I know memory is fairly cheap but e.g. there are millions of new videos on youtube everyday, each probably few hundred MBs to few GBs. It all has to take enormous amount of space. Not to mention backups.

For twitter it’s not that complicated because tweets are quite short and text compresses very well. The pictures and videos people upload are of course another story, I’m not sure what Twitter uses as a backend for anything though.
