This could kill off smaller instances since they don't have the ressources to support that much data. The biggest german instance already has problems because they exceeded their server capacity if I remember correctly. Are there any mechanisms to stop that from happening?
Just turn off video uploads in the db? They’re already off by default, so you can activate them now if you want.
Yeah, the news made me wince. We're only a medium-sized instance but our image folder is already large and unwieldy. Throwing in video would bloat it quickly.
I can't see (m)any instances going with this or they'd need terabytes of storage.

I recommend always using things like imgur as a host for Pictures and Videos. Your admins will thank ya!
