Some guy archived 1.8 petabytes of porn to test Amazon's "unlimited" cloud storage claim

Reddit user beaston02 was determined to find the true ceiling of Amazon's cloud storage plan, which was killed off in June. He decided to push its limits with a petabyte of porn. (Some people credit beaston02 for Amazon's decision to cancel the unlimited storage offering, but he denies that rumor.) For reference, a petabyte is one million gigabytes.
To gather this much data, beaston02 wrote scripts that recorded public webcam shows from a variety of adult cam sites, including CamSoda, Chaturbate, and MyFreeCams.
...He said it took five or six months to collect one petabyte of porn, and he stopped collecting just shy of 1.8 petabytes.
How long would it take one to consume 1.8 petabytes of porn? 1.8 petabytes is about 23.4 years of HD-TV video, but webcam streams are nowhere near that quality. A few good folks crunched the numbers: 720p is about two gigabytes per hour, and at 900,000 hours, that's 102 years of straight calendar time. If the videos are even lower quality, say, 480p, that's around 0.7 gigabytes per hour, or 293 years and six months. Better get to watching.

You've got to wonder about people who decide to do these kinds of things for the fun of it. How much time does one really have on their hands?

I hate Reddit and their users.

That is fantastic

I'm sure I would feel really comfortable touching ANYTHING in his entire home. And by "entire home", I mean the basement of his parents place.

I usually need only about 23.4 seconds of porn.

At least it wasn't a pedobyte.

It shocks me how much porn is out there. That was just public webcams. Not even produced porn.
Just crazy.
With that much content how do the performers even make $$?
Got to be just a few hundred a scene now.

So like 1.7 petabytes of some dumb bitch staring at the monitor with her hand on her monkey waiting to do stuff.

You do not know technology very well
Any halfway decent developer or Sysadmin can knock the code out in under a week, while doing their main job. Probably less than that. The code saves the feed and uploads it. Simply enter source and destination. Bulk of the time would be getting feed URLs and time to move that much data, but that would be automated. The code is probably already out there and just needed to be tweaked for his needs.
