If storage is a problem, couldn’t Blusky add a size limit to video uploads?

It's not storage, it's bandwidth. Most system providers, for Bad Reasons, charge a lot for egress; even relatively good ones like Cloudflare have particular payment shenanigans around video. Size uploads could help in that situation, but it's a bandaid on a bullet wound when the video still gets played a million times, y'know?

A size limit affects both equally.

That's only for the web service. Workers and R2 let you do video just fine. And small videos don't need any fancy logic, just toss them over http.

No, I legitimately don't know. Why is it different from an image that gets a million views?

Then people are going to link to YouTube and benefit of getting lesser copies is small. The rest of media that works within a limit on a microblogging are junk.
