You're asking someone who'd spent a good chunk of my life creating Skyrim mods for free and volunteering for services in my community with no recompense or desire for money how I expect people to contribute things they presumably enjoy without getting paid? To be clear, you're asking me this from a server on a federated platform that is held together with community love and free-will donations?
I know we've been conditioned by capitalism to reduce everything to its monetary worth, but I feel like we should know better here.
Fair point, but the instance I use doesn't allow image uploads because of the disk space issue. Videos take way more space than that. And, of course, you can't just slap in a single drive, you need RAID or something so when a drive fails, you don't lose stuff.
Add in bandwidth concerns, and it's a legitimate question. Hosting a general video site can't be cheap, and people generally won't pay for it.
If we did want a community run video hosting site ala Lemmy, how would that work? What would it cost the hosters?
That's PeerTube. Idk what it's costing the hosts exactly, but my server is apparently bringing in enough in donations to be viable.
Idk I don't really care that much about video content, so I'll leave that up to someone else to parse. If someone provides an entirely free, ad-free way to share videos, then great. If not, then oh well.
