IMO a very small amount of storage should be free but after that the user needs to pay. It’s the right thing to do for hosts and for the environment. If content creators need massive amounts of video then that will incentivize them to make money on it.
The only people left out are small, niche channels that have quality or important content but don’t make much money. Maybe they could be cut special deals by the hosts / donors.
Dan has mentioned some time ago that he was thinking about making the videos delete themselves after some time, but I’m not sure if he ever followed up with that.
… Who is going to be fronting all those video hosting storage costs??
