Video can still cost a lot of bandwidth on your personal hosting. .. I've actually been meaning to rehost all the stuff I have on either Vimeo or YouTube on a personal PeerTube instance, change all my embeds on my blog to point to PeerTube with YouTube/Viemo removed and links under the video to those respective sites as mirrors. None of my stuff gets enough attention for me to care about exposure, but big content creators who rely on YouTube ads really can't get away from it.

  The problem with peertube is that it leaks your IP to everyone else watching the video. I've been looking at the same thing.

  > Video can still cost a lot of bandwidth on your personal hosting. Jesus Christ. Just pay for the bandwidth! You can't at the same time go "I dont want to be subjected to this automation stuff" and "I don't want to pay!"

    More like use a dedicated server or vps host that bundles several TBs of bandwidth. It isn't hard to get ~20TB of bandwidth for $100-$200, compared to however much that would cost at aws/gcp.

      10 euros a month for a 16tb bandwidth openVZ server at Time4vps. I have a 1TB storage server for 17 euros a quarter and it has 4 TB of bandwidth. referral https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=1881&_ga=2.233890075.442089235.1571150202-1984222695.1566413786 https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=1881&_ga=2.233890075.4420892...

    Vimeo, which the original person was using, is a paid service.

  The videos don't have to be on your standard host. You could stick them on S3 or something, which might be cheaper, and is more portable than Vimeo or YouTube.
