I just came across an article that says #Bluesky now supports uploading videos up to 3 minutes long.
Sorry for the extremely newbie question but I wonder what the impact would be on the hypotethical of a self-hosted relay?
In a phenomenal article from last year @cwebber wrote that running a relay in November 2024 required 5 TERABYTES of storage (https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky)... up from 1 TB in July 2024.
Does video make Bluesky decentralization / self-hosting a relay even more unattainable? 🤔

A one minute video I made for a client was 120 MB (1080p, 20Mbps bitrate). Multiply that by 3... and you've got 360 MB for ONE video hosted on Bluesky's main relay. ONE.
If Bluesky in November 2024 required 5 TB to self-host a relay with just text and images, I wonder what would be required now.
It would be awesome if someone could track this and give an estimate in April 2025

Even smartphones can make pics with 5 or 10 mb as default.
.
Thats why "free" services ( paid by ad-industry) are so problematic.
Huge amounts of data ( often trash) .
Thats why i prefer high quality low.size videos on peertube more than high quantity content on youtube.
Ask for the
#BusinessModel and who pays for the service. .. and how.
