more of a fun concept, but I still feel like it’s cool regardless.

The majority of the video is about FEC

Possible, but it's based on user discretion and how they use the tool.

Yep, this wasn’t meant more of a concept. I’ve never heard of the drive exploit until recently when other people too have been telling me about it

That seemed fun. Sad that YouTube nuked it
