@atomicpoet Sure, but that just means people should be careful.

For instance, I have colocated machines with uncapped bandwidth. I can run stuff without having to worry about getting some multi-thousand dollar bill at the end of the month. But people who are hosting services with typical providers, of course, would need to be very deliberate and careful to make sure they don't come close to their maximum transfer.

So are you talking about setting up a Peertube co-op that hosts videos for a thousand users? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? I'm curious because I'd be willing to offer resources.

@atomicpoet It shouldn't cost much, if you already have machines on networks with decent bandwidth. Then again, I know all "cloud" things are meant to extract profit once they become popular, and video hosting could easily go from nothing to something quickly.

How many terabytes of storage and how many terabytes of transfer per month are we talking about here? This could easily be started on resources that some of us already have and can be scaled up later, rather than using "cloud" and worrying about some huge bill at some point.
