purchase YouTube api quota

I have a pretty commercial we application and I want to use YouTube as my back-end to store videos which are being uploaded by users.

We want to even pay YouTube (Google) to provide extra quota for our users to upload videos through its API.

Is there any alternative to YouTube's api?

My first and maybe stupid solution was to have several YouTube Developer accounts and have a load-balancer server to amortize uploads within different Google Developer account and never run out of quota. But it is a technical solution not ethical and maybe would be in conflict with the YouTube API's term of services.

@JAL: Only programmers with enough experience can answer this question. Solution to this can have a hierarchical solution. Maybe using another API would be my answer. – Maziar Aboualizadehbehbahani

@JAL: so tell me where should I ask this? How can I find a group of creative developers who are eagerly waiting for questions? – Maziar Aboualizadehbehbahani
@MaziarAboualizadehBehbahani Have you solved your problem? Were you able to buy more youtube api quota? The reason I am asking is because I want to do the same. I dont want to start a business relying on a "free" api service – Keeto

If your intention is just to store, you should use Google Drive Storage instead of YouTube.

Either way, YT API won't let other people to upload videos into your account.
