   Based on prior discussions, a storage based subscription plan for MakerTube could look like this:

   - free until 2GB
   - 10GB 3€/mo
   - 100GB 5€/mo
   - 250GB 10€/mo
   - 500GB 20€/mo
   - 1000GB 35€/mo

   The plan is to enable it for new users in the near future and move existing users over later this year.

     @MakerTube Hi,

     We're designing a feature to reduce storage costs for admins. The idea is to apply rules to videos based on specific criteria.

     Rules can be:
     * Delete all resolutions except max one
     * Move files in another object storage provider/system (glacier...)

     Criteria can be:
     * No views since x days
     * Age > x days

     I'd really like to hear your feedback on that

     I'm also thinking of a subscription model for MakerTube like Spectra is discussing it. Price increase at Hetzner's is hitting us quite hard (roughly +30%) and I don't know how to cover costs for future storage increase. Sadly I must say that the donation based approach has its limits. A good portion of the costs are covered by early adopters even though we see a constant growth in the user base. Wdyt? #peertube #makertube #finance #donations #hetzner #hosting #costs
