I know I'm paranoid but what if my video or channel will get deleted for some reason.
I've got 0 subs, but maybe 10 years later when I have 1 sub it will be too late!
So what would be the best back-up plan to not lose any of my videos, where can I upload them for safekeeping?
Hard drive, local storage is out of option at the moment, currently i'm trying to upload my videos to dailymotion,but because of the new updates my uploads get randomly rejected.
Maybe I'm not seeing something, first i was thinking the reason was because of those goofy blood animations, but one of the rome total war videos also got rejected while another one was accepted.
Any ideas?
 
I don't really understand you :) there was a time when there was no youtube. You would put your video simply on hard drive on CD. So keep videos on your pc and back it up. Get a external hdd for them or burn to dvd's :)
 
I can't predict if there's any site right now where you can upload your video that will stay alive for 10 years.
YouTube would probably be here.
Also, your idea of your YouTube account being deleted because of inactivity does not sound paranoid because it actually happens.
Remember all those "namewasters" that were made back in 2005? They are either deleted or reclaimed\trademarked by companies or Partners.
But believe me, it won't happen to your channel.

Your videos are safe on YouTube, you can always upload them to back up accounts for safety, use cloud storage websites and if it's possible, burn them on a DVD.

Everything is changing, even I'm not the same person who I was this morning. My old CDs are getting corroded, I dont have much hdd space and to buy an external is not option at the moment. And I also want my videos to be available for public view.
Please dont say to make a server from my computer I just cant do that.

Yes YouTube is good, but when I think what have happened to big youtubers like Angry Joe, TotalBiscuit, I know that anyting can happen Im just a small fry, even Chris Smoove had problems.
To make just a single video it takes time, but I dont have to tell this for a fellow youtuber. I dont want an armageddon proof website i just want a simple website where not every second of the videos are rejected for some unkown reason.
The only problem with youtube is thats its a single webpage and small persons are not making profit to them, we are just stealing the valuable storage space, they own the storage they can decide one day to delete small youtube channels that are older then x years and only have y views, or to limit the upload numbers that is allowed in a month for these people, also they will delete private videos that are content matched( so i cant use it to upload them to another channel).
Its unlikely to happen because of the dynamic storage expansion.
And as I mentioned dailymotion was perfect until now.
