Ye Concert Preservation Project
A public archive project for collecting, organizing, and preserving Ye concert footage so performances do not disappear into dead links, private drives, and takedowns.
What This Is
The goal is to consolidate recordings from Ye concerts into one durable, navigable archive: full videos, setlists, timestamps, source credits, and notes on what has been preserved.
This page is a placeholder while the archive model is designed. The first public build starts with SoFi Stadium Night 2.
Funding Promise
I am committed to documenting this process transparently. I am not taking profit from this project. Any donation money goes toward hosting, storage, bandwidth, and related server costs for preserving the footage.
As the archive grows, this page will list monthly infrastructure costs, money received, and what each payment covered.
Current Cost Model
The likely Cloudflare setup is Cloudflare Stream for playback and delivery, or a hybrid model using Cloudflare R2 for raw archival storage. These estimates will be updated before donations open.
- Video storage$5 per 1,000 stored minutes/month on Cloudflare Stream
- Video delivery$1 per 1,000 viewed minutes on Cloudflare Stream
- Archive storagePotentially Cloudflare R2 for original files/backups
Donate
A donation link will appear here once the public cost ledger is ready. The intent is simple: help keep the archive online without turning it into a business.
