This response from @owncast@fosstodon.org is befuddling.

Not once did I say that running Owncast is expensive. The server software itself isn’t expensive to run, and doesn’t require much in the way of hardware specs.

I said that video is expensive. Which it typically is, especially compared to text, photos, audio, etc.

Now if @owncast@fosstodon.org knows of ways to save on the cost of video, I’m sure everyone would like to learn how. Because it’s not just me who’s concerned about the cost of video. It’s a whole lot of people who would be running an Owncast server but haven’t yet.

So tell me how to do it. If I’m streaming all my video games, I’d rather use #Owncast than #Twitch.
