Spectra currently stores 7.5 TB of videos. As our costs continue to rise, we need to make a serious decision about the long-term viability of our platform and operations.
One thing we are thinking seriously about is defaulting to a set per-account upload limit, with the ability to pay for additional storage as needed. It's not a great situation, but we've found that a very tiny portion of our userbase tends to use up the most space.
We need to figure out something soon, as our costs and operational requirements are skyrocketing. We are currently paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars every month just to keep our #PeerTube instance going.

I'm feeling the pain, and need to make some hard decisions about Spectra. I'm currently shoveling like $600 per month into the furnace to keep this thing going, and I can't do it for much longer. Most of the pain stems from a handful of accounts absolutely abusing our "unlimited storage" offering.
