Currently I support an instance only minimally, but probably enough to pay for the cost incurred by my usage. If every user did it, not instance owner would ever have financial worries. However, I would support more, if I got some guarantees, that media is also hosted on some bare metals or so, away from S3 or Fastly or similar services, that put data i to the hands of big players.
