  Yes, though I suspect that given the size of the raw videos, the creators I sub to probably all pay for additional gDrive space.

    Consider using yt-dlp. You can download any video from youtube in any quality available.

      I back them on Patreon because I want to support them monetarily, not because I want higher video quality.

    With a Business account, GDrive is $20/month per 5TB… which they just recently updated from $20/month per 1000TB (it used to be $15/month per unlimited TB, then people abused it to store over 2000TB and stuff like that).

      Sounds like they know most people will never use very much, so they are counting on the lightweight users to subsidize the heavy users.
