This is almost as brilliant as pifs.

I wouldn't recommend doing this. YouTube bans "spam" channels all the time, and when that happens all of its videos are deleted.

Plus, YouTube optimizes uploads and re-scales them and uses lossy compression, which will probably destroy any data you hide in its encodings.

Yep, youtube bans spam channels a lot. I've actually been banned from youtube on an account of mine before. I was using it to store my twitch streams years ago. They removed my videos and my youtube account, but kept everything else. I luckly didn't lose anything important because it was just being used to store twitch stuff and they didnt remove anything else like gmail or google drive.
