I was wondering about this. The storage seems like it would be intense for anyone who had an active channel. No clue the tech end. Honestly i don't know what instance actually entails. Is that like a node?

Essentially like a node in the network. I'm kinda thinking this is where co-op structures would make sense: a group of people who like the same kind of videos, which can then allow video makers they like to use that instance to publish. The cost is spread out, though there would need to be someone with the know-how to run it. Video makers have gotten used to the hosting of their videos being paid for in data on Youtube and TikTok and such, so it's going to be a shock for them to see the actual cost, and that's where a community is necessary to spread that cost around.
