Engineering is a form of art where the engineer makes many decisions, large and small, where optimality cannot be proven. Taste most certainly plays a role, and there are engineering products that clearly show good or poor taste.
Unfortunately this particular art form requires fluency in mathematics and the sciences/computers, so it’s very inaccessible.
One of the things I’ve successfully used YouTube for was video storage of my security camera system. Unlimited video storage with a simple app to watch them in case I need to check something out!
And it’s simple: camera uploads automatically via FTP, inotifywait script uploads to google!
