Archiving videos for bitcoin - A weird thought that came to mind

As the title says and you probably think this sounds either stupid or naive, I have an obsession with archiving entire youtube channels including ones that have a huge amount of videos (I've archived pretty much all of Michael Does Life's channel and that's over 500 videos) due to entertainment value or possible significance in internet history (if you can call it that).

So I was wondering if someone would be willing to pay someone (in bitcoin preferably) to archive an entire channel, especially if it takes a long time to do so due to file size or just the sheer number of videos. Honestly I'm just sleep deprived and will probably get shat on for asking this but would a service like this be worth paying someone for?
 
How many bitcoins are we talking about?

Trying to figure that out.

I'm thinking...and should mention part of the reason I am asking is because I want to see what a reasonable price would be.

I'm thinking either...$2 - 3 worth of Bitcoin for 10 videos or so. That seems low but reasonable to me but I'm unsure if others would agree. Could have it be per 20 videos instead.

Check the white hats forums, they always need private storage, I doubt they'll want to archive videos but they do archive other stuffs.
