40GB, 1/3 of my data is video, and I am not compressing or use thumbnails..
I’m temporarily removing all historic videos for the next month to see what happens to my bill.
- you will still be able to upload and play new videos like normal
- ‘View All’ accounts will still be able to see all videos (will update code tonight)
- Any video uploaded before now will not be seen on your timeline.
*Please feel free to complain!! Curious how many people it affects.
How does View All work, I paid the fee once, but cleared the browser or something and was asked to pay again? Is there a code or something I missed or do you have to pay for every use?
Originally I charged 2100 to fry a link that lasted a week or so.
Now I charge 21000 sats for an account with login that works for a year.
I imagine 98% of the data you serve is stuff that was uploaded in the past 48 hours?
Also I don’t think social media persistence has huge value to the user? It’s mostly downside.
Data out spikes might be headless clients or some kind of automated scraper that someone is using? Exposure to this is also a vulnerability you have.
Yeah, wondering the same about scrapers..
are your media urls going straight to s3, or do you have custom code proxying your s3 bucket? with the latter you could look at user agent headers and drop obvious bots. not sure if cloudfront supports that kind of logic.
Not on S3 yet, we are doing just that, looking at headers and bots. Thank you
Shoot. There were some good videos people posted today that I was just going to go grab and they are already gone 😖

Temporary usually means permanent.
It depends, but currently isn’t worth $500 a month to host all these free video uploads…
I’m trying to find the source of the issue and turning off those older videos will help.
All new videos from that post on are being stored just fine, just an older 40GB chunk.
FYI - I’m not touching paid account videos at all.

All videos are back on!
