@MakerTube@mastodon.social That is very reasonable pricing. Personally already a 10e/mo "Federation Friend" member on the Patreon to support the hosting of @buddiesofbudgie@floss.social videos on MakerTube, 250GB at that price point is overkill for my current needs but happy if it helps subsidize hosting others too in the meantime 🙂

New accounts on MakerTube are now moved over to the subscription model. Please choose a storage plan according to your needs, quota will be applied after successful payment/checkout. Existing users can already move over to the new model by subscribing, otherwise I will move them over later this year. Plans are tightly calculated, please subscribe to a bigger plan if possible. See also https://makertube.net/about/instance/support Thanks for your support!

@MakerTube@mastodon.social I may be a bit obtuse, but I am a little confused. Would that be up to 2 gb of uploads every month or total storage of up to 2 gb is free? Then is it up to 10 gigabytes uploads per month for €3 euros or is it a total of 10 gigabytes storage being €3 etc.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social Looks like I currently have 3.4GB on MakerTube, and I've been a Patreon supporter at 5USD/mo, so that end of the scale looks reasonable to me.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social 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

@MakerTube@mastodon.social that looks reasonable to me 👍 I'm on 1.5GB currently (so free on this plan), but will happily pay the proposed amount for the bottom tier.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social that sounds reasonable to me.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social I'm not sure there's a way to avoid requiring subscriptions. I'm one of your high-end users. I had 672gb of vids, and just deleted 71 livestream recordings, bringing me back down to under 500gb. I hope that helps a smidgeon. But I can see I'm going to have to delete more often than I do, and stay on top of what I make available. I think I've probably been a bit of burden on your resources. As I get over the 500gb amount again I will boost my donation from $5/week to whatever you suggest. I deeply understand the necessity to do so.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social Seems more than fair to me.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social What will happen to existing accounts with content in excess of 2GB that, for whatever reason, don't subscribe?

@MakerTube@mastodon.social I think for creators this does not really work. I make really small change on my videos, and none on MakerTube. I feed MakerTube with content, and am also responsible to pay for the hosting of it. The users on the other hand get both the content and the hosting for free? I think in a creator / consumer world the consumer WILL have to pay. And yes, I donated early on, and I WANT for a non-profit, hobbyist, decentralised solution to succeed. But I will have to stop uploading now.

@MakerTube@mastodon.social Took a look at my channel's storage, and currently it takes up 3.9gb I think I'll continue using the platform and subscribe, cause it's fair enough to pay for this considering there are no ads. Will I be able to upgrade tiers in the future if I decide to first subscribe to the first tier then move over to the second if my storage usage ends up reaching more than 10gb?

@MakerTube@mastodon.social When my Liberapay is up for renewal in a few weeks, I'll be more than happy to move to the closest available tier, but is there a way you can offer longer term plans (e.g. annual), to your selection? I know payment processors take fees out of every transaction, and I'd prefer to have those fees applied only once instead of twelve times. The more of my payment goes to you instead of Stripe, the better.
