    Okay, as I said in my other replies, the videos are unlisted, not monetized, and I don’t pay for it. What is not free about that?

          Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

              I’ll say this.

              When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

              • train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
              • develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
              • build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

              Or

              Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

              I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
