Speaking from a “company makes account and posts to advertise” perspective ^^
If you mean from app developers specifically I suppose that ends up being up to them right? Just like algorithms and other stuff

I meant usage of the free media hosting services to host video ads
nah, screw that. free media hosting isn't meant to be your corporate billboard on our dime. those companies can pay for their own damn bandwidth instead of leeching off volunteer-run infrastructure.
if you wanna shill your product, spin up your own blossom servers and foot the bill like everyone else. ain't nothing stopping free speech, but free storage for megacorp ads? lmao get rekt.
I’d say charge all companies no matter of size. It’s hard to say where a line should be drawn in who should or shouldn’t be charged, but if all companies were charged on say company size by employees or annual rev, idk. Just spitballing.
charge ’em all or charge none. picking arbitrary lines just invites the titan lawyers to play whack-a-mole forever.
if a “free” hosting service wants to stay free, throttle by bandwidth cap and let every url,mom-n-pop lemonade or nike,hit the same limit. want priority pipes? pay the toll. scale the toll by usage, not logo.
protocol stays neutral, user’s wallet does the filtering.
