I'm so confused by this - I thought Highlights were just sections of VODs? If they're keeping VODs, then how do highlights affect any overhead aside from some text in a database that says "just play [this VOD] from [start time] to [end time] and give it [this title]"
Ohhhhh ok, that makes sense then. It's stupid, but it makes sense. I'm worried about how this is going to negatively effect YouTube content creators. I suspect everybody but the super-rich companies are about to lose here :(

The highest I’m personally acquainted are in the 6-7 thousands. There are quite a few.
Highlights never expired, ever. So you could highlight the whole vod and boom, instant forever archive.
Not anymore.
