Has cloud storage suddenly become a few orders of magnitude cheaper?<p>Periscope.tv has announced that every stream will be permanently archived by <i>default</i>.<p>YouTube already is replete with archives of Google Hangouts that are hours long, that hardly anybody watches.<p>How can all this be economically viable? Many of these videos are never going to be watched, but they&#x27;re going to be permanently stored on the cloud, available for streaming. Can anybody offer some insights on this please?
