Edit: To clarify:

Is it even possible, financially speaking, to keep adding storage? I mean, advertisements don’t even make a lot of money, is the indefinite growth of server storage even sustainable?

Or will they do what Twitch does with old content and just delete them?

    They’re already wiping inactive google accounts and all related content. It’s going to be problematic for old videos where the owners haven’t used the account in some time.

    I have a friend that passed away past the limit, I’m going to need to make sure to archive all of his stuff or else it’ll all fall into the youtube void.

      GDPR requires that inactive accounts older than four years be wiped

        I got the memo but accounts with YouTube videos seem to be exempt from this. This is good because I uploaded some content a few years back and forgot the passwords.
