And, unfortunately, it is becoming too easy to blame AI for the creation of material we don't like. -

I'm more optimistic than you on this front. -

I wish video documentation would stop it. But if you're here you'd kind of know it's not gonna stem the tide in my nation. Shame and reality are irrelevant now; doesn't move the needle. As an American it's pretty easy to see that the collapse of our ideals post WWII society is inevitable. The capitalists want it and they have the power, they control the narratives. And the narratives don't offer rationality--they just offer ideological excuses. Not exactly sure why the powerful want this. Maybe they're just cruel people? Maybe they know climate change is coming and will cause crisis so they need to lock things down with fascism to have societal control while covering their asses(ts)? I don't know. I do know I'm sad. I would've rather not lived through this. -

Would you limit storage space for uploads and/or remove videos after a certain amount of time on the platform? Storage tends to be one of the biggest difficulties cost-wise for a video hosting site. Keep in mind that you don't store just one copy of the video at the resolution that was uploaded. You store multiple copies of the video at progressively smaller sizes - so if somebody uploads 4k, you will end up storing at least 1080p and 720p copies as well - as well as potentially 2.5k and 480p copies depending. People don't usually expect their videos to stay on the site for only 1 year. So even if you're able to stay even at £60 ($82USD)/year for a year or two, as long as people are uploading and not deleting things, your costs will keep increasing. That's also not to mention transfer and CDN costs which are also potentially high. Imagine having a single very popular creator who uploads a daily 20 minute video in 4K quality which is then streamed by 1 million people every day. Will you still charge them just $82/year even though they're costing you a lot more than that? To make it worse, storage costs are increasing a lot - thanks to the AIpocalypse for RAM which impacts SSD's as well... and since SSD's are up, hard drives also went up since the big players are buying more of them instead of SSD's. This is where decentralized options like PeerTube start to become tempting - though they suffer the problem that a chunk of the content can vanish because a single operator gets tired of paying a lot of money to host others' content.
