     Currently we have a subscription to Vimeo .
     How does Peertube work regarding video uploads, payment for space etc?

     It's up to the owner of each server to decide how they handle things, but usually it works with free accounts supported by donations.

     If you were to give a regular donation, I think most server owners would be able to give you some kind of space for that.

     @feditips Thought about hosting #twitch streamer #vods #archives using #peertube to offset traffic costs but unsure how viable and cost efficient that would be.

     Considering it may be very low traffic per video if the archive spans back 5 years, the benefit may only show when playing vods from recent streams.🤔

     The income for most streamers is also relatively low so there's very little incentive for setting it up unless depending on charity.

     Yeah, economics do (unfortunately) come more into play with video due to the much larger amount of resources it takes up compared to text and images.

     But hopefully this will be less of a factor in the future, and great to hear that you considered PeerTube as an option 👍
