   It could be up to the owner of each instance to decide. Keeping less popular videos forever could be a paid add-on.

     What about repeat postings to keep a video up which would expose the platform to those sticky costs and work against that rational aim?

     It would be annoying in all sorts of ways to have to provide a direct way for a user to fund that and it might give rise to unwanted behaviour where some entity can buy storage and delivery in ways that the regular user can't.

     Otherwise limited lifetime seems a positive feature.

     @dansup @loops That sounds like a good idea, there is a propensity to receiving repeated information constantly that it's really frustrating

     @dansup can you back older ones with distributed storage? Turn them into torrents?

     @dansup @loops I mean it is an interesting idea but the thing is that the “real power” of video hosting platforms is that over time they build out a library of videos, like YouTube is not the most popular platform because of the number of hours of connection that is posted there per hour as most of those videos to not get even a few views but the fact that there is hours of content about basically anything.
